Play 'Spot the Real Daniel Chopra' ...

So where are all the celebrities then?...:
Well, they're not on the leaderboard, that's for sure. But there are a few of 'em hanging about as always at the Crosby.
Will you stop calling it the Crosby please? What are you, 85 years old?: Sorry. Well, as I was saying, there are some beautiful people about, not to mention the stunning weather.
Who was the main attraction among the celebrities?: Well he's not all that attractive really, but you had to love the comedian George Lopez with his spiked and bleached wig-visor to imitate his playing partner, the big Swindian Daniel Chopra.
That's hilarious ... What shall we call that?: Chopra himself said he was going by the name of "Chopez" the rest of the week. The Kapalua winner is 3-under by the way.
Well, the tournament needed another comedian after Bill Murray pulled out ...: Daniel Chopez will have to do then ...
I like his style. So who the hell are these other guys?: Kent Jones, Roland Thatcher, Brad Adamonis and John Mallinger?
Yeah ...: No idea. But I have an idea we'll find out if they keep playing like this. Jones, from New Mexico, is your leader at 6-under, with the other three guys a shot behind.
How about our defending champ, Phil Mickelson?:
Well, it didn't start out too good for Lefty, but he sucked it up with a birdie-eagle-birdie finish at Poppy Hills to rescue his tournament with a 71.
Anything else?: What do you think of the usual six-hour rounds at Pebble?
I think they suck.: Me too, so does Greg Norman, who grumbled his way to a 76.
Well, Greg and I agree on more than just the fact that Chrissie Evert is still hot ...: Amen to that.

Jack Lemmon just kept on hacking at Pebble ...

On this day in 1925, the Oscar-winning actor Jack Lemmon was born in an elevator in a Newton, Massachusetts hospital, and went on to a lifetime of success in Hollywood and frustration at Pebble Beach.

Lemmon's name will forever be linked to the PGA Tour's annual celebrity-fest on the Monterey Peninsula just like Bing Crosby, the tournament's first host, whose legendary parties gave the tournament (now the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am) its nickname of "The Clambake." And Lemmon was beloved by golf fans who could see themselves in the star's hapless game: The actor was an avid but fairly awful golfer ...

Cobra-Irons-S9-FP-New

 Cobra irons: see what happens if you leave them in the hands of a four-year old with a lego fixation


Cobra have unveiled new versions of their S9 and FP irons for 2008 - and they'll coming to a club near you soon, unless you're one of our readers from Qatar, that is.

The S9 irons have been designed for maximum accuracy, distance and feel while using the lightweight three-piece polymer topline to redistribute weight lower in the heel and toe. Combine that with the low profile and wide sole and you get more from the clubs than ever before.
 
The Men’s set includes 4-iron to gap wedge and will retail at £438 (steel) and £533 (graphite). This graphite version is also available for Seniors and Ladies and will include 5-iron to gap wedge.
 
Cobra’s FP range has been re-engineered to help players benefit from a balance of playability and forgiveness. The sleeker head design and full cavity backed plate with urethane membrane gives the club a great look.
 
A relieved mid-width sole design offers greater MOI and precision weighting to provide solid playability in a wide variety of conditions.
 
The Men’s set includes 4-iron to gap wedge and will retail at £346 (steel) and £415 (graphite). Like the S9 range, the Seniors and Ladies clubs are available in graphite (£415), and cover from 5-iron to gap wedge.
 
Golfers are also getting the chance to feel the Cobra’s performance as they head on a tour over 400 golf clubs in the UK between March and July.




Mickelson: so much authority off the tee the galleries salute him

This week's one of our favourite tournaments, the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. After last week's washout, we're punting more in hope than expectation, so here goes nothing!

Phil Mickelson @ 7/2:
Second place last week, only too happy to dominate matters when Tiger’s not around.

Vijay Singh @25/1:
Not so much of a hunch as a sympathy vote for an out-of-former. Come on Vijay, bring it all back!

Andres Romero @ 100/1:
We just want the titchy Argentinian to win big, sooner rather than later.

Last week’s picks:
Mike Weir (tied 43rd)
Trevor Immelman (missed cut)
Daniel Chopra (tied 43rd)



GMac: not to be confused with the iMac, the Big Mac or the Pac-a-Mac

OK, so the tournament’s already started, but you know how it is sometimes –  even The Bet Detective has eat, sleep get a train up to Wemberlee to watch Fabio and the boys in action.
This week’s tips are:

Graeme McDowell @ 14/1: We tip him all the time and he only just missed out last week, coming tied 5th.

Ernie Els @ 20/1: Already 10 shots behind the lead, but we’re betting he’ll be back in the thick of it by the weekend

Darren Clarke@ 40/1: It’s a Northern Ireland conspiracy, but we think he may figure come Sunday.

Last week’s picks:
Sergio Garcia (tied 19th)
Nick Dougherty (missed cut)
Graeme McDowell (tied 5th)
