GM Ryder Cup Goswick 2011 Arrangements

[SS2]

Times
Please try to get to Goswick by 11am on the Friday and when you arrive check in with me (I'll be there from 10am and will be surrounded by bits of paper in the clubhouse) so I can extract £35 from you (balance of green fees) and tick your name off as having arrived.

The first tee time is 12 noon.

Format
Friday: Fourball, better ball matchplay. 3/4 handicap allowance.
Saturday: Fourball, better ball stableford. 3/4 handicap allowance.

Prizes
If you want to bring something for the prize table, please do. Golf balls/accessories, alcohol, large portions of cheese, anything else really.

We will run prizes for nearest the pins at the par threes, longest drive, best team stabeford score on the Saturday + others.

Friday Night
Tradition dictates that we initially convene in a pub called Foxton's. After that it's a bit of a free-for-all - there are other pubs, indian restaurants etc etc. Tradition also dictates that at least some of the gathered GM brethren spend the night chatting up the local talent.

Saturday Times
Our tee times start at 10am so don't be late. Pairings for this to be decided by the captains sometime between the end of Friday's games and the start of Saturday's.

Pairings
Team captains John_Findlay and Vig should be working on these although the teams are not 100% finalised yet (still need a couple of people).

Any issues re team selections/strategy etc - please speak to your captain. Anything to do with the event itself - please speak to me.

DCB, I thought you were the resident GM weatherman so I've left this up to you.

[John_Findlay]

The ability to snort chutney through your nose is always well received too. Up or down, it's really up to you.

15 a side? Monty never had these problems wi' 13 days to go! Let's get that up to 16 please so that I can finalise my masterplan!

Mon Scotland!!!!!!

 

[SS2]

Team england is now complete, 16 runners. J_F: Scotland's #16 is either Madandra (if you can get hold of him to confirm if he is playing) or a.n. other

 

[Tommo21]

If we're down on one or two players I could try to get someone at short notice.....dont make it too short.

At Least Monty's players never had to worry about drawing the short straw and having to carry the captain

 

[John_Findlay]

Ooyah. That hurt. I'm deeply wounded, Stuart. A less charitable Captain would impose a fine (like playing with me)



Once we have our final 16 for Scotland (Madandra pending messages) I'll arrange something with Vig to post the team draw for the first day of matches this weekend, guys.

Can SS2 pm me final names and h/c's?

 

[SS2]

PM sent to Vig.

 

[vig]

Got it Andy, cheers.

If any of team England want to play together on the Friday, likewise if there is someone you don't want to play with, can you pm me please.

 

[Dodger]

I am afraid that due to work commitments I will be unable to play on the Friday.

If a player is found for both days then I will sit out on both but if not I can play on the Saturday.

Not particularly keen on playing with anyone Scottish, does that help?

 

[DCB]

Suits me Murph, if you beat me again, you'd need to get an acro prop to hold up the mantlepiece

 

[gjbike]

If the Scottish play golf like they play rugby no contest
