Buda Cup 2015: Notts & Sherwood Forest THE FINAL RUN IN...
« on: November 25, 2014, 07:52:11 AM »
We are less than a week away from this years Buda Cup, so a last minute wrap up of who, when and where...

CONFIRMED ATTENDEES, PART TIMERS & POSSIBLES

Below are those who have confirmed for the whole event and those who have confirmed part time attendance. Unfortunately we've had a few last minute withdrawals:
[URL=http://s306.photobucket.com/user/jamesboon53/media/Misc/Buda5.jpg.html]

I've confirmed numbers above to the club. I've arranged for a past Captain at Sherwood to join us in the morning foursomes and he may join us in the afternoon, otherwise one match will be a single against a pair. The Captain of Notts GC has agreed to join us for the meal on the Tuesday and may join us for the afternoon game as well, though this could mean needing to play a 5 ball as the last group (actually quite a common occurrence at Notts).

After mentioning a buggy for Bryan (on medical grounds only Melvyn in case you are reading  ;D ) a few others have come forward with ailments. I've therefore notified the clubs that one or two may need buggies and will leave it up to discussions between those needing and the captains to how that will all pan out...

DATES & VENUES

Please make sure you are all at the club at least 20 mins to half an hour before the first tee time to avoid panic and confusion amongst captains and organiser!

Mon 17 Aug
36 holes at Sherwood Forest GC
Morning tee times from 9am: Foursomes
Afternoon tee times from 1.30pm: Fourball
Lunch provided between rounds.
Evening meal booked in Nottingham at Fothergills for 8.30pm

If anyone doesn't plan on joining us, please let me know.

Tues 18 Aug
36 holes at Notts GC Hollinwell
Followed by a formal meal at the club that evening, jacket and tie required!

Afternoon tee times from 2.04: Fourball
Lunch provided between rounds.

Wed 19 Aug
18 holes at Notts GC Hollinwell
Morning tee times from 9.04: Singles

As the weather should hopefully be warm, shorts policy at both clubs is:
"Shorts should be tailored and worn with knee length socks OR predominantly white ankle length sports socks"

ACCOMMODATION

I believe many of us are staying at Premier Inn Nottingham West
http://www.premierinn.com/en/hotel/NOTMIL/nottingham-west
Please let me know if you aren't and where you are staying.
I'm planning on meeting up at the pub at the hotel between 7 and 8 on the Sunday evening...

There is currently a room going spare on Monday night from one of our withdrawals if anyone needs accommodation, let me know.

FURTHER READING

For those of you not aware of the courses, Notts GC Hollinwell is a heathland course dating back to 1901 by Willie Park Junior, with later works by the clubs own professional Tom Williamson. Most recently the club hosted the Boys Championship which was won my Matthew Fitzpatrick before he went on to win the US Amateur Championship, and has just hosted the Brabazon Trophy. Anyone who has recently purchased a copy of Tom Doak’s Confidential Guide will also notice it sits within the Gourmet Choice, something I as a member and the club are very proud of! I know Ran is a fan of the course, but haven't been able to tempt him over for this! For further reading:

Ran’s Review:      http://golfclubatlas.com/courses-by-country/england/notts1/

Sherwood Forest GC present course dates back to 1910 and after Harry Colt’s input, most of what is in play today is the work of James Braid. Another excellent heathland course! For further reading:

It must be kept in mind that the elusive charm of the game suffers as soon as any successful method of standardization is allowed to creep in.  A golf course should never pretend to be, nor is intended to be, an infallible tribunal.

James,

Thank you for setting this going. My son, Edward, and I are keen to play. We'll probably not need overnight accommodation.

Mark.

Excellent.  Delighted to hear that all that time in the back of Conrad's car hasn't put Joe off.

Bill,

You should be the one who most recognizes the origin of the name. After all, I have to assume you have seen the dance far more often then the rest of us. He can demonstrate next time he swings driver for you.

You're joking about Mr. Happy Feet.  I was rather hoping there were females involved.

I wish I could be there, but a mid-August date will rule me out I'm afraid. Pity... as I would love to be there to see the UK team in their uniforms!

Let me be the first "Maybe" in this!

I'd love to come, but can I swing it? Won't know before Easter.

Thanks everyone, I'm glad to see plenty of interest and so I will confirm these dates with the two clubs to formalise our booking. Once I've done this I will sort out deposits and a formal booking procedure, as well as getting a little further with the accommodation scenario?

Cheers,

James

I'd love to play - I really must attend a Buda sometime soon - but we're usually in France for the last two weeks of August. Not confirmed for next year yet, though, so put me down as a possible.

I intend to try to add to my one day total of BUDA attendance to date.... But I too won't be confirming any time soon. Which - I understand - is no help if you are organising.

Therefore it will likely be a slot in if there's space closer to the time scenario.
