It’s been an amazing golf season, with eagerly anticipated fixtures fulfilling all expectations, as the Ulstermen, McIlroy and Clarke, showed their worth and attracted a lot of bets, as well as South African Charl Schwartzel and American Keegan Bradley. All of these players were winners of maiden Majors honours, which was generally good for the online bookmakers but bad for punters betting on these events; the favourites failing to win usually results in a good day for the bookie.

The Barclays Scottish Open golf from July 7-10, 2011 at Castle Stuart, Inverness, Scotland. The Barclays Scottish Open is part of the European Tour and the BSO will be the 30th tournament of a very extensive 52 event golf tour – one for each week of the year.

Golf’s European Tour is no stranger to betting fans with player standings changing regularly after each tournament on the tour so plenty of excellent odds and bets on offer especially on the internet.

After the Masters and the US Open, it is now the UK’s turn to host a golf Major, at the Royal St George’s golf club in Kent and with the rise and rise of Ulsterman, Rory McIlroy, online bookmakers are licking in their lips in anticipation of the start the tournament, 14th July until 17th July.

The second golf Major of the season, the US Open, gets underway at the Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland and golf betting will be huge for this event, the second oldest Major in golf history. This tournament is on the golf schedule to take place on the dates of 16th to 19th June and 2011 US Open golf betting should be record-breaking.

South African, Charl Schwartzel, walked off with the first Major of the season, the Masters, earlier this year and this event looks to be as open with the possibility of some good value punts and top odds, when making 2011 US Open golf bets.
