Was -$20 on interactives for week.If given opportunity could have bailed out on Sluman early for small gain.

If you'd ask me yesterday I'd say no way of coming out of this week on (-) side but not the case.Total collapse of 72 hole match leaders and some most improbable 1 shot losses and pushes (6 total)has left me reeling.Hopefully there will be better bounces in store for The Open.

Certainly was a tough week.

My matchups went 0-3 and it was a very disappointing effort from Sluman who was leading going into the final round.

Fortunately I did back a couple of Stans matchups (Magee-Tataurangi and Doyle-Gilder) to keep any losses minimal.

Bring on the British Open !!!!

Final update: 3-2-1 and +0.15 units for the day; 14-9-1 and +3.62 units for the week

Break-even last day, but still a decent week on the matchups. The results: Dawson/Spence 2 down; Geiberger/Haas all square; Gump/Zoeller 1 up; Hoch/Herron 1 down; Hoch/Stricker 1 up; Kaye/Ogilvie 3 up. In the 72-hole plays, only Chris Perry recording the 2nd worst round of the day prevented the sweep. They finished: K.Perry/Kelly 7 up; K.Perry/Smith 6 up; K.Perry/Stricker 2 up; C.Perry/Damron 2 down; Tway/Smith 5 up. Good week spoilt by heartache on the outrights.

Update on outright plays: 1-2 and -2.08 units

Geez! The leader after 36 holes ... 1st and 2nd after 54 holes ... and I finish with just a share of 5th place with four others

Very disappointing. Kenny Perry got the share of 5th place to return a fraction less than the original stake, Sluman slumped to 10th and Lickliter finished 28th. A small profit overall on the event, but what might have been

On a different note, I am no longer going to be making 18-hole plays. It is not that they have been unsuccessful, they have always recorded a decent profit, but that there are only 168 hours in a week and golf capping takes up too many of them, especially at weekends, i.e. family time.

Everything else will be as normal, including my site, and hopefully there'll be enough winners to keep all parties happy. So it's over to you DTB for these plays

Stan I have always wondered how you have found the time to do all you do in golf.Spending 10 to 15 hours a week myself I know yours has to be double that with running your site and contest in addition to capping 4 tours instead of mainly one.I am still expecting a gem here and there from time to time

and we now have several quality folks here that hopefully will pick up the pace on 18 holers.

Was it you DTB that said Perry was a tad allergic to winning?

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

AV Don't think its a matter of being afraid to win but simply hard for him to putt,not great just decent,for 4 rounds.I frankly can not get a handle on him. Did not have wager involving him this week going 1 for 5 to date this year on him with wagers 2 on and 3 opposing.Living near him I usually have latest scoop and all of it has backfired to date.If he goes in injured he plays great,changes putters and is rolling it good at home,gets to tourny and can't make one.
Maybe he needs to check out "The Claw"

 

[AussieVamp2]

lol

thanks

a weird one - but maybe as you said, couple of very good rounds then back to average?
