Rather than go to the planned venue of Morocco we decided to visit Breadsall Priory in Derbyshire. The 3 days proved a great success and thanks must go to organiser Deano, who put a tremendous effort into switching venues. Dave Hulme, unfortunately couldn't play through injury, organised the two competing Red and Blue teams, the daily draw, compiled results and became the "Stats" man, which gave Phil a break from the stress involved.... a must in his condition!!!The main event is always the Red v Blue team game with the winner taking the RYDOG Cup. The team comp runs on a similar format to the Ryder Cup plus individual comps each day, an overall Order of Merit and Eclectic, with Andy organises a putting comp and Tony W. promoting a 3 day Par 3 comp. So it's a hectic exciting time for all involved.
The Red Team were lead by Captain Paul Farey, and appeared on paper to have a wealth of golfing experience (all the old geezers) and from left to right:
