Longest Drive Competition

chipaholic — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 14:08:05 GMT

Did anyone see the longest drive competition yesterday evening on Eurosport between Europe and USA? I didn't catch the end of the event and wondered who won? And why were the drives measured in metres? I thought golf always worked on yards!?!?!?

Faldo to blame for European defeat

His cocky attitude wound up the USA to play better golf. He should have picked Monty, everyone knows that and leaking his pairings by allowing his pairings to be photographed was purely insane.

Lets hope we don't see any more of the man in the golfing arena. He is not a team man.

Pick your two wild cards for Monty

Looks like his 2 wildcards are going to be from the follwing 4 players.

Darren Clarke, Paul Casey Ian Poulter and Colin Montgomerie.

I think he'll pick Darren Clarke and Ian Poulter.

Would like him to pick Monty though

Luke Donald out for the rest of the season

Injured wrist meaning he's out of the Ryder Cup and the rest of the season.

USPGA

If you are thinking of having an 'early bet' on the USPGA be careful as some bookmakers have strict rules if a selection does not tkae part in the event. One UK firm are offereing very good odds on a few selections however their T's + C's state that if the selection does not take part the bet stands. If you are looking at arbing on these selections, DON'T, it's not worth the risk.

Strangest golf shot

This is the weirdest hole in one I've ever seen.

Biggest winning margins in a major

Who holds the record for the biggest winning margin in a golf Major? Does Tiger hold the record?

Price of hole in one in a major?

chelsea4me — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 19:58:14 GMT

What is the average price for a hole in one to be hit in a major tounament? Is it worth having a bet on?

Hole in one - Skill or Luck?

Discuss..

Luck for me, there is no way that you can aim for the hole itself. Players just try to get as close as they can to the hole and a hole in one is a freak bonus.

Longest course in the world

lfcforever — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 17:29:59 GMT

Anyone know what and where it is? My best mate is a single handicap golfer and a big hitter and asked me if I knew.

No Tiger Woods, previous form going to the Europeans and a few Europeans doing well at the Open. Probably worth a little dabble on the Europeans here.

KJ Choi

Made a quadruple bogey on the last at the British Open to end up out of the top 10. Was +9 coming to the last with 10th place at +12. Some probably lost a lot of money on that! He was 10.0 to finish in the top 10.
