Apparently the boys don’t think much of this years British open venue, Royal St Georges. Word is that due to the ridiculously undulating fairways and greens a good shot can finish up literally anywhere. Back in 1885 Dr William Laidlaw Perves (or Merv as his mates called him) took a look out over the Sandwich and decided it would be the perfect place for a golf course. He didn’t seek any help and went ahead and built the thing himself. I reckon old Billy Perves might have been better downing the shovel and staying with the scalpel. With this in mind I was stunned to see Ladbrokes showing Rory McIlroy at 6/1 favourite! I’m a big Rory fan but 6’s on this course….no way. Jason Day at 33/1, now that’s more like it.
