Daizie - That was just a little joke. We are all used to the Jimmy Tarbuck / diamond sweater jokes (I have a few)



Quids - Paul Casey has a good Masters record: has finished 6th 10th and 11th in last four years - and a win last week to boot.

I've placed ?50 as follows:

Rory McIlroy @ 36 ?10.00 ?350.00

Paul Casey @ 30 ?10.00 ?290.00

Zach Johnson @ 50 ?10.00 ?490.00

Justin Leonard @ 130 ?2.75 ?354.75

@ 130 ?7.25 ?935.25

Padraig Harrington 21 ?10.00 ?200.00


Good luck..............

I played Beckenham Place Park yesterday. Actually considering its a 15 min drive (on a good run) I thought it was pretty good, certainly better than the one in Mitcham. The back nine holes are quite challenging and attractive and a lot more interesting than the front. ?23 is a bit steep but it is in London I guess and that's the price you pay for convenience.


Greens are a little ropey and the biggest frustration is that the course has no distance markers whatsoever! Otherwise certainly worth a look ...

Mick, first the bad news, you're going to wake up with a hangover, but the good news is Rory didn't get disqualified! He must be kicking himself though for getting into such a good position and then throwing it away...


Goosen failed to make the cut, but Rose is hanging in there with a respectable -2, one of the big guns needs to make a move today, would be nice to see Garcia go on to win...

Sadly Not Mick!


I stand to be corrected but I'm pretty sure I put "Angel and Jim" when I wrote this at 6.20 but, for a joke, I edited this to read "Kenny and Chad" at 10.16 (as they were betting 98% round the front 2 i.e. Odds of 1/2 and 9/4 respectively!) and the pair were beat!


I assumed that I would lose as I had laid both and put in a "Lay" of 2.1 against Angel and let The Young Lady monopolise the Computer and went to bed.


When I awoke I couldn't believe neither had Won but that "2.1 Lay" was to turn Angel into a "Taker" so all 3 Players made me finish even, which I would have settled for as I went with Jim F. and then Phil M. and they both faded, as you know.

Only Betfair which easily has the most liquidity RD.


Been with them since May,2003.

Reckon this will be a great tournament - lots of home (GB&I) guys in form at the moment.


Great challenge for McIlroy to see how he does and he says he is hitting some form. Woods obvious favourite. Any thoughts anyone?

Oh - and my wife's sister and her hubby are visiting at the weekend - I have said I will be watching TV all afternoon Saturday and Sunday as the Open is the highlight of my sports viewing year and I won't be available for doing stupid things like sitting in the park - Is this selfish? [women with no interest in sport need not reply, as you are biased]

Before my time, but I think Nicklaus' put on the 18th green in 77 must have been one of the greatest putts ever. Watson was a shot ahead and sitting 1 1/2 feet from the hole with a birdie putt. Nicklaus had to play second and was in the rough 150 yards from the green, he played a great shot to make the green and had a 40 foot putt.


Amazingly he made the putt - Watson made his too and won but Nicklaus was an incredible guy under pressure and to make that putt was amazing.

    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them 
    • Corbyn was unelectable - he got trashed by Boris who was a buffoon. It was a good job too because I would have hated to see Corbyn and his rag-tag bunch of far-left university politics backbenchers try to lead the country through Covid.  It is completely understandable why Starmer and the Labour Party want to purge Momentum from within their ranks and Cllr McAsh has fallen victim of that.
