BGS The Ryder Jug 2015 17th October @ Druids Glen

Honoured to get the Wildcard call up Captain & looking forward to doing my bit to take the Jug back!

Changed my grip based on a youtube vid and now just got a new pair of golf shoes too.

These jokers haven't got a hope!

They're only the ones i use for getting to the course on the bike fix.

Then I switch to these

Well preparations are going well for the team.

One lad has built a shed.
Another has a naked war dance ready.
One lad has had no clubs for a while.
One guy has painted his whole house and spent way too long in bleeding IKEA.
One lad practiced in dark
Another guy worked out why he was snap hooking it - in a diagram only.
One lad has no blue shirt
And one group that expected to win lost today in a practice
One guy hasn't practiced - but made a lethal spreadsheet.
One lad - we didn't even have his number.
One lad got new shoes.
Another, very very hard balls.


McGinely look out.

Of course all of that could be a spoof , underplaying - no team would ever prepare like that :D;)

calm down lads, it was just a snap hook

Lads best of luck the weekend

Bring back that jug and don't let it go as tight as last time out.

Enjoy the game lads

Best of luck to you tomorrow. Enjoy the day. Playing druids glen myself in 3 weeks. Really looking forward to it.

Well, today was a day of fear , anticipation , nervousness, preparation, hope, laughing and tears of a child.

The build up to this has been too much, too long and tiring.

Clubs being cleaned and last minute practice and planning. Team building , bad jokes, good jokes awful jokes and singing.

Definitely Seve has created a virtual team this time. You feel you know people a little more. We are all little scared to now know them a bit more :p

But we are almost there. We are literally going to be like greyhounds in a stall.

We would love to take The Jug back - but we know we have a serious battle on our hands, as the reps were a serious outfit last year.

At the end of the day we are going to one of the best courses out there in good weather in October. We will enjoy it and have a pint with all, after.

I'm not sure I could handle a build up as big again.

Over the last 24 hours -

We had a lad up a ladder.
A Cinema trip to The Martian.
A lad playing tennis with Pimms after.
A lad with a wig drinking whiskey chasing a spider with a big stick

As for practice ,
One lad had a few chips, Scampi with them were unreal.
A rioja is on the way
Another lad has a putting mat at a house warmer, he is showing girls how to putt and line up.
One lad ran out of a driving range to stop himself buying an M1


Of course, none of that could be true - just trying to throw off "The Reps", looking in.

Catch all in the morning , the Rioja is airing.

No point in changing tradition now.

Best of Luck Team..........

May all your drives fly straight and true with all the putts dropping too.

Not our greatest day but we didn't play too bad. We were giving shots to two good golfers. We were 5 down after 9 and halved every hole after that.

Well we won one when I called them on a rule, felt bad but it was the only way we could keep going.

Could have called them on 3 others but didn't,
