The Buda Cup for 2017 will be held at Littlestone GC and Rye GC on August 12-14. The event is limited to 24 golfers.


Here's the schedule:

12 August - Littlestone GC - Arrive 9:00 for 9:34 start

Bacon roll & coffee on arrival
18 holes foursomes or greensomes
Light lunch available
18 holes 4-bbb
Dinner in clubhouse dining room 7PM (jacket & tie req'd)

13 August - Rye GC - Arrive 8:30 for 9:00 start, probably split tees

18 holes - foursomes
Lunch in clubhouse (jacket & tie req'd)
18 holes - foursomes with the option of playing the excellent Jubilee course

14 August - Littlestone GC - Arrive 10:30 for 11:14 start

Bacon roll & coffee on arrival
18 holes - 2-ball match play
Lunch available in clubhouse

The cost will be 170GBP at Littlestone and 92GBP at Rye. We will arrange a casual dinner, probably at a local pub near Rye, on Sunday night. There are numerous options for accommodations in Rye, less so at Littlestone which is 10 miles away.

There is substantial interest in arranging games at other courses. Here is a spreadsheet which I'll update as information is received.  http://tinyurl.com/z9gdmav

Craig

Well done.

If you are taking part-timers I would like to play Saturday PM, all-day Sunday and maybe Monday AM, but would spend the night Sunday regardless.  Let me know if this is okay.

Ciao

[Mark Pearce]

Thanks Craig.  This should be an excellent BUDA.  Please put me and Conrad Gamble down for it.

[James Boon]

Excellent work Craig, count me in!


Cheers,


James

[David McIntosh]

Craig,

Thanks for the update - very well done.

Will there be the option to play the PM foursomes round on the Old Course at Rye on 13 August?

[Craig Disher]

Craig,

Thanks for the update - very well done.

Will there be the option to play the PM foursomes round on the Old Course at Rye on 13 August?

David

Yes. There is another 2-round match on Sunday so the courses will be slightly crowded. I think some will want to play the Jubilee - it's an easier walk for the weary and it's also worth seeing. There are holes on the Jubilee that are exceptional.

[Ally Mcintosh]

Excellent Craig.

Please count me in if you will accept me bowing out of the Monday singles. Will be there three nights and full day Saturday and Sunday but have to leave early Monday morning.

Ally

[Ben Stephens]

Excellent work Craig, count me in!


Cheers,


James

Me too

[Thomas Dai]

Well done Craig.
Any thoughts on pre or post Buda golf? In particular it would be nice experience to play all the shots on at least one round while at Rye.

[Philip Gawith]

Thanks Craig, weekend timing suits my schedule so count me in for now, though like Sean I might be a part-timer (? Monday) if there is room.


I wonder how many of us would be returnees after last Littlestone event which was ?? 2005 I think?!


Philip

Craig,


Great job. Sign up me and my buddy Jack Weiner.


We are hoping to get to Sandwich and Deal if others are going there.


We also would like to try Swinley Forest and any other London area courses that others are going to play.


We would love to go to a football game.

[Tommy Williamsen]

I think this is something I can do. I love Rye and would like a chance to get back at it. It beat me up pretty bad tha one time I played it. If I come all that way I'd like to play elsewhere as well. Hope it works out.

[Tony_Muldoon]

Excellent work Craig.  I’d love to be there.

I'm happy to host at Deal afterwards.  Tuesday is a two ball day so more foursomes?  Monday PM 4 Balls allowed, but it would be a late round. TBC.

Then I’m off to Scotland. Anyone interested in a day at Carnoustie on the Thursday or Friday? You can’t book as a single and the best deals involve playing two of the courses on the same day.  The Burnside is well worth a game and The Open is set for the Championship course in 2018.

NB Great to see some long lost names putting their hand up.  It's upto Craig but it is worth pointing out priority is normally given to those who commit to playing all rounds.

[Robin_Hiseman]

Nice work Craig. Looking forward to it.

LIke Ally, I can commit to Saturday and Sunday, but won't be able to make Monday.

[Tom Kelly]

If there is space for a newcomer and a part-timer?! Then like a few others, I would be interested in the Saturday and Sunday games but wouldn't be able to make the Monday.

[Max Sternberg]

Interested as well. Still finalizing the work schedule but am planning on heading across the pond in August and would love to incorporate this into the trip.

[BCrosby]

Craig -


I'm in.


Bob

[Jason Topp]

How are you doing on numbers?  I am really interested but have some negotiating to do.

[Craig Disher]

How are you doing on numbers?  I am really interested but have some negotiating to do.

Jason - The numbers usually don't matter at this point but those who commit to play all 3 days are almost assured of a spot. I didn't attend the last Buda but at the ones I have attended we always seem to be down a player or two. So far we have less than 24 who are interested, some certain they will come, some uncertain, and some available for less than all 3 days. If you want to play, I'd suggest you start your negotiations.

[Giles Payne]

Craig,


I'm in


Giles

[John Mayhugh]

Craig,

Thanks for all your work on this.  Please add me to the list.

[Steve Wilson]

Planning on being there for all the golf and festivities.

[James Boon]

Has anyone who knows the area any ideas regarding accommodation?


Would be good if we can all, or the majority of us at least, be in the same hotel? Or perhaps a large self catering cottage like at St Enodoc?


Thoughts?


Cheers,


James
