GM Ryder Cup Scotland V England Match 15 & 16th Oct 2010

[DCB]

Right gents we now have a venue, Goswick Golf Club, and this match will be held on the above dates at Berwick upon Tweed (Goswick)Golf Club.

It has been assumed that the original protagonists will wish to return and either uphold the honour, or like me, actually try and win a point this time. Those who played last time are listed below and are asked to confirm their intentions with regard to this years event asap.

DCB Yes (2010)
Dodger Yes
J_F Yes
TOMO21
SS2
StuartD
Madandra Yes
Toad Yes
Bonto
Fraser
gjbike Yes
IMO2 Yes
MurphTM Yes
Robo
Tincup
TonyN Yes
Vig Yes
Viscount17
Doh
Mike Yes
Screwback (Our Man on the ground this year) Yes


With that in mind, we’ve squeezed as much as we can out of the club to get 32 places. That gives us 8 fourball matches.

Golf....we are looking to play this in a Ryder Cup sort of style with 18 holes Better Ball on the Friday teeing off approx 1.30pm then find somewhere to eat and a few ales back in town then a further 18 holes Better Ball on Saturday teeing off approx 10.00am.

Costs....we have again secured a heavily discounted rate of £40 for the golf which we must thank Goswick for.

We have it from a good source that Goswick will still be in great condition at this time of year.

Invites are of course extended to all and it would be especially nice to have some of the GM team at the meet this year as they missed out last time round.

Whilst it is a Scotland vs England match, it’s still a just another excuse to get out there and play golf. If numbers are mismatched, we may need volunteers to play for the other side !

Sounds great DCB. I was playing with Fraser yesterday and he'll get back to me later today to confirm if he can make it. Put me and him down as "almost certain" and I'll PM you when I get confirmation.

Looking forward to it already. For those considering coming along, the course is fantastic and the night out on the town is equally entertaining !

 

[StuartD]

Well Done Dave.

Count me in.

 

[DCB]

KHW, Bordergolfer,

I've added your names to a different list, list given on original post was for confirmation of who was looking to attend from original event. Giving them first chance to rejoin combat over the links.

Anyone else want to play, add your name to this list.

I cant wait for another visit to the Indian Curry House .... its not every day you laugh so hard that Mango Chutney comes down your nose but Vig and SS2 had me in stitches.

Lads, get yer name down and come along for a right good couple of days.

Ah yes, the infamous Mango chutney incident. That was caused by us repeatedly asking Fraser (who lost 10 & 8) if he had not even managed to half a single hole.

DCB, you realise that the 15th/16th October is the end of the October week (at least in my neck of the woods) and that might cause problems. ?

 

[tincup]

Good man for organising this DCB.
Count me in as a definate after thoroughly enjoying it last time

Yes, aware of it, that weekend falls at end of Glasgow(West Coast) school hols and start of Edinburgh (East Coast) hols, the next weekend is start of English mid term so that affects things through to the end of the month.

Gents, I have to say, Screwback has been very helpfull in getting this off the ground as well, it's a team effort

Just to let any of the guys who have not been before that the Castle Hotel is only £37 per room with En-Suit and bed and breakfast, and they have a few rooms left, Tel 01289 307900, its only a short walk to the pubs and curry house

Please put me down on the additions list. Cheers

Dave do you have to play in both days ? As o could only make the Saturday

 

[DCB]

SteveK,

As J_F stated last time around,

"Just one thing not mentioned. Think it should be noted that everyone has the option to play either one or both rounds according to what time they have available.

If you want to just play on the Saturday, for example, you could join up on the Saturday morning.... or take a half day off and stay over on Friday night for "a few small sherries" and be up and ready for the early Saturday morning start."

Same stands for this year, although we'd obviously like to keep the numbers as balanced as possible to make best use of our allocated tee times. We'd certainly struggle to get any more tee times on the Saturday morning I'd have thought.

 

[Dodger]

Yes thanks Dave,I will post a list of Hotels,B&B's etc for anyone needing this info when I get a minute....if you are looking for anyone to play for England I aint ya man!

 

[John_Findlay]

Great to have the extra tee times given the interest shown last year, Dave. And of course with 32 points available instead of 20 it provides the opportunity for a 25-7 win instead of 13-7.
