BUDA VI update

[Rich Goodale]

This post is to inform those participating (or wanting to participate) as to the current status of the event, and to explore ways we might be able to enhance the experience.  For greater detail/history please go to the "Home Page" below.

Information:

1.  We now have 25 people committed to the event, which is in fact one more than "needed" given that we have 24x5 tee times over the three days (June 16-18), but experience tells us that a bit of slack is needed if we want to fill all those times, so....
2.  If you are interested in participating, it is not too late to commit, however....
3.  If there are more than 24 wanting to play any match, priority will be given in order of entry (first come, first served), however....
4.  If we are in suich a state of serendipity, "fringe" events (i.e. golf at other nearby venues, or even non-golfing fun) can and will be arranged.
5.  Accomodation is available, dinners will be arranged, and significant pre-and apres-Buda activities are being planned.
6.  Other pleasant surprises can and will occur
7.  The 25 committees are, roughly by possible team:

The speed is illusory.  Chances to be involved are likely to extend well into the new year.  See you at Deal, if not before.

Usually there will be one or the other pull-out in these types of events, so there may even be a last-minute chance for me.

Anyone interested in playing at Dornoch later that week?  

It looks like I will be traveling with family who will be in Edinburgh during the event.  I hope to take them North after that.

Y'know, Rich, given how successful the Buda event at Painswick was, I think you'd be remiss not to corral everyone and take them to Braid Hills on one of the days. Because of course, Braid Hills is just like Painswick, only better...

Cheers,
Darren

 The dates make this a winner for a weather pussy like myself. Rihc I cannot wait to see you and the guys. This yank is coming back to UK no matter the exchange rate.

I have played Braid Hills and have alway said that if I was taking someone for a first visit.  I would start at Braid Hils just so people would see 'we aren't in Kansas anymore".
I would love to be up for a Fringe event.

That's why I've always wanted to play Prestwick but haven't been west of Edinburgh yet.

There's not a regular poster on this website who wouldn't LOVE Braid Hills. Fact. You could base the entire BUDA event around Braid Hills, just like we did Painswick, and everyone would love themselves.

(And the price absolutely is right...)
