Year 18 for TipAndWin as we enter 2023 and a change of direction for me as I move away from a weekly tips format.
Despite my successes (£24,000 profit for members since 2005) I have neither the time nor the inclination to continue offering tips and the market is saturated with blogs, Twitter accounts and others who have the time to produce detailed analysis of potential winners each week so I have decided to leave that particular field to them. I might offer the occasional first round leader fancy or a dart on a player in a major but then again, mibbee not!
Instead my focus will be on the two successful ‘games’ on the website…..
The Sunday Six – head to the 19th Hole to try and win a fantastic two night break with golf at a yet to be confirmed Scottish golf gem – all you need to do is pick a 6 man team of European Tour players and you will pick up points each time they finish inside the top 6. Five runners up will also win a Home of Golf goodie bag.
Last Man Golfing – if cold hard cash is more your thing then a visit to the Pro Shop to enter my Last Man Golfing competition will tick all your boxes. The format is simple – pay a tenner, pick a player to finish inside the weekly cut-off point (eg top 30 finish) and the Last Man Golfing takes home the kitty – over £8,000 has been handed out in the last three years!
