St. Sofia Golf Club & Spa - the sweet escape from the big city

Just sit and enjoy

St. Sofia Golf and Spa club house

St. Sofia golf course is the first certified 18 holes golf course in Bulgaria. Built in 2004, it laid the foundation for building the golf community in Bulgaria. Only 30 minutes from the center of capital Sofia, St. Sofia golf and SPA provides you a great opportunity to escape from your busy day and enjoy the game you like.

The first thing that will attract your attention when you arrive on the golf complex is the Clubhouse. Build in colonial style, it reveals a magnificent view over the golf course and Vitosha Mountain. In the Clubhouse you will find lobby bar and a restaurant where you can enjoy international or traditional Bulgarian cuisine and a great collection of vines.

Water is key factor on several holes

The course was reopened in 2012 after it was designed by the 2014 Europe Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley and now it offers a par 71 layout with plenty of risk-reward holes.   It opens with a par 5, where the accuracy from the tee is crucial.

World Golf Championships-Dell Technologies Match Play - Round of 16 Betting tips

The group stage from the 2018 Dell Technologies Match Play Championship is in the history and now it's time for the real fun - the knockout rounds. Some of the favorites had troubles and failed to escape from their group. The world number one Dustin Johnson finished last in his group after he lost all 3 matches in group 1. Rory McIlroy, John Ram, Hideki Matsuyama, Jason Day, Tommy Fleetwood, Paul Casey and Phil Mickelson also failed to advance to the next round.
Round of 16 and Round of 8 will be played today and here are my betting tips for the incoming matches.

1. Kiradech Aphibarnrat vs Charles Howell III
Winner: Kiradech Aphibarnrat, odds: 1.80

Aphibarnrat won all 3 matches in his group and showed some good form so far in Austin. The young Thai player enjoys the match play format and he has pretty good match play record: 10-5-2 compared to Charles Howell III 9-10-0.  Kiradech has already tasted the success of a match play tournament by winning the 2015 Paul Lawrie Match Play Championship.

Arnold Palmer Invitational betting tips

Tomorrow starts one of the most popular events on the PGA tour - the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Bay Hill is favorite destination for many of the top players in the world who use this big stage to see where their game is just before the Masters - the first major of the year.

This is one of the biggest events on the PGA tour and there are many choices and markets  offered by the leading bookmakers. Here are my 3 tips for this week Arnold Palmer Invitational.

1. Tiger Woods first round score - 69 & under, odds: 2.10

Tiger is 8 times winner at this event and his total score for the 8 years he won is 88 under par. Tiger's comeback is well under way and he is coming from tied for 2nd at last week Valspar Championship. The weather on Thursday is expected to be sunny and calm which promises great scoring conditions.
