  • Dinner on Wednesday night in the villa conference room.
  • Dinner on Saturday night at the Clubhouse.
  • Wrap-up BBQ lunch on Sunday in the Clubhouse.
  • There will be some wine, beer and whisky for everyone to share at the included dinners. All other food and beverages onsite will be charged to your room account, to be paid upon checkout.
  • We have made reservations for two other dinners:

    • Everyone will pay for their dinner these nights. A deposit of £20 per person was paid by GR for the Old Clubhouse reservation so please reimburse him for the deposit. Each of these two dinners follows upon a round of golf so we will walk from the course to the restaurant. We will be transported back to the Renaissance Club by bus after dinner.

 

Team Selection and Calcutta Information


The drawing of teams, and Calcutta will take place on Wednesday, May 7 at 9:00 PM after dinner in the conference room in the 6-room villa. This is a day earlier than usual which is necessary because of logistics. There is no defending team this year. The bidding for teams will be done in £ (Great British pounds) although payment can be made in either $US or £. The applicable exchange rate will be announced at the dinner. Team owners must pay for their team at the time of bidding. Teams can purchase 50% of their team at any time up to the first tee time for Round 1.

 

Crabs, shrimps and other crustaceans its that time of year again when all crustaceans must look into the abyss and see one of 2 things.

Either you will see evidence of your up to date USGA handicap index registered with a recognized club or you will just see the abyss. It's that simple. If you see evidence of your up to date USGA handicap index registered with a recognized club then your crustacean world is a happy place and all you need to do is provide a copy of that evidence to the supreme commander in chief of decency, handicaps, the decent folks party and all that is just and right in the world aka Seamus. End of story.

If however you just see the abyss then that is another matter. Sometimes the abyss is hard to recognize because it is a tricky, indecent, foul beast that, unlike Danny, does not "want to be good" and can disguise itself in many clever ways. It might disguise itself as any of the following and comes in infinite variations all foul, all loathsome and all needing to be crushed by goodness, rightness and decency so that the decent handicap maintaining actively playing folk can see these abominations run before them while the abominations women lament.

Examples of the abyss:

(1) oh my average score is about 95 so i am a 23;

or (2) i havent played much lately but my last round was 102 so i figure i am about a 30;

or (3) i was a 12 when i was 14 years old but i am about a 16 now.

If you see the abyss just send the word "abyss" and a guess as to your handicap.  A ruling will be made by the Star Chamber.

Update your handicap on your website profile and/or send an email to Seamus.
