Just read this in Golf Magazine and found it amusing.By the way Ian your last name isn't Davies,is it?
Here it is.Title was
Beating The Odds
"Frustrated by your improvement? If you think you've tried everything in your quest to a lower handicap without much success,maybe your problem is a lack of self motivation.You could do what Ian Davies of England didut your money where your mouth is.
Davies,who had been playing for 15 years,wasn't seeing much of a change in handicap,which hovered at 19 last April.So rather than go to an instructor,the 25 year old consulted a bookie.He bet 200 pounds that he could get his handicap to single digets by years end.British oddsmaker William Hill,who will except nearly any wager,gave him 5 to 1 odds.
The chance for financial gain renewed Davies's incentive to work on his game.The practice paid off-literally.By the end of the year,Davies was down to 8.8 handicap at East Horton Golf Club-and up an extra 1,000 pounds in his bank account."
Now I got a question.Does Will Hill really give odds on something like that.It would appear that there could be a lot of "descrepency's" there if you know what in mean.
