The Sporting Weekend

The amount of sport operating in a different time band required a sleep adjustment. I went to bed early on Saturday and was awake at 1.00am for the NFL play-off game between Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens with one eye on the Sony Open at Hawaii. I was still in the land of the conscious at [...]

My sporting & betting weekend (if only)

The US PGA began at its western most state Hawaii with the Sentry event on the Plantation Course Kapalua Maui. It’s a beautiful setting with the ocean and surfing breakers beyond and attracted a notable field including Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau, Justin Thomas and Patrick Reed. My money [...]

Golfing review of 2020

With only one Major cancelled, The Open at Royal St. George’s, I  must start by congratulating the US PGA and the European Tour in putting on such a full schedule. My golfer of the year was the evergreen Lee Westwood, some 27 years after he started on tour he won the race to Dubai and featured [...]

Sporting weekend

Before I boast of a successful betting weekend I would like to pay tribute to 47 year old Lee Westwood for winning the Road to Dubai. For 2 years Westwood was once  world number one but because he has never won a Major and his name is not Rory McIlroy he has never got the recognition. Remember [...]

Peter Alliss

Before reporting on the weekend golf I must pay my tribute to Peter Alliss. I admire anyone who has two successful careers, most of us cannot manage one, but Peter Alliss was both successful golfer and broadcaster. As a golfer I  would classify him as very good. Not a great though he might have [...]

Leopard Creek

If you asked me to name my favourite golf course it would not be the great American ones like Augusta, Pebble Beach nor Sawgrass, nor the Scottish links St Andrews, Carnoustie, Troon nor Muirfield, nor Royal St. George’s,  nor Birkdale, but Leopard Creek in South Africa. Why? It has something [...]

Final day of the Masters

Dustin Johnson was a worthy wearer of the Green Jacket as he led from start to finish. Conscious that he had spurned the lead after 54 holes on 4 occasions the phlegmatic world number one must have been worried when he could feel the breathe of Cameron Smith and Sunjae Im in the opening 9 yesterday [...]

Third day of the Masters

The curious thing about the 5 co-leaders after Round Two is that they possess only two Majors between them, one each for Dustin Johnson and Justin Thomas. Dustin’s only one Major  (The US open) in a career in which he has won 23 titles on the USPGA and amassed just under $60m is the strangest, [...]

Day two of the Masters

One of the emerging problems of a curtailed day is that you do not know the tourney leader till the middle of the next day. Thus Jon Rahm at -8 might well overhaul the 5 co-leaders as he has 6 more holes to play. There were two hilarious moment for me. The first  came when the always assertive [...]

Masters – first day

No sooner had Gary Player teed off to start the tourney then the heavens opened and we lost 3 hours of play. With an early sunset this meant that not all completed the 18. It is good to see the likeable Paul Casey leading the field at -7 and some of my each way picks – Webb Simpson and [...]
