  1. PGA pairs in New Orleans this week where course form is essential. 

    PGA USA: Horschel/Alexander (35) who played together  at State University. Alexander has won a few tournaments on the Korn Ferry Tour in the past,so is no mug.

    Canadian mates Taylar/Hadwin  have form here and at 45/1 are good value. 

    DP Tour Japan is already underway, where we have gone with stable runners  Soderberg  Syme Gurrier Ko Nakajima  Paul Onishi

    Challenge Tour: A 1pt spend covering  10 regular stable runners

    Korn Ferry Tour: A 1pt spend covering 2x form players on tour and 8 Texan based/ Texan State University players which has been very fruitful the last couple of weeks.

    Good luck

  2. Thanks for the information Barry and Hesi. I will turn my attention to researching this Penfold character and report back after I inspect the back of my eyelids for a few hours.

    Fair comment, and it suggests that they have culpability as well.

    Strathayr grow turf in a very controlled environment.  Trying to repeat that outside of that environment, on a racecourse has a number of risks to it

    The question is though Hesi, is it the turf that is the issue or what lays below?

  4. Like I said earlier  in this thread, I'm sure they changed something in the layers below from the tried and tested. Whether that was changed by the ATR or the contractors for costing reason I do not know. I don't  have a beef with PW but his eyes are too close together for my liking.Reminds of that sidekick  Penfold🤓, wasn't he a gerbil or rat or something?

  5. Two tournaments on the PGA Tour this week, all pretty good  value. 

    Corales Puntacana Championship 

    Hojgaard - Rai - S H Kim - Martin -Yu.

    RBC Heritage:

    Pavon - Svensson- Davis- Staka- Fitzpatrick- T Kim. 

    Off Plan: Like last week we will take a few Florida locals/ University State players on the Korn Ferry Tour and stable runners on the Challenge Tour. Just in case The Scheff wants to win the $20m Heritage we will cover a few doubles with him.

  6. A 7pt  on plan loss last week tells me The Scheff needs to steady  the ship this week. Off plan the  scattergun  approach worked a treat with former Georgia State University player Steven Fisk winning the Korn Ferry Tournament at good odds to return a £1380 profit which helped soften the on plan disaster.

  7. Just lost my write up on the first M Major of the year when I pushed send for some reason 🙄. Here is the watered down version. 

     Scheffler at a tasty 11/1 🤑ante poste price now into 5-9/2 Augusta form reads 19-18-1-10. Tee to green is key here and with finding a putter that works of late, I'm brewing with confidence he can make it two green jackets.

    Supporting Scheffler is...

    Theegala 45  a 9th on debut here and recent good form puts him right in contention. 

    De Chambeau 35 a different  player coming into this.

    Matsuyama 22 slight injury cloud still hangs over him, but course form convinced me he is a contender.

    Ew-T10-T20 value comes in the form of Harmen-SW Kim-S Im- Straka.

    Im T20 3.70 looks the value.

    Justin Thomas to miss the cut could be a solid play in the first two rounds considering he missed the cut last year and has parted with his caddie in the last 7 days.

    I have £1  Majors accas aplenty running and need four selections plus Smith and Mcllroy too kick start us. Here is an example  of what you can get for your £/$

    Scheffler (Augusta ) Mcllroy (US PGA) Johnson (US Open) Schauffele (The Open) = just over 120k/1

    Good Luck

    Spieth in top 10 ? Not as consistent  these days.

    He does love Augusta Foxy! I have left him out on two factors, which Speith turns up to the party and the short odds which in your case T10 3/1 is unders imo. Harmen or Theegala @ around 11/2 T10 hold more value or Im @ 3.7 T20 looks value. But what would I know my form onplan  has been poor.

  9. I thought I had read somewhere (possibly on RP)a while back, that they changed  the construction or materials under the top layer for some reason. Was that because of the overall price of the project? Surely the Ellerslie committee and hierarchy had the final say. I'm not surprised there has been no comment from Wilcox, as he would not want to fall on his own sword.

    Chris Wood was going to talk to him about it today. Maybe give Chris a ring to see what he found out.

    He is  too  busy scoring goals for Nottingham Forest

    PJ has set us an impossible  task at the punters graveyard and a very wet Randwick. Seems like a Reapers paradise, but I'm hoping for a day of Kaos.

    All the best Porky

    Cheers PJ

  12. Two regular stable runners Jaeger and Nakajima won over the weekend.Alas! Not in the plan last week, Nakajami was one of the ones last  off the list.I think he's a good player who could hit the PGA running  if he secures one of the ten cards on offer at the end of the DP Tour season.Players generally poor last week for a 6.5pt loss. But we have had a wee freshen up and are attacking again this week leading  into The Masters next, where we have secured some ante poste value many moon's ago.

    On plan we are attacking the PGA and Luv tournaments. Off plan the Korn Ferry Tour cones into play with numerous big ticket runners.

    PGA: Valspar Open Texas

    Canadian Cory Conners heads the plan this week. Conners loves this course and has been in solid form this year at 25/1. He will be supported by...

    Aberg 14   K H Lee 80  Riley 80  Noren 35.    Roughies Yu 150   Phillips 200  soft spot for Murray 280 one of my biggest winners last season.

    LIV Golf: A very long 7700+ yard course, which two players with their length can tame.

    Johnson 16  De Chambeau 10

    Off plan we are throwing some small  stuff on no fewer than 12 value  starters on the nose, including two players dropping back from the  PGA in Kizzire 80(Georgia based) Albertsons 250 and Newby Mason Williams 200 who qualified on Monday for a start with a blistering 63.

    Good Luck!

  13. Scraped a 1pt profit last week.

    PGA Tour: Theegala 20  Hughes 55  Dahmen 80  Mitchell 40   Big roughies  that could be T20 contenders Hoey 250  Trainer 250  Xiong 400.

    DP Tour: Schwab 70  Sharma 28  Paul 22  Shinkwin 70  Van Driel 80  Ravatto 90. Interesting runner is the Kiwi Kobori.

    Off plan some doubles with Scheffler.

    On the LPGA we will throw a couple of coins on three ex Arizona State Uni players in Grant  Ciganda and A Nordvist, who feel at home on this course. 

    Good Luck

  14. Off plan overnight, we went with ...

    LPGA: Hannah Green ew @40/1 and great value 5/1 T10 finish.

    Challenge Tour: Stable regulars Sciot-Siegrist 50   Pulkkanen 30 and roughie Etchenique 200

  15. First tees in Singapore not far from launching! We are hoping our luck holds this week after last weeks 9 pt profit.More stable favs holding good value this week. 

    DP Tour Singapore:Nakagima 45  McKibbin 22  Del Rey 55  Soderberg 35 Mansell 33  last off the list Forrest.   Big value Ravetto 100  Penge 175

    PGA Valspar Florida: Taylor 35  Im 28  Hadwin 45  Straka 50

    Three roughies to consider McNealy +Schenk both have course form. Fox has had a few issues but at 110/1 this course could allow him to open the shoulders.

    As the golf aficionado, do you think we have a budding golfer (3 year old granddaughter) lol

    One winner today (R5 #12 SINE NOMINE $18.5)

    Over the four days, 17 selections ran, 1 winner at 18.5.

    Nice price with that winner  Mardi, I think he started at around 8/1.

    Absurde was the big winner for me today.

    My three big winners for the carnival were Slade Steel (antepost) Protectorate and Absurde.
