    Just accidentally scrubbed another reply, while looking for a link to anothe video ! Maddening! But as Peter Sellars, aka The Pink Panther once observed : ‘All part of life’s rich pageant.’

    Heck, I hadn’t thought of Fred needing to do a bit of moonlighting. Still and all, the drug bit looked a bit suspicious ! :-) Anyway, spot on about Jennifer. Even a nice name. Reminded me of that song of Donovan’s :

    A while back, I bet on Corbyn to become next PM at 9/4 and Labour to obtain most seats at next G.E. at 5/2. I would like to bet on more, but mustn’t. Nearly did though, before I remembered.

    I’ll tell you what, Dazzler, since becoming a widower, if anything, I find it harder to avoid looking wistfully at women than when I was young, single and the hormones were still raging.

    Apparently, Jennifer’s mother was an opera singer, and I think what she inherited and learnt from her, may be what gives her an edge over the other singers of that song. But the Donovan song is a beaut, too.

    BigG and Raymo

    Also money list bets 2019-20 season

    XANDER SCHAUFFELE 22/1

    This guy will be a big player in all the majors also a 2nd at East lake also suggests he will be even better next season can be a strong contender early on to will defend WGC in Asia which a big money event likely to play in CJ cup or CIMB classic as well in Asia every chance can add a major next year

    HIDECKI MATSUYAMA 50/1

    He is a class act but not able get back to form when he romp home in WGC Asia and Hero challenge but no doubt he could bounce back in 2020 expect a strong start in Asia this year after which he got form at Augusta and that could go his way and have one of best years in carear

    VICKTOR HOVLAND 150/1

    We saw him Wolf and Morikawa make a big impact and while he not get a PGA tour win yet i think that come early on in season once he wins once the floodgates open for him.Was 32nd at Augusta and 12th at us open and can improve on those major stats next year.

    Rory is one i consider strongly but price not tempt me but it could if get off to a bad start in WGC Asia a big event in this market

    Any views Raymo and BigG

    Thanks Raymo, I’m well pleased with all four, and if Paul Casey didn’t have
    “one of those rounds”, I’d be laughing all the way to the bank with a 35/1
    1st round winner with Schwab. I’ll have to settle for the e/w part of that,
    which at least covered all my 1st round bets and left me with a bit of profit.
    I hope they all keep it up, it would give me a few chances come Sunday :good:

    I know you’ve been following the Korn Ferry events closely Darren, I’m not
    as clued up on that as you will be, but there are a couple which I’ve clocked,
    Tom Lewis and one you’ve already mentiond in Viktor Hovland. I’ll be keeping a
    closer eye on these guys now that they will be playing on the big tour to see
    how they cope with the step up.

    As for the money list, I know I wrote a while back about a couple, but I can’t
    find the post. I said that it was hard to see past Koepka, but at odds of 3/1
    he’s of no interest to me. I mentioned that Justin Thomas might be of interest
    at 10/1, but the player who stood out in the market to me was Jordan Spieth at
    50/1. He’s too good a player not to find out what ails his game at the moment,
    it seems incredible that you have to go back more than a couple of years to find
    his last win in The Open. As a big outsider, I will stick a few quid on Chez Reavie
    at 300/1. He’s one of these players who didn’t quite get there, but seems to be a
    bit of a late bloomer at 37. On his game he can match anyone, and if he has the
    confidence he should have from a very good year, and that 1st win under his belt,
    he could pick up a good few wins, I wouldn’t even rule out one of the Majors. Good
    luck with your money list bets Darren, some very decent chances in there :good:

    Serena does look formidable after that match, doesn’t she ? Maybe she’ll breeze through it, but strange things happen all the time, don’t they ? In this US Open more than most. I wonder if confidence, grit and fitness will be the key factors. Andreescu apparently didn’t flag much when the chips were down, and she’s kept surprisng everyone, not least herself, at how good she’s become. So, she could have close to the confidence of a champion, at least going into the game. Actually I’ll get the Andreescu place, but not Nadal. You and BigG will be in clover whichever way it goes, Uncle Dazzbert!

    Well ………………….. Macintyre blew everyone away with that round WOW!!
    Can he sustain it? I doubt it but it is a formidable lead with only the German close!!
    Graham’s men are gathered in behind waiting for the error!!
    And I have Bjork with a squeak too.
    To be honest I thought anyone that breaks seventy would be playing really well but 65!!

    Today will be really interesting to see how these two get on with the pressure of being leaders.

    Seems the MacIntyre wheels have come off the bogey Raymo, 3 over after 11 and 1 behind Ritthammer.
    Migliozzi was coasting along well, 3 under for his round at the turn and at 8 under he would
    have been 1 off the lead, but he’s gone and done it with a bogey and and triple bogey at the
    start of the back 9. Schwab was doing fine as well, but as I speak (type) he’s dropped one at
    the 12th to drop to 6 under. My team need to pull their socks up if they are to take a hand in
    this tomorrow :wacko:

    Yes, what a great shout, Mom. I think Daz took 16s, and I managed to get 14s, as I expect you would have – if not the 16s. Thanks for the retirement gift (or semi-retirement gift), Dazzler.

    Now that I have to stop betting, it looks like I might have some small-priced political bets coming good, too. What a twisted sense of humour God has! (Just like mine…. the rotter!). It wouldn’t be the frst time He’s pulled a stunt like that on me…. If I’d succumbed and put another bet on, Bianca and Goosen would have lost. Foreshore.

    3 events on WTA Tour but i be betting on only one of them

    JELENA OSTAPENKO 40/1 WTA Zhengzou open

    With doubts over how Svitolina and Pliskova perform after us open after Pliskova talk about a break and for me Ostapenko has won in Asia before and win over Alison Riske suggest a big run coming soon.Could face Sabalenka early but that rival is in doubles final at us open so plane trip not ideal while Kerber not in form.So woman from Lativa can win 1st title this year.

    Well done Darren and Grimes with Andrescu, a very nice 16/1 shot. Hopefully
    Nadal can double up for you Darren, you’re certainly the man for the tennis :good:
