GOLF: US OPEN BETTING LATEST
IT'S a four-way tie at the top going into the final day of the US Open and expect more fireworks at Chambers Bay tonight. Players have been critical of the course and sub-standard greens but it's made for a thrilling spectacle with plenty of birdies, bogeys and double bogeys....
GOLF: US OPEN BETTING LATEST
IT'S been an exciting US Open so far even if half the drama takes places overnight if you live in Europe. That's a shame because the golf's been brilliant on a course that's really testing stars to the limit and making them think every shot much more than usual....
JUNE 19: RAALJACA’S GOALS BETS
IT wasn't a good day on the football for raaljaca with two losers but one of his popular golf bets landed. He tipped Patrick Reed at 50-1 ew to be first-round leader at the US Open and after a 66 he finished third. So Reed's a potential winner for...
GOLF: ACE VENTURER’S US OPEN TIPS
GOOD luck to you all this week on picking your US Open winner. It's a really tough one to call due lack of form on the course but here’s my picks – and I wouldn't put anyone off waiting to see how the first round pans out before hitting...
GOLF: MR FIXIT’S US OPEN TIPS
CHAMBERS BAY was a controversial choice to host the US Open – and the event looks wide open. Golf chiefs have plumped for a young course that will play more like The Open than a traditional US Open. Some top players are expecting a Chamber of Horrors but other...
GOLF: ACE VENTURER’S BETTING TIPS
THE Diamond CC near Vienna hosts this week’s Lyoness Open where there’s a good turnout. With average width fairways and small greens accuracy could play a big part and Maximilian Kieffer could be the one to land the prize. The 25-year-old German has three top-10 finishes in six outings...
GOLF: ACE VENTURER’S TIPS
THE Memorial Invitational at the Jack Nicklaus-designed Muirfield Village, Ohio, has attracted great names including Jordan Spieth, Dustin Johnson, Rickie Fowler and the return of Tiger Woods. Brooks Koepka looks to be back to some kind of form with four sub-70 rounds last week and could do well here....
GOLF: ACE VENTURER’S TIPS
FRANCESO MOLINARI gave me another place last week but after leading for three rounds I thought the Italian was set to provide me with a win. Even after bogeying the first I thought the Italian would still be in the mix at the finish at Wentworth on Sunday. I...
GOLF: ACE VENTURER’S TIPS
FRANCESCO MOLINARI gave me a 35-1 place on Sunday but unfortunately Emiliano Grillo just missed out when David Howell birdied the last. Hopefully I’ll have better luck this week. Although Grillo didn’t give me a return at the Open de Espana I do think he can do the business...
GOLF: ACE VENTURER’S TIPS
THE European Tour moves to Spain this week for the Open de Espana at the Real Club de Golf El Prat, half an hour to the north of Barcelona and the Greg Norman-designed course is one of Sergio Garcia’s favourites courses in the world. I tipped Emiliano Grillo for...
GOLF: ACE VENTURER’S SAWGRASS TIPS
IT'S back to stroke play this week thankfully with the Tournament Players Championship at Sawgrass. With 49 of the world’s top 50 taking part and 56 of the top 60 and quite a few players in top form (McIlroy, Spieth, Rose, etc) this looks like it could be a...
GOLF: ACE VENTURER’S BETTING TIPS
JB HOLMES, Jordan Spieth and now Kiradech Aphibarnrat. That's three winners in a row at 28-1, 11-1 and 40-1. After a string of second places I'm on a remarkable run although Aphibarnrat did his best to blow it in China before winning in a play-off. Credit to Mr Fixit...
GOLF: ACE VENTURER’S BETTING TIPS
MY winners seem to be like buses these days, nothing for ages then two come along one after the other. Thanks to Jordan Spieth’s superb Masters win at the weekend I followed my success the previous week with an 11-1 victor. Young Spieth didn’t show any nerves until he...
APR 10: THE MASTERS GOLF LATEST
I HAVEN'T quite made it to Augusta yet – one leg to go – but when I do I expect Jordan Spieth still to be leading the way. The young American, one of Ace Venturer's outright tips, lit up the tournament on day one with a sparkling eight-under 64...
THE MASTERS: ACE VENTURER’S GOLF TIPS
WE'RE off and running now JB Holmes has got my first win of the year. After a string of placed winners over the past few months I was wondering if I was ever going to land a winner – so to do it with a 28-1 shot was great....
GOLF: ACE VENTURER’S BETTING TIPS
WE remain in Texas this week for the Shell Houston Open and after local man Jimmy Walker won in the Lone Star State last time out maybe we should use the same criteria. Apart from last week’s winner we have Jordan Spieth, Patrick Reed and Shawn Stefani all taking...
GOLF: ACE VENTURER’S BETTING TIPS
WELL, it was another week another second. I can’t seem to get that elusive winner but as long I get a return I’m happy. Last week it was Henrik Stenson, for the second week in a row, who earned me a small place return as he three-putted twice in...
GOLF: ACE VENTURER’S BETTING TIPS
HENRIK STENSON came close last week missing the play-off by one stroke but he did give us a return with his fourth-place finish. Jordan Spieth won it in a play-off with Patrick Reed and Sean O’Hair but unfortunately I tipped him the week before! This week the PGA Tour...
GOLF: ACE VENTURER’S BETTING TIPS
I THOUGHT we had a winner on Sunday with eight holes to go but Bubba Watson decided to play in the sand over the remaining holes and lost out to, of all people Dustin Johnston. Those who follow this column know I’m a fan of big DJ but stupidly...
GOLF: ACE VENTURER’S TIPS
THE WGC-Cadillac Championship is at the tough Trump National Doral’s Blue Monster Course this week with the top 70 in the world rankings taking part. I like the look of Jordan Spieth this week. He’s had three top-10s this year from four tournaments and is looking in good shape....
GOLF: ACE VENTURER’S BETTING TIPS
BOTH Dustin Johnson and Marcus Fraser gave us a good run for our money at the weekend but unfortunately fell at the last hurdle. We still got a return on their second and third places and hopefully that elusive winner isn’t far away. This week the European Tour heads...
GOLF: ACE VENTURER’S TIPS
I DON'T know what I have to do to get that elusive win this year. With Nick Watney finishing second at the AT&T on Sunday that’s five seconds in four weeks. Watney was a 35-1 pick so there was a still a good return for anyone taking the eachway...
GOLF: ACE VENTURER’S BETTING TIPS
I DON'T know what I have to do get a win these days. Last weekend Bernd Wiesberger had a two-stroke lead going into the final round and only managed a two-over par round to lose out to Anirban Lahiri – the fourth time in three weeks one of my...
GOLF: ACE VENTURER’S TOP TIPS
ON Sunday with four holes to go I thought we had our first winner of the year when Hideki Mitsuyama stormed ahead in Phoenix. Unfortunately it wasn’t to be but I mentioned on the message board a couple of weeks ago to watch Brooks Koepka this season (why I...
GOLF: ACE VENTURER’S BETTING TIPS
AFTER having the last couple of months off I’ve replenished my brain cells and I’m ready to try to pick some winners for you guys – as I did last year time after time. We’re back at Abu Dhabi for the HSBC Golf Championship with three-time winner Martin Kaymer,...
Golf: Ace’s 6 of the Best for 2016
AS it’s all quiet on the golfing front Ace Venturer thought he'd name his best six for 2016. These are not necessarily players to win Majors but over the season to give a good return for my money. See if you agree. European Tour My first pick is 21-year-old...
GOLF: DP WORLD TOUR CHAMPIONSHIP TIPS
I’VE said a few times recently that Brooks Koepka was one to watch and last week he came up trumps for us in Turkey at 35-1. I also tipped Henrik Stenson and but for a triple-bogey seven in the first round he could have been challenging for the title...
GOLF: TURKISH AIRLINES OPEN BETTING TIPS
I WAS about to celebrate a wire-to-wire win last week when Graeme McDowell blew the WGC-HSBC Champions last week. After leading for three round the Irishman missed a 10-footer on the last to force a play-off. Meanwhile, Bubba Watson holed from sand at the last to make the play-off...
GOLF: WGC-HSBC BETTING TIPS
THIS week the Tour is staying in Shanghai for the second event in the 2014 Race to Dubai Final Series at the Sheshan International GC. Taking part are 40 of the top 50 players in the official world rankings, including including Justin Rose, Sergio Garcia, Rickie Fowler and Bubba...

GOLF: McGLADREY CLASSIC/PERTH INTERNATIONAL TIPS
IT wasn't a bad weekend with good finishes by Webb Simpson and Brooks Koepka giving me two places. As it’s nearing the end of the year I've been looking at my performance over the year. Since the beginning of January I’ve picked 12 winners, from 5-1 to 50-1, at...
GOLF: SHRINERS/HONG KONG OPEN TIPS
BROOKS KOEPKA gave us a good run for our money last week but his final round let him down. But one bad 18 holes does not a bad golfer make (well that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it). I’m also sticking to Koepka again this week at the...
GOLF: PORTUGAL MASTERS/FRYS.COM TIPS
TOMMY FLEETWOOD was so close last Sunday for the second week running and hopefully it will be third time lucky this weekend. Myself and Mr Fixit both tipped him each-way at 28-1 and he finished joint second after missing a six-footer at St Andrews to force a play-off with...
GOLF: ALFRED DUNHILL LINKS TIPS
WHAT a weekend that was! Great result for Europe and some brilliant golf. Unfortunately my selections were hopeless and as Mr Fixit said I should just stick to strokeplay. So we're back to “normal” golf at the Alfred Dunhill that's played over St Andrews, Carnoustie and Kingsbarn this week....
GOLF: RYDER CUP 2014 DAY 3 TIPS
IT was a brilliant day for Europe and my tips as the Ryder Cup nears a conclusion. Paul McGinley's men go into Sunday's singles leading 10-6 and much of that is down to Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson. The English/Swedish pair won me two Super Singles on Friday and...
GOLF: RYDER CUP 2014 DAY 2 TIPS

GOLF: EUROPE v USA RYDER CUP TIPS
AT last it’s here, the weekend we’ve been waiting for longer than a 99 bus. The Ryder Cup comes to Gleneagles and it should be sensational. Just watched Memories of Medinah to get me in the mood with Ian Poulter pulling the Europeans up by the bootlaces and it...
GOLF: ISPS HANDA WALES OPEN TIPS
IT was a super Sunday as my 25-1 tip Paul Casey won the KLM Open at the weekend then hours later Mr Fixit's 25-1 pick for the Tour Championship, Billy Horschel, also took the honours. That would have been some double and I wish I'd backed it. This week...
GOLF: TOUR CHAMPIONSHIP/KLM OPEN TIPS

GOLF: THE BARCLAYS/CZECH MASTERS BETTING TIPS

GOLF: WGC BRIDGESTONE INVITATIONAL TIPS
THIS week’s WGC Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone Country Club, Ohio has a lot of the top players taking part in a build-up to the USPGA. It’s going to be tough to pick a winner but here goes. My main pick is Rickie Fowler. With T2nd in the US Open...
JULY 26: COMMONWEALTH GAMES AND OTHER SPORT TIPS
THE Senior Open tips are going well with Ace Venturer's two picks – Bernhard Langer and Colin Montgomerie sitting first and joint second at halfway. My only tip was Langer and the German looks unstoppable after storming into a seven-shot lead in Wales. Fair play to Monty for shooting...
GOLF: CANADIAN OPEN/SENIOR OPEN TIPS
THE PGA Tour returns to North America this week at the oldest golf club on the continent, the Royal Montreal Golf Club, for the RBS Canadian Open. Fourth at The Open last week, Jim Furyk is my pick for this one. The two-time champion has had nine top-20 finishes...
GOLF: THE OPEN BETTING TIPS
I WAS hoping Justin Rose wouldn’t win at Aberdeen as he was going to be my tip for The Open this week. I know Phil Mickelson won the Scottish then the Open last year but can Rose do the same? He triumphed in the the Quicken Loans National two...
GOLF: FRENCH OPEN/GREENBRIER CLASSIC TIPS
IF it wasn’t for Henrik Stenson finding a bit of water at the fifth extra hole against Parguayan Fabrizio Zanotti last week we might have had a winner. But you win some you lose some. This week the European Tour moves on to the Alstrom Open de France at...
GOLF: BMW INTERNATIONAL/QUICKEN LOAN TIPS
THIS week we have the BMW International in Cologne which includes US Open champ Martin Kaymer who grew up around 30 kilometres from the venue and Henrik Stenson who finished a credible T4th behind Kaymer at Pinehurst. In his last three European outings Stenson has not been out of...
GOLF: IRISH OPEN/TRAVELLERS CHAMPIONSHIP TIPS

GOLF: AT&T NATIONAL TIPS
THIS week we move on to the AT&T Players Championship at Sawgrass with 29 of the FedEx top 30 in the field including eight former winners so it's certainly a great field. First of all I’m going for one of the former winners, Sergio Garcia. He won in 2008...
GOLF: WELLS FARGO CHAMPIONSHIP/LAGUNA NATIONAL TIPS
IT looks like the best way to pick a winner on the PGA Tour is to stick a pin in the field! Noh Seung-yul became the fifth player under 26 to win a tournament in the past two months and none of them were what you could call well-known...
GOLF: ZURICH CLASSIC/CHINA OPEN TIPS
LEE WESTWOOD was my 4pt tip to win the Malaysian Open last week so that was a tidy profit at 10-1. It was good see the English ace him back to some kind of form and return me to the winning trail. After his Masters display he looked steady...
GOLF: RBC HERITAGE/MALAYSIAN OPEN TIPS
I'M a bit down after The Masters. Not so much that Bubba won it, he was a worthy champion, but the fact Dustin Johnson and Sergio Garcia didn’t even make the cut! Now we move on to the RBC Heritage this week with a few top finishers from the...
GOLF: US MASTERS BETTING TIPS
IT'S time for the first Major of the year. Hope your wallets are full and you've got plenty to put on your favourites. My selections are all guys I’ve talked about before – Dustin Johnson, Matt Kuchar, Sergioa Garcia, Hunter Mahan and Adam Scott. First we have Johnson. Let’s...
GOLF: SHELL OPEN BETTING TIPS
IT seems that over the last five or six tournaments past form has gone out the window with rookies, players way down the rankings and first time winners all doing the business. Will this run continue this week – I’m not so sure. What with most of the top...
GOLF: VALERO OPEN BETTING TIPS
HE gave us a top-five finish but what was Adam Scott playing at in the final round last week. Ten under after the first 18 holes he could only manage a 76 in the last. I think even I could have held on to the lead he had (well...
GOLF: ARNOLD PALMER INVITATIONAL TIPS
VALSPAR was another high-scoring tournament last week but thankfully Luke Donald helped us out with a tied fourth. We’re still in Florida this week with the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill and tournament favourite Tiger Woods has pulled out with a back injury. It's a par-72 course and...
GOLF: VALSPAR CHAMPIONSHIP/HASSAN TROPHEE TIPS
LAST week wasn’t so good with wind and water blowing away the chances of quite a few players. With only three players managing an under-par score at the WGC-Cadillac we should be grateful for a top-five finish thanks to Dustin Johnston. The PGA Tour now moves on to Innisbrook’s...
GOLF: HONDA CLASSIC/TSHWANE OPEN TIPS
I MADE it back-to-back wins last week thanks to Jason Day in the Accenture Matchplay. Day was a 20-1 2pt ew tip and followed on from Thomas Aiken winning the Africa Open at 12-1. Can I make it three in a row? Don't bank on it but I'll give...
GOLF: 20-1 WIN MAKES A GREAT DAY
JASON DAY made it back-to-back winners for our golf tipster Ace Venturer. He tipped the Aussie at 20-1 to win the Aceenture Matchplay and Day came through after a nailbiting five-hole play-off against Victor Dubuisson. Last week Ace tipped Thomas Aiken to win the Africa Open at 11-1 and...
GOLF: ACCENTURE MATCHPLAY TIPS
IT was a pretty good weekend with one winner, a second and a fifth from tournaments in the States and South Africa. My best bet was Thomas Aiken who won the Africa Open. I advised him at 11-1 and suggested a 2.5pts ew stake. I thought I was on...
GOLF: NORTHERN TRUST OPEN/AFRICA OPEN TIPS
TWO top-five finishes last week was not what I was hoping for. Thomas Aitken threw away the lead in the final round in Joburg when he stumbled to six bogeys but Dustin Johnston did us a favour in the AT&T. This week we start with a look at the...
GOLF: AT&T/JOBURG OPEN TIPS
IT wasn’t a bad week with two top-five finishes (Graham DeLaet and Thorbjorn Olesen). My top tip was Rory McIlroy and he looked on course for victory until being hit by food poisoning. This week it's the AT&T at Peeble Beach with Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Jason Day and...
GOLF: DUBAI CLASSIC/PHOENIX OPEN TIPS
SERGO GARCIA did us proud with a blemish free seven-under 65 on the last day to win the Qatar Masters last weekend after a play-off with Mikko Illonen. It was the second year running Garcia had a final-day flourish only this time he won after being tipped at 8-1....
GOLF: FINGERS CROSSED FOR 369-1 DOUBLE
OUR golf tipster Ace Venturer is waiting on Jordan Spieth to win the Farmers Insurance Open for a tremendous 369-1 double. His top tip for the Qatar Masters was Sergio Garcia at 8-1 and in fact he wrote “I can’t see passed the Spaniard” before giving his reasoning. Garcia...
GOLF: QATAR MASTERS/FARMERS INSURANCE OPEN TIPS
A STUPID ruling cost Rory McIlroy the win at the Abu Dhabi Championship last week and prevented me off to a great start to the season. However, we got a good place with Joost Luiten who didn’t seem to do much wrong while finishing sixth. This week I can’t...
GOLF: ABU DHABI BETTING TIPS
ANOTHER year, another dollar. Let's see if we can make some this season. First up is the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship in the first of the “Desert Swing” tournaments with a stellar field which includes world No.3 Henrik Stenson, Phil Mickelson (4), Rory McIlroy (6) and Sergia Garcia (10)....
GOLF: THIS WEEK’S BETTING TIPS
WHAT a weekend that was. Double bogeys and triple bogeys were the story of my selections in the Dunhill. Then there was Darren Fichardt with a 10 at the 18th in the second round while he was among the leaders. He missed the cut by one! Hopefully we can...
GOLF: ALFRED DUNHILL BETTING TIPS
WE were knocking at the door again last week but nobody wanted to let us in. What was Hennie Otto my 25-1 antepost tip – doing? He really Otto know better! Leading the South African Open by two with four holes to play he bogeyed 15 and double-bogeyed 16...
GOLF: SOUTH AFRICAN OPEN TIPS
IF there’s one thing I’ve learned from last week it’s stick with your first pick. At least we had an each-way with Ian Poulter and Jamie Donaldson nearly did us a favour. I talked up Henrik Stenson but his wrist problems put me off. This week we turn our...
GOLF: DP WORLD TOUR TIPS
WELL we got close last week with a third (Justin Rose) and fifth (Ian Poulter) after some great golf action, especially from shock winner Victor Dubuisson, so let’s see if we can hit the jackpot this week. A couple of months ago I thought Rose and Henrik Stenson would...
GOLF: TURKISH AIRLINES OPEN TIPS
LAST week wasn’t great but at least Martin Kaymer gave us a run for our money and almost an each-way place. Hopefully we can recoup some of our money at the Turkish Airlines Open which has enticed favourite Tiger Woods (9-2, general), Ian Poulter, Lee Westwood and Charl Schwartzel...
In December 2020 we sadly lost our great friend Mr Fixit (Paul Jain).
