What is the course fit profiling manual? The course fit manual contains 150 player and course profiles with numerical ratings derived from the official PGA and Euro Tour stats and key metrics for precision. Player ratings are in a top trumps style format and weigh the strength of each component of player's games.

This means backing multiple selections in markets with a proportional outlay so that if anyone of your selections wins we would get the same return.

Not too much from me in the Dutch Open this week. We have yet another new track to sink our teeth into - It's a heathland, pretty generous Kyle Phillips design. Phillips is the designer of the likes of Kingsbarns which has plenty of room from the markers and lends itself to low scoring. It's Brandon Stone and Lee Slattery for me before the off.
