Betting On Golf: As It Should Be!

No greater joy at the Open than betting on the field. I must say I was a bit disappointed visiting Ladbrokes today and they weren't ready to share some of their exotics, nonetheless I got Tiger at 5-1, Westwood at 5-1 and Casey at 8-1. Most of my early week bets are not looking good, but I do have Kaymer and Van Pelt lurking and possible "each way" winners, so let's get in the top 5 boys!

Incidentally Van Pelt stopped in Ladbrokes the other night supporting his betting friends but could not have been too thrilled when the place was populated by an army of golf writers who were thrilled to be putting down a few pounds (and yes, it's a much different experience than logging into a phone app where you have an account...that's just not the same experience!).
