Arnold Palmer: Marking Your Card

At Golf Betting System towers we find nothing more frustrating. Its Sunday evening and the tournament is heating up. You reach for the Doritos and then you hear it! The commentator says "This guy always plays well at this tournament. Its his favourite tournament as he lives a stones throw from the 18th Green!" Marking Your Card each week will give you the insight you NEED to know prior to you making your betting selections.

Home Boys Rule at Bay Hill!

Take the Top 3s from the Arnold Palmer event over the past 5 years. 10 of the 15 players have homes in Florida. Thats right 66%!!! We'd suggest there that the contenders this week are likely to live in the Sunshine State.

Players listed below all have their US base in Orlando, so this is their 'home' event:

Stuart Appleby, Daniel Chopra, Robert Gamez, Retief Goosen, Charles Howell III, Trevor Immelman, Lee Janzen, Zach Johnson, Peter Lonard, Greg Owen, Ian Poulter, Justin Rose and Tiger Woods.

Players listed below all have their US base in Florida:

Robert Allenby, Briny Baird, Bart Bryant, Mark Calcavecchia, Brian Davis, Ken Duke, Jim Furyk, Brian Gay, Paul Goydos, Ryuji Imada, Richard S Johnson, Jeff Klauk, Greg Kraft, Will MacKenzie, Steve Marino, Rocco Mediate, Nick O'Hern, D.A. Points, Brett Quigley, Vijay Singh, Nicholas Thompson, Marc Turnesa, and Boo Weekley.

Add to the list Stephen Ames whose formative golf years were in Florida College Golf. David Duval was raised in Florida. The following players all have strong connections with this particular part of Florida, as they are Nona or Isleworth GC Members. Whats this? Effectively they are Tavistock Cup players who played at the event last week and have access to accomodation in the private golf commune, Graeme McDowell, JB Holmes, and Ben Curtis.

On recent history the contenders are in HERE!
