Back with a bang?

So that's Hawaii out of the way, now on to the season proper. Only a week to wait and meantime, it's the annual Bing Crosby Celebrity marathon. No doubt we'll be treated to clips of Bill Murray, Kevin Costner and random football jocks goofing around various private courses set in improbable surroundings? Can hardly wait.

It's not normally a betting proposition as the celebs do tend to get in the way plus, as usual, it's a less than stellar field. So much so that even the TAB have opened at $17 the field. With Charles Howell III rated only $24. He can't win, surely.

I'm really surprised that last weeks winner Ryan Palmer is $51. He was solid down the stretch this week including a near chip in for eagle at eighteen that put poor old Allenby's fragile putting stroke in the spotlight. The rest is history. Back to back wins are rare but it's a poor field and he's in form.

Happy New Year and giddy up...
