Irufushi Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 Looks like a fairly steady wind is forecast for all four days, Friday looking the worst with a fair amount of rain on the way. Can't wait, week off work too, bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaning towards Oosthuizen as my main bet however I've chucked a whopping ?5 (total) on the following: Manassero - 176/1 Lawrie - 401/1 Jimenez - 401/1 Gay - 751/1 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kila Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Jason Day will be up there. He plays some beautiful golf, and I think he'll cope with a true links test. Not sure about Rory. I feel he was too harsh with his comments about Castle Stuart not being challenging enough (600 yard par 5 into a gusting wind? Come on!). Plus the whole helicopter to and from the course each day, he's a bit over the top lately. Will be interesting to see how Willet's game fairs now he's a major winner in Open conditions. I really love links golf. The wind, the fast terrain, the beautiful setting. I've booked Thurs and Fri off work, plan to watch it on the telly one day and take a trip to Troon the other. Cannae wait!

Irufushi Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 Sky's Open channel is tremendous. Remember last year when the BBC put on antiques roadshow? It's magic eh? Brilliant coverage. Loving the players in the wee range bit, brandon grace hitting his driver about 15 feet off the ground yesterday said it'll only carry 250 yards but on links courses it'll run another 50yards.

Maroon Sailor Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Great point. It is brilliant and I can't wait to plonk my arse in front of the TV for four days. Last year BBC was shambolic but they knew they had lost the contract but that was a piss poor excuse. I said in last year's The Open thread that they had wrapped their tits in - was the worse coverage of this great tournament I had ever seen. Pleased SKY snatched it a year earlier than scheduled and put the BBC out of their misery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victorian Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I fancy Shane Lowry to do well. Not sure which market I'll back him in ( outright, top euro, top GB&I, maybe top10 finish ). I'll maybe have a small bet in the full list and a bigger one as top GB&I player. Oosthuizen as another bet. Richie Ramsey is an outrageous 250/1. 10/1 for a top 20 finish. 4/1 as top Scottish. 6/5 just to make the cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunblestjambo Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Every major I hope it's Sergio time. Every major he seems to get in the mix and just when he gets near he screws up. I dread to think how much I've squandered over the years on a 'cheeky wee extra fiver on Sergio to win a major'. More out of hope than anything else. Would love to see him win one but just can't see it. Almost time to deposit myself on the sofa for 96 hours (apart from a wee detour to the diggers tmrw for the hearts game).

Victorian Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Right here's mine. Couldn't decide how to spend the token bet I'm prepared to waste. I'm doing this as an interest bet really.
