Happy new year to the small band of golf regulars on here.
Thought I would steal davethecue's thread from last year and do a new one for this year.
Big year for golf with the Ryder cup and Olympics and first non BBC live coverage of the open.
Feel free to post tips for the tournaments as well with them resuming this week
Lee slattery 50/1 for the South African one
Brandt Schnetker 66/1 for the Hawaii tournament of champions one to start things off

Qualifying is by World rankings but with a maximum of four per team.
Those inside the top 15 are given automatic entry unless you have 4 of your compatriots above you. Those players outside the top 15 are limited to teams of two. As things stand only USA will have 4 players. GB will have two as the rankings stand. Justin Rose and Danny Willett.
Fancy Danny Willett to go well
All the talk about Donald Trump
You would never guess as you don't seem to be seeming many of his shots .
Oh there he is
Mcilroy fails to win again.
Adam Scott wins again always looks so miserable
So he is now once again first reserve waiting and someone to withdraw so he can get a place in a tournament he has won previously
Belo plays Oosthulzen in the other tie.
Day is a great player and very much the world number at the moment but he is a very slow player .
Great tournament for belo as that result gets him in the masters in ten days.
Poulter could not win the lesser tournament in Puerto Rico and finishes joint third
I know it's a few months off, but does anyone know if Sky Sports will be covering the Ryder Cup in its entirety? I believe they usually do, but wanted to find out for sure.
I'm asking cos Sky have emailed me an offer for Sky Sports at reduced rate for six months. I'm considering it and would factor the Ryder Cup into my decision!
Below is a link that says that they will
My guess is that we will have one of the Sports Channels re-branded as the Ryder Cup channel
"All four majors will be shown live on Sky Sports from 2016, as well as coverage of Europe's bid for a fourth consecutive Ryder Cup victory."

It seems to be the only time we hear of him nowadays is when he is withdrawing from a Major due to injury
Sad for me as I used to really enjoy watching him and his red-top final day victories
(It was good for my wallet as well:))
So far hunter Mayan at 250/1 and I know he isn't in form but Ian poulters masters record is decent so each way as well at 150/1 so far
It says it's live but Nicklaus, Watson and Player teed off, they cut to some kids playing for 30 seconds and then apparently the three players had already walked 130 yards in that 30 seconds.
I can't walk 130 yards in 30 seconds, let alone an 80 year old!
I am never convinced it is truely live
Might just be ready to give up on him. So he'll win!
Think I'm gonna do Rory, Bubba and Patrick Reed.
Surprised he's not favourite
(3rd best at Hills at 10/1)
Nearly. Still made a small profit but not as much as was looking likely:)
I'd forgotten I'd asked that question about the Ryder Cup until just now! Thanks for your response!
No probs:)
Long time since that's happened
Hope he holds on
