I am setting this up to keep a track of my golf betting and hopefully get some thoughts and suggestions along the way.
I have never done a betting log before and since the majority of my punting is in golf I thought it a good place to start.
I generally wait until the cut to make bets but also have some before the off if someone takes my fancy. Picking winners in golf is very difficult as I am sure most of you know.
I don't use betfair as I found that I would be backing and laying 20 guys to make a book and while profitable was very time consuming and don't have the freedoms I once had to be doing it anymore.
I am giving myself a bank of €1,000 and using a €10 a point.
I have 2 to start with this week.
Chris Kirk in Sony Open 33/1 2pts E/W
Darren Fichardt 80/1 1pt E/W
Chris Kirk was 5th in this last year and played pretty well last week finishing mid table.
Won the McGladrey Classic in October on the seeside course in Sea Island and also was 2nd in the AT&T Pro Am. So clearly doesn't mind playing in the wind.
Darren Fichardt has a good record in events in Africa having won last year and 2nd (not at this course mind you) I think 80/1 is too big.
