In me other markets Duffy now 1/2 for lowest first pref and Gallager 4/6 to be under 12.55% first prefs
I'd be curious to see PP's book, I'd guess Casey is a decent loss if he pulls it off.

Yeah PP seemed to be willing to take him on right along, were even offering an arb the last day before finally cutting him to odds on this morning, clearly reluctant to believe the hype. He must be close to a seven figure loss for them.Profit before people.

Just read the basic article, so maybe you've more insight. E.g. if the profits are based on something stupid like adjusting depreciation rates or genuine. Seems undeniably positive though.
Again it's like the 420 tweet, market would have reacted more if they really believed those results. Tempted to add in a naked CFD short.

Search under golf balls and it’s in appendix 3
Appendix III - The Ball
The R&A reserves the right, at any time, to change the Rules relating to clubs, balls, devices and other equipment and make or change the interpretations relating to these Rules. For up to date information, please contact The R&A or refer to our Equipment News & Notices page.
Any design in a club, ball, device or other equipment that is not covered by the Rules, which is contrary to the purpose and intent of the Rules or that might significantly change the nature of the game, will be ruled on by The R&A.
The dimensions and limits contained in Appendices II, III and IV are given in the units by which conformance is determined. An equivalent imperial/metric conversion is also referenced for information, calculated using a conversion rate of 1 inch = 25.4 mm.
A player in doubt as to the conformity of a ball should consult the R&A.
A manufactured for a ruling as to whether the ball conforms with the Rules. The samples become the property of the R&A for reference purposes. If a manufacturer fails to submit samples or, having submitted samples, fails to await a ruling before manufacturing and/or marketing the ball, the manufacturer assumes the risk of a ruling that the ball does not conform with the Rules.
The following paragraphs prescribe general regulations for the design of the ball, together with specifications and interpretations. Further information relating to these regulations and their proper interpretation is provided in “A Guide to the Rules on Clubs and Balls”.
Where a ball is required to meet a specification within the Rules, it must be designed and manufactured with the intention of meeting that specification.
1. General
The ball must not be substantially different from the traditional and customary form and make. The material and construction of the ball must not be contrary to the purpose and intent of the Rules.
2. Weight
The weight of the ball must not be greater than 1.620 ounces avoirdupois (45.93 g).
3. Size
The diameter of the ball must not be less than 1.680 inches (42.67mm).
4. Spherical Symmetry
The ball must not be designed, manufactured or intentionally modified to have properties which differ from those of a spherically symmetrical ball.
5. Initial Velocity
The initial velocity of the ball must not exceed the limit specified under the conditions set forth in the Initial Velocity Standard for golf balls on file with the R&A.
6. Overall Distance Standard
The combined carry and roll of the ball, when tested on apparatus approved by the R&A, must not exceed the distance specified under the conditions set forth in the Overall Distance Standard for golf balls on file with the R&A.His rival it seems, had broken his dreams,By stealing the girl of his fancy.Her name was Magill, and she called herself Lil,But everyone knew her as Nancy.

I called a 'company' regarding a quote for guttering at the rear of my house. (two stories guttering and downpiping etc). An auld lad rocked up with some young fella and had the Gaul to quote me €2300
GTFO.
Priced and bought the stuff myself from Chadwicks and rented a ladder. Myslef and the brother did it for about €500 in an afternoon.

I feel very sorry for the old and vulnerable dealing with them.

So now that the Casey think is truly done, who's next?
Of the 5 or so minutes I've seen of the race only the women didn't come across as clowns
Why no joy for them?
Freeman (with no digging) seems to have the background required and ni Riada has the shinners behind her
