(not exactly the half i predicted, but hey it was a weird week) followed by poulter(18th), ohair(23rd), cink (27th), scott (36th), furyk (33rd), ogilvie (47th) and cabrera (54th) and notice none of my picks missed the cut!!!!~ danke Mon 22 Jun 2009 22:35:12 GMT+1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/iaincarter/2009/06/iain_carters_us_open_diary_1.html?page=16#comment9 ..." WARNING: The Black Course is an extremely difficult course which we recommend only for highly skilled golfers.""I've seen lots of rules written down on first tees but I've never seen warnings," commented the winner of the last US Open to be staged in New York, Geoff Ogilvy, the champion in 2006.Re: Warnings on 1st tees, I wonder if anyone has any other examples of notices to give you confidence as you stand on a first tee. I remember this one from a while ago: Ganton, Yorkshire. 1970s:"Warning - ladders leading down into bunkers are immovable obstructions, relief should be taken under rule x.x" !It isnt there any more, but the ladders are still!Tam Thu 18 Jun 2009 12:31:05 GMT+1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/iaincarter/2009/06/iain_carters_us_open_diary_1.html?page=14#comment8 I'm not saying that he is not worthy of interest, far from it - I completely agree that, coming from where he does, then it is a newsworthy story - but I'd like to actually hear some golfing reasons as to why he is interesting rather than "Tiger told me to practice lots" etc etc. Thu 18 Jun 2009 12:29:04 GMT+1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/iaincarter/2009/06/iain_carters_us_open_diary_1.html?page=12#comment7 Had a speculative punt on John Mallinger after his T3 in the players championship. Always an outsider in the mix in these events and think he might be there, you never know. At 175/1 it's worth a little bet.

They are not dime a dozen.If you wanted Mr Carter to provide you with stats, perhaps go to Mr Google.

"Having the time of his golfing life" - what has Kamte done? Has he won a tournament, has he just turned pro - perhaps some actual details, rather than just some guff about how some people are interested in him. Tell us why!

I also love suffixes.

I am not sure if you could even pick a top 10 finishers for this ... other than Tiger.. it could be anyone on the leader board on Sunday morning ... Wed 17 Jun 2009 20:04:25 GMT+1
