Adam Scott on the 6th green watched by Colin Montgomerie at Loch Lomond Golf Club, July 09, 2009

It is the 27th destination to host a European Tour event on the 2009 Schedule.

Our picture editor banks at Barclays as does Roger the mechanic that works on the corner.

The event was first played in 1961 and will be the 46th edition.

The tournament was not played between 2002-2004 but returned in 2005 and won by Adam Scott.

Our very own Industry Insider played the Sentosa course and shot a brilliant 54 on the front nine which included six straight doubles. He did how ever follow it up with a respectable 41 on the back.

The event, the richest National Open in Asia is co-sanctioned with the Asian Tour.

This will be the 58th tournament sanctioned between The European and Asian Tour since the first one in 1999.

Singapore is well used to hosting European Tour events.

The 1993 and 1996 Johnnie Walker Classic were staged at Singapore Island and Tanah Merah respectively. From 2001-2007 the Singapore Masters was held; 2001 at Singapore Island and 2002-07 at Laguna National G&CC.

This week, Chav explains his disappointment that he couldn't defend the tournument last year because of the Ryder Cup.

Every time I study Tigers stats on PGATOUR.com something doesn't add up.

Get this, of the 93 individual statistics the PGA record, the chosen one is ranked first a massive, 38 times. Although beyond impressive, it's the fact he is ranked 22nd in putts per round and his driving accuracy is 83rd that got me... He's not brilliant at either driving or putting and yet he's still (rightfully) player of the year.

I once helped convince my boss to spend £7,000 on Ian Poulter's golf clubs. It turned out rather nicely for the charity auction, not so much for us...

We were a small company that struggled to pay the bills, the betting started slowly so we decided to outbid ourselves? From £1,000 to £3,000 to £5,000. Eventually we 'won' at £7,000. Genius.

The golf clubs eventually got nicked from the office. What I learned? Auctions are a bad mixer with wine and don't trust workies.

Check out the IGWT charity auction advice below, then 'win' yourself a weekend fishing trip with Boo Weekly by posting a private bid here.

Rule 1. Believe nothing and check everything.

Rule 2. Assume the reserve price is exaggerate.

Rule 3. Don't let the auctioneer know too much.

Rule 4. Research the true value.

Rule 5. Get legal advice.

Rule 6. Don't bid too soon.

Rule 7. Your highest price should remain a secret.

That's right exclusive access to Ian Poulter's closet!

A sneak peak into the wardrobe of the most famously dressed golfer in the world. We just had to ask for a tour of his closet and garage. Why the garage? Because all his shoes won't fit in the closet!
