Golf - The Open Championship Tipping League

[tiger76]

Looks like us McIlroy pickers are now playing with 5.....!

I'm just glad i didn't pick him as my nap,it was a toss-up between him and Fleetwood.

[expoultryboy]

Don't think I'll make the cut !

[FCBurnley]

Can I change my nap please !!

[tybfc]

As I wanted to get a league table posted asap tonight this has been a little rushed as normal as the golf didn't finish until after 9.30pm and 42 people entered for me to check their scores.

Please check your own and if there are any mistakes let me know and they can be rectified before tomorrow night's league is done.

It's looking as though the likes of clansman, nighty, flixton and jdrobbo maybe missing the cut.

It’s a marathon not a sprint Ty

It’s a marathon not a sprint Ty

Nick - I know only too well.

At least nobody had David Duval in their choices who had a three hole run today of scoring 8 / 4 / 13 and finished on +20.

He is probably half way back to the U.S. tonight.

[Hibsclaret]

The scary thing is it doesn’t seem that long since he won the Open and it’s actually 18 years.....where has that time gone

[CharlieinNewMexico]

so is it points for who does best on each day or points for who is leading on each day?

[jdrobbo]

After three excellent majors, I’m having a mare!

[tybfc]

so is it points for who does best on each day or points for who is leading on each day?

The latter. It is a cumulative score day on day.

[tybfc]

End of the second round league table below.

This has all the prospects of being mighty close as Woods and McIlroy have departed tonight and the rest of the field is very close.

If I have your score wrong please let me know.

[Texanclaret16]

Current top 10 to help the non golf followers check the scores.

Happy to be top but I don’t think it will last... hope it does though

[tybfc]

I've just noticed that huncoatclaret has reached a hundred.

That will be the first of his cricketing career.

[jdrobbo]

I’m bringing out the seven wood for the weekend!!!

[tybfc]

jdrobbo - I think that you may need seven more players!

[jdrobbo]

True!

I must still be very high up the Order of UTC Merit for the 2019 majors though!

This one isn't finished yet by a country mile. Half time.

Hi ty, question. Are final results after 72 holes or will playoffs be taken into account?
Thanks for running this. It gives me a different slant on who I'm supporting.

[FactualFrank]

Who's top 10 at the moment?

[HuncoatClaret]

I've just noticed that huncoatclaret has reached a hundred.

That will be the first of his cricketing career.

I lost count after 1988 with how many tons I made, but I do remember your gentle bowling going for 100 off 7 overs several times

[tybfc]

Very good question and one I had never considered.

According to Sky commentators the Open is all over but I can see it closing up a little tomorrow, especially if the wind blows.

Let's include any play off in the competition. You may live to regret it.

[tybfc]

The final table may be a little late on Sunday as the tee off times are much earlier and I am at Old Trafford watching Lancs in their first home T20 game and probably won't be home before the end of the golf.

It should be done by around 9pm.

#nocommitment

[tybfc]

15 minutes early and a great win for Lancs.

Hope the final table is ok and a tie at the top and well done to both of you.

I knew it would be close.

Apart from nighty and flixton.

Thanks to all those who took part.

[jdrobbo]

Awesome work Ty and well done to the winners.

[FCBurnley]

thanks ty for the hard work. Much appreciated. One suggestion to consider next time is to offer double points on the final round. Cheers

[Tricky Trevor]

Great fun, TY. Thanks for your graft. Congrats to claretdavid& texanclaret16.
Joint winners? Don’t inhale would be my advice, guys.

[slw]

Some good tips on here , nearly as good as sporting life website who had Lowry and Fleetwood tipped up for a 1-2.

[tybfc]

thanks ty for the hard work. Much appreciated. One suggestion to consider next time is to offer double points on the final round. Cheers

Thanks.

But we may need to look at the format before the next golfing league next year.

I have been bombarded with complaints today about the current format though I thought that it was pretty reasonable.

The golf however has been great.

You give up your time to run this, and some people complain ?

Thanks again for running this, Ty !

[Tricky Trevor]

Feck em, your game your rules. It couldn’t be more simple for the players. You have the graft at the end of play.

[Better Call Saul]

I usually play around 4 rounds of golf a week. I watch loads of golf on TV and managed to finish bottom with NO points.
Still thanks for running it TY, great effort on your part.
I was the first to submit my 6 players, perhaps I should take a bit more time if you hopefully do it again next year.

This seems to have taken off so I am more than happy to carry on with it for the majors.

Bless her but my wife hates golf other than the Ryder Cup which captures her imagination but she helps me out each night with the horse racing and golf leagues totting up the scores.

Goodwood for the racing next though it starts on her birthday so I will get battered for that.

All good fun.
