I'm in

Noticed this today on Skybet Alex Hammond double was on horses running at 15:05 and 16:25. The first horse won at 15:05, but I still managed to put £25 on a special bet of either horse to win at 15:21, even though the first horse HAD already won. As it turned out, the second horse also later won. Skybet have paid out on the original bet at 8/13. What would have happened if the second horse hadn't won, would they still have paid out? Or should they have voided the bet completely? Or because the first race was finished before I put the bet on, should it have turned in to a straight single on the 2nd horse that then won at 2/1? Opinions wanted.....

What does it say?

Long time voyeur on pie and bovril, little posting though. Anybody going to the canniggia night at the end of the month?

I am a fan of sportsound and listen to the podcasts most days. For all the drivel of chick young and the rest, last night was the first time I've ever had to switch it off. English and Stewart were a disgrace, both seemed to have the belief whoever shifted loudest made the most valid point. Kenny hosted equally to blame for making no effort whatsoever to control them

If you hit it in trouble off the tee, you've hit a bad shot. Take the punishment, try and get out the rough and play for bogey. Easier said than done. Last Sunday I was going OK after 15, drove in to crap on 16, got greedy, took 8. Whole round gone because I didn't take my own advice

In January last year it happened to me. Went to hit my 6 iron and on impact the shafts snapped in half. What a weird noise half a golf club makes flying through the air. And you wouldn't believe how light the other half I was left holding felt!

Anybody got shotscope or know anyone that has? Tempted to buy it. Would love to be able to look back and analyse where my round went wrong

I'm going to glasgow next weekend for golf and booze weekend with some mates, of mixed abilities. Any suggestions for reasonable but cheap courses not too far from the centre? We're driving up from kintyre and currently looking at playing Dumbarton, Vale of leven, Cardross or Helensburgh on the Friday then Renfrew or Paisley on the Saturday. Using teeofftimes.co.uk for cheap rates All ideas welcome

We're going out to Portugal in August golfing. We're hiring clubs from http://www.algarvegolfclubhire.com/clubs/ My mate did all the organising and got a good deal. We've paid it up front and think it's €45 for four days. Choice of ping, callaway, Ben sayers or Taylormade. The women phoned my mate to let him know they're just ordering brand new ping g25 irons and woods and for Taylormade the choice is rocket ballz or r11. Clubs being dropped off and picked up from apartments. When they're dropped off, will be able to choose from different putters and any specialist clubs like job wedges, 1 irons, etc for no extra cost

Machrihanish is 5 minutes from where I stay, great course. Opening hole was voted the best opening hole in the world a few years back. Not as daunting as it sounds and plenty room to bail out right. If you're playing Machrihanish you should play Machrihanish dunes as well. New course opened about 5 years ago but was made the old fashioned way out of the existing land. It's longer and tougher than the original author tremendous course as well. Quite often special deals on green fees as well. There's also dunaverty at Southend. Course is a lot easier but great to play and always in great nick.

That's fair game on now. Love him or loath him, and lots of players bottle it against him. With him out every other player has got a helluva boost. Can't wait until the last 16
