I'd go for the Women's Open as well - strongest field of all events this week. Just have to get my head round all those Korean girls' names! But ultimately it's down to you Grumps

So with three votes for the ladies it's the Women's Open this week. Event to be posted shortly

Let's see who can get themselves a new kitchen for their husband

Okay, this week: Frys or Portugal? Either way the event won't be posted for a few hours, think late afternoon UK time

I would vote for Frys.

I'd be happy with  week off as neither is particularly thrilling!

Did you pick up my "pick by numbers" note from a few days ago?

"Grumps, I am away for a couple of weeks (or maybe three) and although I might have internet access, it could be intermittent so if I don't manage to make any picks by the cut-off time, please give me numbers 1, 3 and 7 in each category and 12 as reserve. Thanks."

"I'd be happy with week off as neither is particularly thrilling!"

Then don't enter.

LP, yes I saw your note. I'll pick by numbers if necessary for you.

Having played at Victoria a couple of times Portugal gets my vote!

Ah local knowledge. Unfair advantage, Fry's it is then

I don't recall anything about unfair advantage when you were hobnobbing it with the players at the Barclays...

Frys seems a decent field, that gets my vote.

Ditto.

This is about you, not me
Anyway, you've been outvoted

I bet you used to take your ball home when the bigger kids wouldn't let you have a kick in the playground...

And don't get too hasty...it's only 3-1 and there's another 20 votes due in yet!

I do everything in my power to manipulate the points to my advantage under the rules but Venice did a great job in locking these down. Damn you Venice, with your stellar work, damn you :fistshakingsmilie:

Oh, and I vote Frys seeing as I've just got the field and all that bollox, 4-1

Where is venice these days?

Only comment from here is Portugal's window is rapidly closing. First tee-times at Frys not due until about 3.00 p.m. Colchester time, Thursday.
5-1.

I'm trying to post the event but work keeps getting in the way. Barstewards! don't they know I have more important things to do.

It was so much more well organised and professionally done when Venice used to run it

Of course it was, don't you remember how I got to do it.

Anyway, Frys going up soon

I'm with you GG. Work takes up 8 hours of my leisure time as well.

PGA Tour in Vegas or the European Tour in Hong Kong.

Picking Hong Kong will shorten the time for picks. The choice is yours ladies and gentlemen, but make it quick!

LV

HK

Portugal

I hear the Victoria course is pretty nice Blue, have you ever played it?

We must have a game there sometime Grumps...

LV

Vegas baby!

LV

Vegas!
Either way i'm coming last but if it happens there at least it stays there

haha nice one!

The funny thing about Vegas is that it is pretty tame compared to most cities in Europe, or (as illustrated in the sequel) SE Asia. Plenty of UK stag groups plan hedonistic stag do's in Vegas when there is a lot more fun to be had, a lot closer and a lot cheaper.

True enough Ray
I do love Vegas though. If we had no kids I'd go every year

With the rain delayed end to the PGA tour event this week the OWGR will not update until tomorrow. That leaves us with a choice to make regarding the event this week.

The third Race to Dubai finale event is in Shanghai which has a time difference of 8 hours to the UK and 13 hours to the US East Coast. Assuming the first tee time is around 7AM this would mean picks would have to be made by about 11PM Wednesday in the UK, 6PM Eastern.

Alternatively we could with the PGA tour event in Mexico which would start later in the day on Thursday for UK based folks.

Either way the next event is not going to get posted much earlier than noon/5PM on Tuesday.

Shanghai for me please.

Whatever is easier for you Grumps, but if we've got a choice Shanghai would get my vote

You say Shanghai Blue but there's way too many young Asian golfers for you to pick from in Cat C.  There's 14 invites from the Chinese PGA....

Exactly Grumps. I just want to offend Mac again

Not difficult to offend mac. Just the term 'young Asian' probably gets him to the keyboard.

Shanghai would be my vote too.

Shanghai please

Looks like Grumps has been Shanghaied . . . . . . .

Good luck to the boys at Sky trying to pronounce that lot!
