Reno-Tahoe Open

[Apollo Kid]

Many things are telling me to use my time to start football work, a sport I am much better at than golf. Owen's 80, Retief missing a place finish by a stroke, and losing the scoring prop by a stroke last week are all good indicators that things just aren't going my way. But I had already started work for this tournament about two weeks ago. Many of the players I wanted are priced way too low, but here is one that was on the original short list. For those don't know, I haven't cashed a posted outright this year (I've only posted them off and on for about two months), and have cashed exactly one Top 10 ticket. That's my disclaimer.

Outright 1/4 1-2-3-4-5
Roland Thatcher 100-1 e.w. @ Sportingbet
--Up until the International, Thatcher had put together his most consistent streak of tournaments on the Tour with three 20-something finishes. Now he returns to the place where he missed the playoff by one stroke last year, so he has to have some confidence that he can go low on this course. I'll take a shot at 100-1.

(Sportingbet is paying 1/4 for place finishes this week in this event.)

- - As I noted in a 7/7/05 post for the John Deere Classic: "I've done well this season in my capping at sensing which events I feel in tune with and which events are lacking illumination." . . . No question that for this week, I feel my sixsome of picks for Reno venture down a speculative but not necessarily a poorly illuminated path vis-a-vis my fivesome for Firestone, in which I sense that more than one of my choices will play their golf and make at least a few decibels of noise that will hold my interest into Sunday vis-a-vis Seattle, where except for Pooley, any plays I make are reaches with an indistinct tracking that mirror similar plays from this season that have all been found wanting well short of the payout window.

Apollo I think you done good job on golf--don't let a few bad beats sway you. Weather got you/us on scor prop as predicted rain never developed and winds jumped up in pm of final rd.
Hang tough my friend.

Already know what your speaking of I think--is it the shot link data??

Wish we had privite messaging here--got a few I'd like to share with our regular crew but not with general population--if you know what I mean.

DTB -- you have mail at your email. I sent you what I found after all was said and done.

I understand what you mean about not posting everything you know.
