Another year over and 2004 wasn't quite as hot as 2003 when we made a profit of over £1000. Betting, like golf, is all about 'if only'! We tipped Mickelson and Garcia for a win only and they gassed it to finish 2nd. On place bets we had 5 tied 6ths and four times our winning tip tied 4th or 5th with several other players and we did not earn as much as normal. But hey, that's golf!

Shown below is the performance of our tips based on a nominal £20 bet per week (£20 win or £10 win and £10 for a top-5 place). This year's betting partner used decimal odds, so if you bet £10 at 2.1, you win £21 including your stake.
