The season isn't over, far from it, its hardly even winding down just yet, but its fair to say that "TwentySix" needs a few good weeks and quick, or any statistical analysis come the end of the year will make for painful reading.
This years's Johnnie Walker at Gleneagles MAY (Ssshhh...) be just the tournament we need. Five par 5s at the Centenary course, high winds always a danger and the top three or four in the market certainly underpriced, means we may just have a chance with some outsiders - and that is exactly what "TwentySix" needs...
No real explanation here, just the selections, and lots of crossing fingers...

Comment: I've been away for this weekend, so didn't follow this tournament at all. That said, we were right to say it might be a weekend to back an outsider - the tournament was won by Marc Warren at 200-1, who triumphed in a playoff over the 150-1 Simon Wakefield! We just didn't choose the right outsiders!
This was another poor result for "TwentySix" - NOT what we needed after all. We had a chance with the chubby Scot, Ally Forsyth, who was tied 4th at the end of the penultimate round, but then had a nightmare 74 in his final round and ended up 18th. The human coathanger David Lynn really never threatened, and all our other picks missed the cut!
Never mind, that's forgotten now - and next week we'll just do better then!
