Golf 2016 thread
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 |

Just reading up on the forthcoming golf tournament in Rio Olympics.
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. |

Decent effort from Danny Willett putting it in the water on the 18th finished his chances .
Mcilroy fails to win again. Adam Scott wins again always looks so miserable |

The demise of Iain Poulter continues the big match play tournament next week continues for the top 64 but he has fallen to number 67 in the world.
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. 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 |

Hey guys. Wondered if anyone could answer a query for me.
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! |

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 )

Is this Par 3 thing really live?
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've backed hunter for every single major for about 8 years. Always felt he had the game to win one.
Might just be ready to give up on him. So he'll win! ![]() Think I'm gonna do Rory, Bubba and Patrick Reed. |

So are we talking about The Masters in here or in the 'Official' thread?

I think we should be talking about all this Masters stuff in the Official Masters thread as that is where you get all the latest news

I know it's the obvious, but hard to look past Jordan Spieth for me
Surprised he's not favourite (3rd best at Hills at 10/1) |
