Selections

Dutch Open 2023 - Bernardus GC

 Just the selections this week as I continue to monitor the value within the DP Tour this year. As per the first post of the year, 2023 may see a need to start looking more at the KFT, Challenge and LPGA tours going forward whilst the PGA Tour is being added to the blog more often of late. 

P&L not great at the moment with the balance for 2023 showing loss of -18.90 pts so with plenty of tournaments to get stuck into between now & September, there will be more "selections only" posts instead of previews.
