Hi all, the past couple of years i have run a tipping comp for The Open based on a selection of players. Sadly, this year I won't have the time to do the comp like I used to do it. I work different hours now and work a lot on a weekend.

However, all is not lost as I will still monitor and run the comp but through our old friend Prediction Game.

If you are up for it and ready to join then you are more than welcome.

Is it only me ?

My predictions start with the games teeing off at 6.54 and dont include the players that teed off earlier such as Fisher and Karlsson?

Theres quite a lot missing surely...The field is bigger than that

I think there is

I dont think it matters if it's the same for all of us, I was just checking that it wasn't only me missing players

To be honest i wasnt sure who was missing but i was convinced there was some

Yeah he only does about 60% of the field

I do presume the tips for round two are for the individual round not the cumulative half way score ?

Yeah individual round

Thank you!

Your welcome

Just seen your question about the bonuses Darren..
I was thinking along that lines this morning.

It is an odd one isn't it ? I can see why he has done it though. Klaus said the scoring system will change for next year on the golf anyway

Will post the updated table at the end of round 2

Ok..
Every time i check...One minute im doing awful then a couple of hours later im back up again.
This time i tried to spread out my picks with different scores.

Standings after 36 holes - halway point

1 - Simon Matthews - 1153
2 - Darren Lethem - 1149
3 - Simon Brown - 1134
4 - Kevin Duff - 1089
5 - Chris Price - 1087
6 - Geoff Vickers - 1085
7 - Dai Cambel - 1051
8 - Jake Lepeg - 1040
9 - Dave Williams - 1036
10 - Tony Pennington - 1027
10 - Alan O'Brien - 1027
12 - Bhavesh Gorsia - 955
13 - Peter O'Brien - 945
14 - Chris MacLeod - 483

Don't think there will be a Cup competition for this, even though I requested it.

In the overall comp Simon lies 16th. In the drop out we still have - Simon M, Darren L, Simon B, Kevin D and Geoff V

I don't think they've ever had a cup competition for any of the last golf contests either.


Or even the other way. I was second on here the last time I checked it a few hours ago. All the way down to 10th now

One of the hardest things to predict Golf...Any player can be good or bad on any given day of any tournament.
