On
5th/6th Sept 24 of the Ryder Cup rejects assembled at the Abbey Wood 4* Best
Western in Redditch to compete for this years honours. The competition was
played on the parkland course over 36 holes, stableford, full handicap (apart
from hitting the ball that's all I understand!!!!). Ian Dewar (LYE) was the
overall winner with 69 points. Stu Askew`s name appeared 3 times for the prize
giving, and the winner for the most golf played was won easily (he needn't have
played on day 2!!), by Stu Whitton with a 149 gross on day 1, the calculator
packed up on day 2!!
Thanks
must go to the UKMAMS Association and the Squadron for the donations towards the
prizes.
3 civvy
guests played and thoroughly enjoyed the service banter and humour, they were
still in the bar at the death.....03:00!! The food was excellent, the rooms of a
high standard, only complaint is I still haven't been given any rates!!?? Having
been voted a success both on the golf side and definitely the value for money
aspect, it was agreed to hold next year’s event at the same venue. I am willing
to arrange this again and have pencilled in mid August or end of Sept 2005. This
years deal consisted of 2 x rounds of golf, evening meal, B & B, all for £59. No
doubt prices will rise but I still believe it will be a fantastic deal.
Once
next year's info is received I hope to have the details in the next Team-Brief
and on the new movers website. In the meantime, to make my life a little easier,
if you are interested in taking part next year or have any suggestions please
let me know asap.
