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.

when andy murray is doing well, hes british, and when he losses hes a jock. same story here, when our boys who just happen to come from within the six counties win, their bristish. sod that, if your born in any of the 32 counties your irish. ask wossnam is he welsh or british, asky monty, is he british or a scot. mcdowell, mcillroy and clarke, have to remain neutral, as not to alienate one side of the religous devide here in the north. golf in ireland is a 32 county thing, like the cricket, rugby, (gaa, obviously) boxing and hockey. hail the 4 irish major champs.

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.
