Sean’s Previous Thread

This has details of handicaps etc.  EDIT. Excuse my forgetfulness in not giving Sean the full credit for booking the courses and hotel, and in other words making this whole thang happ'n.   You will be missed, thanks Sean.


I’ve started a new one to focus on details, which can be updated right to the end. We do have two more guests and some club members to join in and they will be added later as soon as details of which sessions they'll be at are confirmed.

Note please read below and check I’ve got you down for the right details and that you are happy with the food that’s been arranged.


Hotel
I will be at the hotel from about 6pm on Tuesday 18th and I’m staying until Saturday AM.

No restaurants have been booked for Tuesday or Friday nights.   Unfortunately I don’t believe the hotel has a bar so we can scout the locality on the first night.  I believe there’s a good choice of local dining.  If anyone wants to meet up on Tuesday please let me know but I plan to be in the lobby about 7pm.

Wednesday 19th September. It Starts!

“At Alwoodley do not make the mistake of confusing Stroke Index with Degree of difficulty. These indices were devised in 1907 when golf was only matchplay (and they still work very well today)!”

Ryder Cup venue.


Weather in GB currently best it’s been all summer, no major changes predicted.

Not long now and I’m looking forward to it enormously.

[Mark Pearce]

The excitement builds.

Don't count on the weather, though: http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/HOME/

[Lloyd_Cole]

I'm afraid I'll have to withdraw from the Cup.
I'm not well.
Sincere apologies to all.

[Philip Gawith]

Lloyd - this is wrenching news! I am sorry you are poorly and sad for the rest of us as we will miss your company. Are you sure we can't conjure up a speedy recovery/persuad you to look at things differently?

[Lloyd_Cole]

Lloyd - this is wrenching news! I am sorry you are poorly and sad for the rest of us as we will miss your company. Are you sure we can't conjure up a speedy recovery/persuad you to look at things differently?

Absolutely rotten shuff, I agree. Impossible to do this last minute, though. If I don't rest now, I'm unlikely to improve, but if I'm to come, I have so much to do that I couldn't possibly rest now. And then there is still no guarantee the knee is good...

[Michael Whitaker]

Lloyd - So sorry to learn that you are feeling ill. We will all miss you. Here's hoping you have a speedy recovery which will allow you to reconsider and join us... even as a partial participant.

[Craig Disher]

LC, Echoing Philip, your absence will be a loss to the event - but do take care and get well. Is the concert in Leeds still on your schedule?

[Tony_Muldoon]

Commiserations Lloyd, to look forward to something all year and then have it snatched away!  Hopefully you will make a speedy recovery.  You are officially now a Captain in waiting.


Let us know if you feel you  can play any part...

[wsmorrison]

Lloyd, hopefully it wasn't a few too many beers and the creole food in Philadelphia that led to your illness.  If its your knee, I wish you a speedy recovery.

[Lloyd_Cole]

LC, Echoing Philip, your absence will be a loss to the event - but do take care and get well. Is the concert in Leeds still on your schedule?

Craig
The golf must be axed to rest and be well for the concert. If I get worse and have to cancel, I will relay news. I expect, if all goes to plan, to visit you'all at Moortown on the Friday at lunch.

“WANTED

Captain for bunch of fine athletes who due to the sad indisposition of their front man are currently leaderless.

The ideal candidate will possess
   -     a true heart with “Albion” tattooed across it.
-   a sound game of golf (Ok a bag of clubs)
-   experience of the fever pitch of emotions generated during this internationally renowned sporting contest
-   the guile to negotiate hard with their opponent’s man.  Someone who can outwit the oppositions ‘foxy’ leader; who after Captaining the loosing team last time, now appears as leader of the defending side?

A sense of humour is both desirable and necessary.


Candidates can reply in confidence to the writer or complete a form below.”

[Mark Bourgeois]

Supporters of Tim Henman, England football, and Eddie Edwards need not apply.

[Rich Goodale]

Since I'm more English than Greg "I'm NOT a Lumberjack" Rusedski, and want to ensure that I will be Captain of the winning team (regardless of the score), I'll volunteer.  If necessary, I'll play with myself in the Singles.......

[Tony_Muldoon]

That probably wouldn’t raise too many eyebrows but what if word got home about you playing away in a Threesome?

[Mark Pearce]

Leadership's a heavy burden.  However, only 5 Englishmen are playing all three days of the competition.  Of those, one is my guest, Conrad Gamble, so we can discount him.

I'm a BUDA virgin and experience in these things is crucial, so that's me out of the reckoning.

Which leaves a choice between messrs Chaplin, Mitchell and Goby, all veterans of previous BUDAs.  Mark and Andrew are more regular posters, so preferably one of them.  But which one?  Andrew has experience of captaincy, which favours him, but won't be staying with the team, which may be bad for morale.  Perhaps co-captains?

[Tony_Muldoon]

Heavy burden true, (what? as far as I can figure it out the most onerous thing you have to do is eat breakfast with Rich each morning) but on the up side you do get to recite this in the changing room each morning.

Go on you know you want to.

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead.
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;
Let pry through the portage of the head
Like the brass cannon; let the brow o'erwhelm it
As fearfully as doth a galled rock
O'erhang and jutty his confounded base,
Swill'd with the wild and wasteful ocean.
Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide,
Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit
To his full height. On, on, you noblest English.
Whose blood is fet from fathers of war-proof!
Fathers that, like so many Alexanders,
Have in these parts from morn till even fought
And sheathed their swords for lack of argument:
Dishonour not your mothers; now attest
That those whom you call'd fathers did beget you.
Be copy now to men of grosser blood,
And teach them how to war. And you, good yeoman,
Whose limbs were made in England, show us here
The mettle of your pasture; let us swear
That you are worth your breeding; which I doubt not;
For there is none of you so mean and base,
That hath not noble lustre in your eyes.
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'

[Mark Bourgeois]

Author! Author!

And please elaborate re "...or close up the wall with our English dead."  Is this some kind of favor being asked of ROW? A mercy killing peut-etre?

[James Bennett]

Tony

re the Captaincy.

Why not take the normal English approach (I know you are not English) and pick a South African.

James B

[Mark Bourgeois]

Ha! Ha! Ha! Or a Swede.

[Tony_Muldoon]

Come on now guys the ROW have started the sledging (and JB's not even playing). .  The gauntlet is thrown down.

Basically the Captain determines the order his team goes out and (hopefully) accepts the Trophy from a world famous Troubadour on Friday lunchtime.   (All that hair shirt stuff has been dropped).


If Bill McBride's friends Tom and Tom are reading this could you call me and let me know if you can join us for the dinner at the Club Thursday night.  00 44 (0) 7973 919809.



(Mark did you mean a Turnip? - usually it's the managers who are vegtables )

[Rich Goodale]

Our inspiration is more contemporary and less wordy.

"There is no need to sally forth, for it remains true that those things which make us human are, curiously enough, always close at hand. Resolve then, that on this very ground, with small flags waving and tinny blast on tiny trumpets, we shall meet the enemy, and not only may he be ours, he may be us."

What hack wrote that "Once more into the breech..." drivel anyway?

What hack wrote that "Once more into the breech..." drivel anyway?

Sept. 9, 2007

Veteran British actor SIR DEREK JACOBI is convinced WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE's plays were written by more than one person - and is demanding further investigation into the playwright's life. The Gladiator star has signed a 287-strong petition on a "declaration of reasonable doubt" about the authorship of his plays, including MACbeth, Romeo + Juliet and Othello. The Shakespeare Authorship Coalition hopes this will instigate further research into the issue, which questions whether a 16th Century commoner raised in an illiterate household could have written plays about the upper classes and the law without referring to his own background. Jacobi says, "I subscribe to the group theory. I don't think anybody could do it on their own."

[Tony_Muldoon]

Mark the relevance to GCA is clear.

"None of Shakespeare’s manuscripts survives, so the printed texts of his plays are our only source for what he originally wrote. The quarto editions are the texts closest to Shakespeare’s time. Some are thought to preserve either his working drafts (his foul papers) or his fair copies. Others are thought to record versions remembered by actors who performed the plays, providing information about staging practices in Shakespeare’s day."

i.e. without the original blueprints it is impossible to say who did what.  Some claim Old Tom Morris was really a drug taking sprinter from Canada.

[Tony_Muldoon]

Cometh the hour, cometh the man...

Congratulations and step forward Mark Pearce



you know I really think he looks like an England Captain

[Tony_Muldoon]

Latest news.

Mystery guest coming on 19th!

Also you have to read this.  The last line says it all but I do think this famous lurker missed off one important upcoming event.
