Yeah the only disappointment was that I normally do a tenner each way on all their tips but this time I only did a fiver.
Their tips have been excellent. I started with the RBC Heritage in April and put 10 quid ew on most of the tournaments bar last week and two I missed and I'm 1196.50 up. I know nothing about golf tbh so I'd recommend following their tips.

Unfortunately not which is a bit of a surprise in this day and age.
I'm surprised they're managing to compete with the likes of AtTheRaces, The Racing Post and Timeform etc.
It's actually a decent read. Some of the football stats are helpful although you could probably get most online for free.

I've picked up that paper a few times actually Londonparsfan and yeah - it is decent for its stats.
I stopped getting it a wee while though because a lot of the horse racing cards were out of date come the weekend with horses being pulled out or placed in different races.
If the golf tips are good then I'll maybe start getting it again.

Ah cool! I would caveat the above results by saying I was helped by getting of to a flyer at the Heritage which was lucky.
Looking at my Betfair exchange history there was a bad week on the 11 May where I ended up £260 down but that's easily been the worst week so far.
Next worst week was £110 down on the 18 May so it does fluctuate.

Seen some of the practise round that Lee Westwood and Kevin Na filmed from their caddies GoPro cameras and the rough is frightening. 2nd cut and you are lucky to see your ball let alone get any kind of shot at it.
Anyways with that in mind playing it safe with folk who are steady off the tee and find a lot of fairways. Fowler first one to mind but 20/1 seems awful short in my opinion. At the other end of the scale Kaymers' about 90/1 which i think is very generous so will have some of that ditto Paul Casey 60/1 and given how well he did last year in his debut Shane Lowry at 60's.
USGA seem to get a hard on for making the US Open ridiculously difficult and making top players look a bit silly as a result. If you can get a market for the winning score being level par or worse then it could be a good bet IMO.

Cheers TAFKA that's insight I could never come up with!
Off the back of that I've backed Casey at 50/1 with Ladbrokes and layed him on Betfair at 59/1 for £8.51 for the win and the place at 11/1 for £11.31 hoping to hit 6th place for him.

Bad weather predicted hence the reason they have cut the rough down.Some players not happy having practiced with the longer rough. It did originally look pretty brutal though

All 5 of my selections above shot under par in the 1st round and are in the top 29 places.2 currently sitting in a place and both bigger than 150/1.Hopefully at least one can push on and give me a run for my money. Not getting too carried away though have had a habit of doing this recently. Had Charlie Hoffman at 200/1 for the Masters and he blew it.

Good luck with those mate. After giving the RFO big licks only two selections survived the cut.
If Casey comes sixth I'll make a small profit.

It's so easy to run up doubles and triples here that it's going to go down to the wire.
You could have 6 bets now and still not find the winner
I've got Fowler, Garcia and Kuchar batting for me.
