Hey

I'm new to the forum and I also want to put some money on the golf to make watching it a little more exciting.

Anyone got any tips??

Cheers

There are quite a few gamblers on here so you should get some tips most of which should be avoided though. Be warned!!!!

Was in the bookies a couple of days ago and a chap was being interviewed and his tip was Tom Lewis. 900/1 beforehand so when he was joint top last night I was starting to think I'd missed out on a beauty e/w. Slipped down the leaderboard a bit now.

i agree with you. they should represent where they are from and not be lumped into a group just because it makes the english feel better.

i never understood why there's an english national team for the world cup, but in olympics its all grouped into britain.

Derry - that's bollocks mate. He's a jock whether he loses in the first round, or loses in the semi - no difference

Yankee - Because of the formation of FIFA, and the IOC. The home countries in FIFA have the voting power of 4, and their own Associations. If there was a british team in the world cup, there would have to be a british team all the time.
