    I didn’t watch the golf yesterday but looking at the scores it must have been tough!! Only HOMA broke par I think :scratch: :scratch:
    If Hatton comes back to the field you two have some serious chances.
    I have backed a couple to win to give me an interest LIESHMANN 5/1 and ENGLISH 16/1.

    This will be my last shout for a week cos of Cheltenham next week so hopefully one of us can get the winner before my week off :good: :good:

    That about sums it up Raymo, not quite was I was looking for. I was particularly
    pissed at Bezuidenhout collapsing, I thought he had a genuine chance, and if not
    I was sure he’d stay in the place money at 125/1. Not a birdie in sight and 7
    bogies :wacko: I can’t complain, I got a return on him in the 1st round betting
    at 1oo/1, and Sungjae placed tonight. I had DeChambeau on the nose so nothing
    back on him. Between them and Gagli placed in the 1st round at 125/1 Qatar I did
    well enough. I can’t quite concentrate on them anyway, I’ve got Festival fever :wacko:

    Best of luck this week guys, I’m heading down south on Thursday and I’ll be at
    Cheltenham on Friday. I’ve got a few bets on Bristol De Mai in the Gold Cup, all
    at 50s. If he can improve on last year’s 3rd you’ll hear me no matter where you are :yahoo:

    No luck guys well here the bets for the players championship.

    BROOKS KOEPKA 40/1

    Out to a price like this and hit worst round in life on saturday this was place where final round 63 in 2017 got his form back was 2nd a week later and won 1st majors that year.Putting has come back to him but other parts of game not but might be best time to get him.

    ADAM SCOTT 28/1

    Won here in 2004 and every chance of another win here of course that 2004 win a long time ago but won Rivera this year last 2events not great by him a return to this venue may see him going close.

    XANDER SCHAUFFLE 30/1

    This young buck wins big events like Tour Championship on debut and HSBC Championship in Asia and every chance a run this week on the cards was 2nd behind Simpson here in 2017 this ball striker of highest class has the tools to tame sawgrass.

    ABRAHAM ANCER 90/1

    Not won on PGA tour yet so this be amazing if break duck here was 12th here on debut and now ranked 29 in the world there no doubt can improve on that can cause issues for biggest names in the world.

    KEVIN KISNER 125/1

    KK lost a 3man playoff when Fowler turn into superman he did but he loves it here and one player going under the radar yes expect him play better at Bay hill but back this venue can go well.

    SI WOO KIM 400/1

    No one saw him winning this event in 2017 WD MC 22ND were form figures coming into here and same price then as his now so could lightning strike twice.No one knows with him when he returns to form but with more letters than numbers for form figures it could be here.

    Raymo so bets on golf this week a big event to miss mate how about you BigG.

    Yes, I’m fine thanks, Daz. Trying to set the world to rights, as usual, when I’m not festering. If you want to get the real news of what’s going on in the world, a good site is ‘veterans.com’. Exciting time for you guys with Cheltenham. Though I expect you get gnuff excitement from your tennis wins, alone, what with hiding behind the settee from time to time !

    Graham will be like a toddler looking forward to Christmas morning with Cheltenham upon y’all !

    The Players Championship

    Bryson DeChambeau 22/1 (35/1 1st round leader market)

    Personally I’d have DeChambeau as Favourite for this. He’s had 5 top 5s
    in his last 7. That’s world class by anyone’s reckoning. I don’t think
    I need say much more, except I think he wins this.

    Sungjae Im 28/1 (33/1 1st round leader market)

    This is the 3rd time in a row I’ve put him up, but how could you leave him out?
    21 years old and leader in the Fedex Cup rankings, that about says it all. He
    so deserved his win in the Honda Classic and he might have been excused if he
    had “bounced”, but he was right in there until he just fell short in the Arnold
    Palmer last week. I think he’s got the bit between his teeth and got the taste of
    success now. He also has a great pair of hands and I think there could be a Major
    in him, so I’m not chancing missing him and I’ve nabbed the 50/1 for the Masters
    and the 66s for The US Open (both at Skybet).

    Patrick Reed 33/1 (50/1 1st round leader market)

    He’s another one that’s bang in form with 6 top 10s in his last 9. A winner
    at the WGC Mexico 2 starts back and even though he had a horror story 80 !!
    in the 3rd round he still managed to finish T15 last week at the Arnold
    Palmer. A par 3rd round would have put him in a play-off. He’s had 2 top
    25s in 6 starts here, which isn’t exactly inspiring, but I doubt he’s ever
    gone into this in the form he’s in now.

    Viktor Hovland 125/1 (90/1 1st round leader market)

    He’s a decent young player, although he hasn’t quite mastered consistancy yet.
    Only 1 top 30 this year, although that was a win in Puerto Rico so I can’t be
    too hard on him, and he did have a T6 in December at the QBE Shootout. It probably
    will be a feast or a famine from him this week, but at 125/1 I’m not risking that
    his appetite is up for this.

    Only the 1 tournament this week, and I was going to leave it at that, but I just
    clocked my old pal
    Cameron Smith at a slightly insulting 160/1. (125/1 1st round leader market)
    He has bags of class, the problem is you don’t know when he turns up with it. It’s
    only 2 months since he won the Sony Open, but he’s missed cuts since then too. When
    he’s on song he can score really low rounds, so even if he doesn’t win he’s well worth
    chancing the 1st round at 125/1.

    That’s the golf stuff out the way now Darren, it’s just you and me this week mate, Raymo
    was last seen clambering over the wall and heading to Cheltenham :unsure: I’ll not be
    far behind him at the end of the week, I’ll be there on Gold cup day again. It’s been a
    good month for me golf and horses, so I’m ready for it. Good luck this week guys, and
    best of luck Darren at Indian Wells, I can sense a big win coming for you there :good:

    You couldn’t have put that any better Grimes, a kid at Christmas is exactly how
    I feel, I’m just glad that I still get that. I remember when my kids were wee, it
    was murder getting them down to sleep. I used to have to wait till about 2 or 3am
    to sneak into their room commando style, flat on the ground using my elbows to edge
    forward and stick prezzies under their beds. Got into bed exhausted, only to be woken
    at 6am and have to pretend I was full of the joys. Knackered as I was those were special
    times, so the years have rolled on, but I’m still up for special times and Cheltenham
    gets my old ticker going every time. Best of luck mate, even without a bet at Cheltenham
    I’m sure the hairs on the back of your neck will still stand up when they raise the tapes
    in the 1st race and that roar goes up :yahoo:

    Sorry. The web address for that maverick news site should have read, not ‘veterans.com’, but

    ‘veteranstoday.com’ !!!!

    Take it easy with that ticker, Graham, when that roar goes up ! tee hee. Do you lads ever meet up at the races ? I can imagine some banter.

    I would restrain from kicking cats for a couple of days Darren. He is not renowned for being consistent
    Am happy with my guys all under par at the moment
