You gotta be brave in the state of Georgia ............

Well, the US Masters has gone pretty much as expected so far, the course is playing tough and experience is key.

Fred Couples, 22 straight cuts here, is in contention and Charles Coody, almost 69 years old, shot an amazing 74, a full ten strokes better than Charles Howell, nearly half a century his junior! Hang your head in shame ! To be fair, I understand that young Charles is in the middle of some swing changes, so maybe we can excuse him but definitely a player to avoid at present.

One or two debutants are playing well but have shown inexperience on occasion, notably Oberholser chipping when he should be putting at the 16th.

Light rain is forecast today, which could make conditions a little easier but Sunday promises sun,
if the greens get hard, this could get brutal. I am happy with my selections at the moment, the cream should continue to rise, no freak results here, only the best of the best can hope to win.

All of the earlier soccer selections are teams desperate to win. Mainz and Strasbourg are battling to avoid relegation, the others are fighting for their positions at the other end of the table. All of their opponents have little, or nothing to play for.

Lets hope they can produce a decent profit. Good Luck.
