Bill, Ward, et. al.,


Whilst it might be wise to wait for an official announcement from one of those who have arranged it, I was told by a reliable BUDA participant, we do trust him with the money, that it is to be the first weekend in September which by my calendar works out to the 2nd through the 4th at Carne with a round at Enniscrone.  There was talk of playing another course on the way in, but the name, other than beginning with an M, escapes me.


I can't address the walkability issue, but I'm with Ward in suggesting some recruitment of younger members, otherwise these BUDA's and other events are going to become like those family reunions that get smaller and grayer before fading away altogether.  With a year's advance notice perhaps more people can make concrete plans to be there.

Maybe one of those younger guys can carry me.....if necessary.

Bill, Steve, all,

Glad you had a great time.

I'll let Robin start a new thread when he's back from holiday but I'd nominally booked the weekend of 9th and 10th September at Carne with an intro round at Mulranny on the Friday for those who want it and a Singles at Enniscrone on the Monday to finish it off. Cost will be cheap.

Airports to Carne:
Dublin = 4 hrs
Shannon = 2.5 hrs
Knock = 1.5 hrs

As I said, Robin will drive this one.

Bill, it is not the most walkable course, purely because of the mountainous dunes. That said, it is still very walkable. The club only have a fleet of 7 buggies.

I wish I could have seen my way clear to hold off on my upcoming bucket list trip to those precincts in about 4 weeks in order to have a crack next year at a Carne Buda and competing on an all star team for that treasured trophy.  But, I feel like I have to get this trip in now while the getting is good.  Fun to see old familiars in the photos.  I'm thinking that next year the Captains should shop around a team clothing sponsor deal and have Monoxidil and Grecian Formula logos on your golf attire.  The sartorial diversity in the group photo is breathtaking.

Rather than sartorial diversity I think rag bin might more accurately describe our fashion choices.

Regarding above message, Robin will make an announcement in next few days but the weekend mentioned above has the hotel of choice booked out... So please don't make any firm plans until Robin's post...

Mike Whitaker -

Are those Kentwool socks you are wearing? Do they make knee highs?

Ha ha! Those are official Royal Cinque Ports Golf Club hose. They are very popular in Deal. I have the club tie and the hose... can't pull the trigger on anything else. The jacket is a bit shocking!

At Cavendish the day before Buda, Robin mentioned the first weekend in September as likely dates. That may well have changed, however . Looking forward to hearing about concrete dates.

I hope those shirts are waterproof, because those jackets are pissers...
