Does anyone know the formula that they use? I am sure its recent and course form, are there any other factors?

I would think fatigue, injury, hometown, weather, equipment changes, stuff like that figure in also.

I believe it's not so much science, but feel, that the oddsmaker uses day to day. I hope anyway. Makes me think I have a chance at winning.

Read the betfair golf forum, it's interesting, in that the posters are the oddsmakers too. They get it done, but are a goofy bunch.
