No-one is happy to be corrected, that’s how forums work 😉

Bhatia is number 34 in the world. Not 87. Such is the ill-informed views of people about the Masters...

I’ve had a decent festival so far, day 1 set me up massively although El Fabiolo cost me a bunch in accas A couple of very good place bets including a 70/1 on day 2. About flat yesterday. 6x up on original budget, taken out the winnings to pay half the golf subs and have some fun with the rest...

It will be interesting to see if Liv continue with their ‘Promotions Events’ this year. The main purpose of these being to try and fit owgr criteria via either the Intl Series on AT or the qualifying tournament. What they ended up with was 4 players with little to no recognition that have...

Not sure why they’re bothering to continue playing now Wolff has withdrawn. Surely an * for the winner now.

1. Not really. 1 different tournament per year out of 15, where you can set your schedule and play in 2 countries vs globetrotting for 14 fixed weeks 2. Another falsehood of a ‘benefit’ of Liv. Scheffler had 4 months off season

It's just completely revisionist and agenda fitting. I don't understand why they all don't just admit it was money and nothing else. Those that have seem to have admitted as such have retained more respect, hence Jon Rahm's PR machine recently kicking into overdrive and becoming more money...

No, the market would correct itself to have providers focussed on delivering high quality education and well-being environments for kids, at a fair price to the govt/parents, rather than owners funding lavish lifestyles. Some providers are even in the hands of Private Equity. The system is...

You clearly have no idea how private nurseries and preschools are run, so I’m not sure why you’re commenting. Either that or you have a vested interest in one. The majority that are private are owned by people who don’t work there. They have minimum staff levels, paying minimum wage, but...

Private childcare providers are making noise because this is reducing profit levels. They are charging exorbitant fees and holding parents to ransom, often with low quality provision. The £8.50 rate is a far better reflection of true market value. They will still be making a profit. I would...

The main problem is actually privatisation of the preschool environments and a drive for profit. Anyone saying it doesn’t even cover costs is running a pretty poor business. Majority of the nurseries and preschools that get shut down by Ofsted are those racing to the bottom on costs and cutting...

A penny for Talor Gooch thoughts right now Joined Liv by mistake, no sign on bonus, no ‘equity’ and now no exemption to a major when a less decorated peer (in Liv terms) has received one. I know he has still earned silly money but I bet he would trade some of that to be in the majors

Has anyone seen what Sergio has been using recently? I seem to recall him snapping a putter in anger previously and putting with a 3 wood It looks like he has stuck a 3W head onto a putter shaft! Absolutely horrendous! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that but id never be able to...

Sorry to bash the ego but I don’t think earning £80k (or whatever) in your mid 30s in London, with limited upside on earnings, living in a semi detached driving a Kia makes you an exception! I manage a 26 year old on the same salary.

Yeah, I agree, but it will just chip away in an existing market, offering an alternative, not growing it. Nothing about it will suddenly make my mum watch. You can’t get 20/20 off her tv! She even goes to test matches now, taking up a valuable family ticket!
