Grand Slam of Golf

?There?s a little bit of unfinished business after last year,? said Harrington. ?When you?re a shot ahead playing the last and you?re within 12 feet for an eagle you expect to win. All credit to Angel last year, but I felt there was something to come back for ? I want to go one better this year.

?I?m going to be trying very hard to win. It?s a good event and there is a relaxed atmosphere about it and I want to win. The Mid Ocean Club course is tricky in places ? you can rack up a number out there. But there?s also plenty of opportunities for birdies.

?It?s an exciting course with lots of challenges which makes it very interesting. It is tougher if the wind blows but that?s great for me. I?m comfortable in the wind so I?d say it?ll be to my advantage if the wind blows.?

Paddy +235 to win.

Immelman, 28, admits his competitive edge will be slightly neutered during the annual off-season extravaganza and is viewing the trip as more of a family vacation than a meaningful golf contest.

"Pretty much my whole family will be coming over to Bermuda for the Grand Slam," he said. "Obviously in any tournament you play you want to win but I will be viewing it as a vacation as well.

"We've all been playing so hard and now the PGA Tour and FedEx Cup is wrapped up this is our downtime.

"I'm looking to recuperate, spend some time with my family and enjoy some golf. I've never been to Bermuda before so I'm going to stay for a few extra days."

Padraig -145 over Immelman

I will say Paddy has cost me a ton of money this year.. Kind of like Pat Perez last year.

Damn I had no idea it was delayed. Wish you wouldn't have told me. G Luck :mj06:

You can watch the coverage online live though.

And for the unemployed that is golden :0corn

Course is short at 6598.. real short. I guess being a par 34 on the front will do that. Anyway, nothing like golf on tuesday.

on pga.com, it lists tournament start time at 10 am eastern, and tv coverage on TNT doesnt come on until 4 pm eastern ... could have used some live coverage during the day

Found this and I thought it to be interesting

Got an e-mail today announcing the field for the ADT Golf Skills Challenge. I scrolled down, wondering who might be representing the LPGA this year. Turns out there are no women. It?s PGA Tour players and their caddies. Didn?t see that one coming.

Here?s the lineup: Peter Jacobsen/Mike ?Fluff? Cowan, Fred Couples/Joe LaCava, Greg Norman/Greg Norman Jr. and Rocco Mediate/Matthew Achatz.

Total prize money for the event is $820,000. No bag toting required.

It's a shame all bets or at least more bets aren't as easy as this one. :grouphug:
