The British Open, in full swing

For those of you who haven't checked out the British Open, I recommend it highly. I understand that some like a 3-hour span of high-frequency high-liquidity in-game trading. Golf is slower paced. But there is a lot of liquidity, with the market maker showing 300 per side, and it rare to spot him withdrawing bids and offers.

And as with all the majors (the others being the Masters, the US Open, and the PGA Championship), it's FOUR whole days of fun.

Given the huge interest in the World Cup last month, I'm thinking that you get 4 big tourneys a year with a distinct international cross section (instead of just one every 3 years), plus plenty of smaller ones to trade every season. And you'll have something to chat about with future interviewers and doctors down the road.

Finally, the women's equivalent looks a little softer than the WNBA.

UPDATE: The top 3 contracts, what are you waiting for?
