Looking OK for some place money last week, but the boys in Hawaii faded of the final round with English  the closest missing by one stroke. Paul a place getter in Dubai,so we kick off 2024 with a 5pt loss.

Dubai Classic: Meronk  Olesen  Hojgaard N  Paul  Migliozzi. Roughie Hildago @500

USA: Im   Kim S W  Kirk  Thompson   Pavon

Lydia Ko on a roll. Her swing coach has her driving superbly off the tee. Her short game has always been impeccable. Phenomenal save today for par after fluffing her chip shot, on a par 4 . I can see her getting into the hall of Fame eventually, have always followed her career.

Yes finding a nice rhythm at the start of the season Globe. Off plan, picked up a nice little double with her and Steve Alker  last week. This week Ko with the Hojgaard brothers.

On plan things have started quite nicely this week with two rounds to go. 🤞Jaeger @70/1 can keep going!

A frustrating result  last week with two selections from the week before both winning, and rubbing salt into the wound further by being last off my list. But all was not lost as we secured four solid placings for a tidy 10.5 pt profit.

This week thePGA heads to Peeble Beach, DP Tour moves up to Bahrain and the Korn Ferry Tour is in Panama.The Challenge Tour starts up this week also but nothing fancied  while playing in SA. A heavy investment  over  three tournaments. 

Bahrain: Nakajima  Hojgaard  Rozner  Luiten  Kieffer.  Roughie Hildago

Peeble Beach: Homa  Fitzpatrick  Kitayama Straka Taylor.  Roughie Murray Pavon

Korn Ferry Tour: Potgieter Kodaira Widing. Roughies Nyholm  HJ Woo.

A little trouble logging on last night, but we are on now! 

3 players in with a winning  chance last week, but none of them could go on with it in the final round, so we finished with a 1.5pt profit.

A couple of tournaments  underway very  early this morning, but we have secured some nice early prices on some  regular stable  runners and one new player in Malaysia. 

PGA: Californian players or players who enjoy Pacsic coastal courses got the nod,all at good ew value. 

Morikawa  Clark  S W Kim  Taylor  Roughies Kitayama and Yu

Malaysia: Green   Kyong -J M

LET: Buhai  Ayaka

Challenge Tour: Scot- Siegrist   Kristensen  Enoch

Nearly  all of last weeks selections fell out of the gates and never really recovered.One small place return was all we could muster for a 7pt loss.

This week we are loading the bases in Kenya with....

Cockrill  Svensson   Syme  Hoshino  Kawamura  Wu  Tarriol.

PGA Mexico: Hojgaard  Hughes  Jaeger  Van Rooyen. 

Really interesting to see how Fox goes as he is desperate for points, so he can get more invites on the PGA. He needs the putter to warm up this weekend!

LPGA roughie Shibuno @200/1

Hey Midnight it's Golf. You can lip 4 putts a round and miss the Cut as you well know.... I'm going the tall Danish  pisshead Jeff Winther, huge in France but his wife's 40th derailed his campaign.

Welcome aboard GW! It has been a while since Winther has been on my radar, i thought 70/1 with no real SA form was a bit short for him,good luck !

Tuesday  was the first time (ever)I have checked the NZ Tab golf prices, with a $2m purse for on offer the TAB should be leading the way with the prices  drawing all the money in from punters far and wide. Sadly  they have missed a trick here, who is going to back Hillier with them when they opened him @ $10?(a joke)Pretty much every other player I quickly scanned over was unders compared to other books.They could have made a killing on this tournament if they had dropped some crumbs and pushed everyone  out a point or two.Young Kobori looks a solid chance on form.

Off plan I have taken Hiller @25/1, yes Tab, hello McFly!

Don't know anything about the Korean contingent, but could be dangerous. 

The Japanese tour is quite strong so have thrown some coins with value runners showing some form...

Kinoshita 55  Sugiura 66  Yonezawa 90  Akutsu 125  Ichihara 200

PGA and DP Tour selections to follow, but we are pretty much sticking with stable runners.

Loads of tournaments  to get our teeth into this week. On plan we are concentrating  on just two tournaments.

PGA Tour: Teeing up in Palm Beach Florida, where local residents and course form are key in my eyes.

Svensson  Staka  Cole  Jaeger  Pavon         Those looking for a good value  roughies Coody 500/1 and C T Pan 160

DP Tour: South Africa  is the destination  this week and the tournament could well go to a local in J T Schaper supported by McKibbin  Syme Ferguson   Baldwin 

Roughie players should get a good run for their money with Arnaus 150 course form, Revetto 90 Challenge Tour  winner two starts back, Ko 125 up from the Challenge Tour this season and playing well.

Off plan I'm going with...

Potgieter 28 on the Korn Ferry Tour 

Minjee Lee 15 LPGA

Some various small multis will be played with players above and Liv players Kopeka and Johnson both course specialists.

Muilti example Svensson- McKibbin- Koepka = 9900/1

Holy moly 

Anthony Kim is back after 12 years in the wilderness AK has joined LIV Golf

Apparently AK took out an insurance policy on himself for (not exactly sure) around 12 million he suffered a career ending Achilles injury if he ever returned to golf the policy became null and void, obviously LIV gave him an offer he couldn’t refuse, the once immensely talented party boy is back, money speaks all languages just ask the T20 lads😁 although T20 money would be regarded as pocket money you’d give your kid in comparison with a LIV contract

Lets get Daniel Hillier home in Queenstown with Josh Geary close up 😃Hatton looks interesting Midnight, on the DT always have plenty of respect for the tall Dane and only his wife's 40th derailed the program at Dubais latest. Aiken been playing well and the most consistent Mr Mijares.   Ryan Fox and the disappointing but suited Alex Bjork the bolter in the Honda, Doug Ghimm looking good. Cant wait

Back indoors after a busy few shifts!

A couple of selections have teed off already in SA,but most have late tees.

DP Tour: Staying with stable runners holding good value and adding a new South African...

Syme  Saddier  Jarvis  Revetto   Bachem  Bradbury  Germmishays  roughie stable regular Ko

PGA : Aberg Kitayama 

PGA Puerto Rico: Big hitters off the tee required  B Wu  Echavarria  Gotterup. 

Last two results  have seen us sneak profits of +3pts and +2.5pts.

On plan last week we had a few in contention but most fell over on the final round for a 6pt loss.

USA: Sheffler has finally found his putter at the right time with The Masters just around the corner. 

Sheffler 11/2  M W Lee 50/1   S W Kim 50/1  Homa 28/1     Roughie Murray 400/1

Challenge Tour: Two stable regulars... Pulkkanen   Sciot-Siegrist and a new comer to the tour Stirn who is living g the dream with his father on the bag.

A natural looking grip and solid swing! Makes me think ambitious grandparents will be signing up this future  star for  lessons very soon😁

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.
