Now the facts you need are
1.Good Bunker player (the course has 1400)
2.Good Wind Player (it apparently can blow quite a bit,its near Lake Michigan
3. I dont think any of the above will win
so look for value,I reckon take lots of small bets at double and triple figure odds
4. Or be like sportznutz and take the top two or three for the top 5(he does well at it,better than his netball bets.
5. Good luck you will need a lot of it
Cheers

My mathematics works out at 77 bunkers on each hole.
Now the course is either built on a beach or in the middle of the desert.
Which is it Rabbitz?

:lol: I'll never live that down. Seriously, it's not a bad way to go with the Golf. Like that racing theory "Pick 'em to win, back 'em to place". I've had quite a bit of success backing players like Els and Mickelson to finish in the top 5 at the majors. The only time I've consistently bet for a win on the Golf was a couple of years ago when Tiger Woods was practically unbeatable. He was only $2.50-$3.50 in the betting but that was still a good bet.

I read that they need 170,000 tonnes of sand to fill all the bunkers,can you check that sportznut ,it was on that numbers page in yesterdays courier mail,ive chucked mine out
cheers

Sorry, I don't have that, but I'll see if I can check out the info for you.

i think tiger might finally break through his losing (or should i say "not winning") streak with the majors.
Other than that...watch maybe DiMarco or K.J.Choi at the odds, or maybe singh, scott or harrington a bit shorter

Here you go Rabz, you can look hole by hole. Click on the link for 'Straits Course'.

And you're right. By the looks of it, you'll have to be a GREAT wind player and a GREAT bunker player.

P.s. Wind is not going to blow too much they reckon

tiger woods, very strong to hit the ball low, and great touch around ther greens, also a good long bunker shot player..........

i still wouldent put money on him but hes got a great chance (spose thats why he is favourite)

After looking at the course on TV, that could be about right!!!
