Tips for the Open?
Who do you think will win the Open at Hoylake? Its starts this Thursday. Obviously the likes of Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson are going to come into contention. Do you have someone you would particularly like to win? I have always admired Ernie Els as a golfer and person but he hasn't won a Major for a long time unfortunately! :( :(
Others that can come into contention include Fred Couples, Jim Furyk, David Toms, Geoff Ogilvy, Sergio Garcia, Vijay Singh, Colin Montgomerie, Padraig Harrington, Thomas Bjorn, Luke Donald etc.

I'd take a small punt on Retief Goosen.
It's not been happening for him lately and he admits to lacking confidence.
But he hit a decent 67 in the last round at Loch Lomond and if he puts in a respectable first round in The Open I think he'll end up in the final mix by Day 4.

Kicks and scrums and ruck and roll.....Is all my brain and body need!

Good to see Tiger isn't running away with it at the moment.
Kin, you said Retief Goosen, could be in the mix!

I agree with you Jess on Tiger, although you never know!
I am also a fan of Ernie. Its good to see him back after his knee troubles. I like his general relaxed manner and he seems a pretty nice bloke. I hope he wins at least one more Major before he bows out (Hopefully a while yet!). He hasn't had the greatest fortune over the years in potentially winning positions.

i feel bad tho cause its only down the road and its like the megabiggest thing to happen on the wirral ever ever and everyone keeps sayn they've seen lots of famous people. but west wirral is where the rich inbred people live and there's probably neston heads there too

you'd love it si. east wirral and most of the north ( the areas i've lived in ) aren't much cop but west and south is a lot posher, the west has clean beaches and lots of bars which i'm told are pretty packed and very cosmopolitan at the mo. there are supposed to be lots of really good places to eat round that way too. and caldy rufc is set in very picturesque surroundings. even the smackheads have a clean pair of rockports round that way
