Literally. Every year golf goes back to it’s motherland for a stop along the tour. Not just any stop but a major. Which I’m sure we all know. The opportunities to win some serious money and a major fuels these golfers to give it their all.
Since I’m on the topic of winning, I recently came across something interesting for any of you that like to bet on golf. Now we all know it’s the return of the Open Championship and mybettingsites.co.uk have put together a list of promotions from betting sites. It never ceases to amaze me what people can gamble on. For instance, betting that an Englishman will not win the British Open.
After watching a bit of it yesterday, it was quite entertaining! I couldn’t stop laughing when Charl Schwartzel threw his club and broke it. Not for nothing, he was hitting out of some serious caliche, but come on man, there’s no reason to throw a club when you’re a professional. I guess emotions fly high during times like this. I wouldn’t know for sure, the only thing I know about majors is what I took up in college for 8 years. It was actually 6 with a break in between…hey at least I finished.
I might watch more today. The course looked great yesterday and I’m looking forward to seeing what’s in store today. Now, if I just could figure out who’s going to win…
Hit’em long…yell FORE!!!
Wide open, as in “The course is wide open today.” I’m sure most golfers are always on the look out for the best time to play. Unfortunately, there are some that can only play once in a while and it’s during peak hours. But, if you are like me, I search for optimal times (and deals) and note them for future use. For example, yesterday, we squeezed in a quick nine between hot dogs, beers and fireworks. Before heading out we called to see if they were open and they were. We proceeded to ask “Are you busy today?” Their reply, just as the title hints, “We are wide open today. Only 2 groups out there.”
