The greed of the Super Golf League

The Saudi-backed Super Golf League of 40-odd professionals contesting 18 events bears more than a superficial resemblance to football’s European Super League. Of course golf clubs are in the bag not sporting superpowers but nonetheless some of the proposed participators have had their success in [...]

The Masters

In the end it was neither Supermex (Justin Thomas or Jordan Spieth) nor Shepherds Pie (Justin Rose ) for the Masters winner dinner but Sushi and Wagyu beef as Hideki Matsuyama became the first Japanese golfer to wear the green jacket. He did so by one stroke from Will Zalatoris but, having set up [...]

Masters Preview

I have a feeling that Dustin Johnson will not be re-ordering Pigs in the Blanket (whatever they are) for the traditional Green Jacket winner meal but the cuisine will either be Texmex (Justin Thomas or Jordan Spieth) of Paella con Gambas (Jon Rahm) The Masters seemed to come round very quickly till [...]

The ATT at Pebble Beach

Alan Tanner rightly takes centre stage of the Rust today after Fulham ‘s victory over Everton but give some credit to Pargie who had wagers on Maverick McNealy, Jordan Spieth and Patrick Cantlay at the ATT at Pebble Beach.

Sporting weekend

I delayed my post to report on the Super Bowl Tampa Bay victory in the early hours of Monday. To both my surprise and loss though no expert on American football, Tom Brady won his seventh Superbowl ring aged 43 for the Tampa Bay Buccs.

My sporting weekend

Although it was not the most successful weekend for me betting-wise a number of selection issues were helpfully clarified for European Ryder Cup captain Podraig Harrington. Unlike his American counterpart Steve Stricker who has six, Harrington has only 3 captain’s picks. Two of these potentially [...]

Not only did I watch a variety of exciting sport this weekend but had results in both golf tourneys. The European Tour is up and running with the Gulf swing at Abu Dhabi. The Racing Post new golf analyst Joe Champion recommended Cabrera Bello. A surprising choice in view of recent form but the [...]
