GOLF IN THE UK

The royal game of golf has undergone a tremendous transformation over the past centuries or decades, the transformation from VIP sports to popular mass sports and not just in the UK.

Great Britain, a country full of history, impressive personalities, historic and interesting beautiful cities, pretty little fishing villages, beautiful landscapes - from rugged wild romantic to lovely green - and above all, unique golf courses. In Scotland, for example, is the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews, the grandfather of all golf courses or golf clubs. The magnet for any golfer is definitely the opportunity to play on the Old Course.

St. Andrews itself is a pretty village with historic buildings such as the ruins of the old cathedral and castle, etc. Scotland itself is well known for cities such as Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee, Inverness etc. but also for attractions like the famous Loch Ness - maybe you also meet Nessie? -, the Highlands, Melrose Abbey, Edinburgh Castle, Eilean Donan Castle, Loch Lomond etc.

  • The Woodhall Spa Golf Club at Woodhall Spa in County Lincolnshire is a golf course that makes life difficult even for top-notch golfers, with bunkers that are man-deep and therefore a daunting challenge.
  • The landscape in Lincolnshire is more agricultural, but you can also take a leisurely trip to the lake to relax in cozy fishing villages and maybe even taste delicious fish. The capital of the county is Lincoln. You can see it here u.a. the Newport Arch, Lincoln Castle, the cathedral, the market halls from the Middle Ages and much more. Throughout the county you will find many beautiful old mansions and castles.
  • The Swinley Forest Golf Club at Ascot in County Berkshire is a highly exclusive private club. If you know a member, you come in as a guest. It has the most beautiful course in the UK and the golf course is built on sand. Rich green and forest alternate. A detour to Ascot is worthwhile in any case and not only on the highly venerable racecourse.
  • The County of Berkshire is home to many interesting places, including. Windsor - where Windsor Castle is well worth a visit -, Sandhurst - home to the well-known military academy -, Newburg, Maidenhead and more. Kent is home to the Royal St. George Golf Club in Sandwich. Here you can indulge in history and history - just like 100 years ago - and play golf. Hilly greenery, natural valleys and small pots form its image. The County's attractions include the white cliffs of Dover, the gardens of Sissinghurst Castle, Canterbury Cathedral, Leeds Castle, etc. Known places in Kent include Sandwich, Maidstone, Canterbury, Ramsgate, Tunbridge Wells, Folkstone and others.
  • In Wales is the Royal St. David's Golf Club, Harlech. This golf course is a challenge despite its approx. 13000 m total area or 6500 yards. It is the best and most beautiful place in Wales with a beautiful view of the Snowdonia mountains, trees, coastal scenery, etc. Worth seeing in the near and further surroundings are for example Harlech Castle, the old Roman Amphietheater in Caerleon, the 3 national parks Snowdonia National Park, Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, Brecon Beacons National Park etc. Well-known cities in Wales are for example the capital Cardiff, Swansea, Newport, Rhondda Cynon Taff etc.

Golf Tips And Tricks

  • With most of the biggest golf tournaments in the world having dozens of entrants, it goes without saying that selecting the winner is going to be a challenge. But there are ways to make sure the amount in your betting site accounts is going up rather down and this is where we can help you out here at BettingTop10.
  • Research is always going to be beneficial when betting on any type of sport and golf is no different, so it is always worth taking a bit of time to carry out research before betting.
  • All golfers have their preferred courses and tournaments when they play better, so take time to learn about when individuals might be likely to thrive when studying golf betting odds.
  • Some top golfers will also play better than others in certain types of conditions. For example, if it is particularly cold or windy or if there is some rain in the air, with the bad weather making it harder to judge their shots.
  • The course is a big factor in which golfers are going to score well too, as some of them are deliberately designed to suit those who can hit long, powerful drives off the tee, while others will play more into the hands of those individuals who have a very strong short game.
  • British and Irish golfers tend to be more used to the conditions on a links course compared to their rivals from around the globe, so keep this in mind for tournaments on courses such as Royal Troon, St Anne’s, Carnoustie, Royal Birkdale, St Andrews, Muirfield and Tralee, for example.

Golf Odds

  • As with all other sports that can be gambled on in the UK, you have the choice of having your odds displayed in either a decimal or a fraction format when you are placing bets on golf.
  • Traditional bookies will usually show their odds in fraction form, while exchange betting sites will instead offer them in decimal format, but you can usually change between the two in the settings of your account, whichever is your personal preference.
  • For those who are brand new to gambling and need a quick explanation of how odds work with bookmakers, let’s use the example of picking out a golfer to win a tournament at a price of 10/1.
  • This means that for every £1 you decide to put on the individual, you would win £10 back if he lifted the trophy at the end of the day’s play on Sunday.
  • The number on the left represents your stake and the right number is the winnings, so it’s always easy to work out the potential profit in placing bets on golf. It is completely up to you whether you choose to have prices displayed in decimal or fraction format and it will not affect how much you can win on golf betting.
