Yeah he really is a nice guy. He lives and grew up local to me. He has honoury membership at the local course (Broome Manor).
A few years ago a mutual friend of ours died, he was only in his late 30's but had suffered with a heart problem his whole life. Despite this he was a scratch golfer and drinking buddy of David's. After this David arranged a charity event in his memory, getting loads of tour players to ocme and play at Broome. (It's only a municipal council course). We had the likes of Paul Casey, Nicola Fasth, Simon Kahn and many others, I just can't remember them. All to raise money for a heart foundation charity. Great success and just shows how much of a great guy David is.
Infact I thought I would google it and see what was online about it... This was pretty high on this list, I'm sure there is much more. http://www.swindonweb.com/?m=2&s=87&ss=93&c=1116 Posted by FlashFlush[/QUOTE
I was there watching. You could walk around with the players and sit pretty much where you wanted (within reason). Never been to a proper event so don't know how that compares.
The clip where they are directly behind Paul Casey as he tee's off and you can see him aiming at trees is a par 4, with a dog-leg right. He drove the green where I was sat to about 20 foot! He missed the putt but made the birdie. Pretty impressive.
Late declaration of fancies this week. Done Horsey and Lowry ew 33 & 40/1. And an outsider to back them up Havret 135/1 ew. Just doing Donald @ 16/1 ew in the USA. No doubles this week. Gl everyone Posted by joesman1
Knowing my luck atm, the ew part of the double must be a cert, and wouldn't rule out fate smacking me right in my chops!!

Espana was write of for with both players failing to make any impact.
Rbc I'm sitting quite nicely but could easily me falling short. McDowell on -7 t4 and Haas -6 t6. A lot depends on what happens above or below them because its hard to see either of them winning without those at the top not dropping a shot or two.
A late punt on ishikawa at 200/1, who is sitting t6 and who played quite nicely yesterday, could be well rewarded come the end of the day.
One of the 3 will hopefully give me a some good entertainment for my money anyway.
Well done JD.... Could have been better and worse for me. Horsey ended up as a 4/1 winner after calculating 2/4 * 1/4 of 33/1.... Donald another 4/1 winner. But being a **** I missed out on the 24/1 double.
Been checking the form, history of the events so why hang about, I've got my picks in early.
Ballentines
David Howell 40/1 - £2.50 e/w - Been up there contending for what seems like the whole season! He dropped way back on Sunday after finding the trees twice and running up a 9, but one hole doesn't mean you have lost form so has probably done us all a favour with the bookies. This time last year he was missing cuts all over the place, yet he came here and got a T12, so with the form he is in, I'd expect him to be right up there again.
Paul Casey 50/1 £2 e/w - Coming back to form on the quiet. Every result this year has been between T16 and T37, so he is being very consistent. With someone like Paul, it's only going to take 1 win/top 5 finish and the bookies will be all over him and 50/1's will be a thing of the past.
Like David this time last year he was all over the place, his best result all the way from March to September was a T51, apart from Ballentines where he got T25, in the middle of 5 missed cuts, so again, he obviously likes it here.
Zurich Classic
Billy Horschel - 30/1 - £3 e/w - Super consistent this year made 11 out of 11 cuts. Hasn't been outside of the top 10 in his last 3 tournaments, and with a weak field, this could be his first PGA title. - Probably my main tip of the week as well.
Jeff Overton - 50/1 £2 e/w - Had a quiet year so far, managed to stay under the radar, yet his last start was at the Valero Texas Open where he finished T7, so starting to show some form.
He has good course history here, top 20 3 of the last 4 starts and one of those was a second, where he came in with worse form than he is this year. His T18 last year finished with a 65 so he will be coming back with good memories.
Well done JD with Gmac :DD Just got in from work, so haven't had a chance to research my bets yet, but I had planned on backing both Casey and Horschel, Flash! Not sure if that's a good thing for us or not Posted by splashies
Right then my other two picks are Jason Dufner and Victor Dubuisson.
I didnt want to back Dufner again for a while but I'd kick myself if he won, given his record in this event. 9th, 7th,3rd and 1st in his last four years.
Dubuisson came 3rd here last year and has finished in the top10 in his previous two starts in Asia this season.
