Haven't placed a wager in, fok I don't remember when but I am playing a couple individual matches starting tomorrow.

Peter Hansen -120 over Paul Lawrie
Jason Dufner -130 over Ricky Fowler

Hope to find a couple dogs for the 2nd round. I really wanted to fade Bubba in the first round but chickened out.
 
They said the speed of the greens will be a factor. Typical green speeds on tour range between 11.5 and 12.5 with some dried out conditions at certain course sometimes reaching 13. However the greens this week have stemp'd out around 9-9.5 which makes for some very slow greens.

While the greens are slow and the fairways will be lush and most likely very wet the rough will be absolutely brutal. If Tiger has control of that stinger shot and bags his driver he could be a factor. He won't get optimum roll due to the wet conditions but in the fairway is crucial.

I would like to see Tiger in contention but more than anything I just want something that matters on Sunday.
 
jajaja...20minutes of coverage and tiger has 15 of it to himself...because i know he is the best and grinds harder than anyone out there, i want him to win every time he tees it up, but i sure as shit see why people hate him too :yup:

Aren't you quite the expert 4 hours into the event!

Come on Ray there has been non-stop Live From coverage all week on The Golf Channel and all they have talked about is how bad the weather was going to be throughout the Open.

RayRay, Mother Nature is fok'n me here.
 
no, not an expert at anything, but i do know when guys tee off and the conditions expected....

i was being slightly sarcastic with my "common" there, wal... but if you dont know when guys are teeing off, or simply dont care, then you need to start studying this shit a little better... for future reference, it is very odd for conditions to get Better as the day goes on... you dont like a guys chances of playing well, bet against him when he is expected to play in the worst conditions ... just sayin, there are some guys its better to fade when they play late... gl this week... i dont even bother playing much besides some guys to win... :cheers:
 
I knew you were being sarcastic as was I Ray.

I still put too much emphasis on the weather playing a role against Bubba even with the early tee time. Losing any or all of these won't hurt monetarily but losing more than 2 of them will have me thinking I might be a bigger loser than a RubberBand play.

For a multi-millionaire, his demeanor on the golf course is borderline childish.
