    Seeing as the support event has finished its about time we had a thread for the biggest matchplay event of the BGS year - the Ryder Jug!

    We have our 10 best players and two picks all ready to do battle on the 11th October.

    The captains picks are stevieob and myself :o It was a very tough decision as i had a lot of players i wanted to play but unfortunately as it finished up i had only one to pick.

    I have my pairings done for the match but don't think i'll post them on here unless everyone wants to see them, up to you!

    Bring it on....................and bring it home!!!:D

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,215 ✭✭✭scrubber72

    More talk.....is that possible?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,421 ✭✭✭✭Rikand


    Glad you picked Stevie. Attends every single boards outing. His dedication to the society deserves his place on the team!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,958 ✭✭✭✭FixdePitchmark


    Agree great picks.

    stevie 100 % committed. Charlie great job all year.

    He was so disappointed in MJ.

    Had a flashback there.

    Could we get little black dresses as our outfit.

    :D

    Was just thinking that I will stuggle to get a playing partner the way I'm going .

    Oh- I forgot to add that I have a tendency to miss stuff in 1 to 2 foot range. :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,958 ✭✭✭✭FixdePitchmark


    So on a serious note.

    Are you pming pairings.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 7,254 Mod ✭✭✭✭charlieIRL

    That is a serious strong team - well done Charlie.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 7,254 Mod ✭✭✭✭charlieIRL


    Its fourball, lowest guy in pairings goes off scratch and everyone adjusted down to suit.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,421 ✭✭✭✭Rikand


    Keep to yourself is right - Technodub does trawl these forums. Don't want him getting the inside track :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,634 ✭✭✭spacecoyote


    That's it lads, now start nursing those handicaps up for the next week or so ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,064 ✭✭✭✭Seve OB


    :D Honoured to be chosen as Charlies pick. I love the boards outings and you can't get bigger than the Ryder Jug.

    Look, I even changed my name for the occasion.

    The thing is, am I Seve O'Brien or Seve Out of Bounds.........:eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,882 ✭✭✭Macker1


    Looking forward to this..........

    Word of warning don't bring in Alex Ferguson for a pep talk as I won't be responsible for my actions.

    oh they can bring him alright

    he just might not get out alive :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,958 ✭✭✭✭FixdePitchmark


    I think we should have motivational lines from me and pictures of all the mods as we walk out.

    Does anybody know of anybody that runs boards - could they get us tee shirts or a few quid sponsorship ?


  • Registered Users Posts: 202 ✭✭3putt


    Looking forward to this now lads. Glad to see seve ob getting the pick , well deserved. Groups looking real strong . Hopefully we will bring it home again this year.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,634 ✭✭✭spacecoyote


    Charlie - McGinley (master tactician, inspirational captain)
    Ivan - Rory (lethal long game, massive power)
    Fix - Sergio (long hitter, passionate competitor, yet to win a major, read Boards outing)
    Macker - GMac (lethal short game, red hot putter)
    Tiger - Westwood (rock solid all rounder, always featuring at the top of the table)
    3putt - Kaymer (hits a solid high fade, consistent performer)
    Big easy - Rose (delivering on promise, has won on the biggest stage)
    Seve OB - Poulter ( wildcard, consummate team player, has the game to compete with anyone on his day)

    Sorry to the other Lads, haven't played with you so will let someone else fill in the who's who

    Edit - will give myself Stenson - worked my way up the rankings without hitting a driver :p

    Space "Dubuisson" Coyote me thinks!

    There are many similarities between the quiet enigma and the man from France ;)

    A recent revelation, but a certainty from the onset.
    The relaxed swing that packs a killer punch.
    The hair and facial hair aren't a million miles apart either :)

    Yes but can victor dance.

    myself and Segio, jaysus, Useless putter pain in the hole. - all just too true.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,945 ✭✭✭The Big Easy


    Just logged on now after being up the walls the last few days. Thread has given me a good laugh :pac: Space, I'm a better putter than Rose :P

    Haha, Fix and Sergio, that's funny. Are we staying over in Tullamore, I'm sure we could find something to amuse ourselves in the evening :pac:

    Things have quietened down a bit now so I must get out for some practise in the next week. Looking forward to it :)

    Sorry tiger, meant it as a compliment :eek:

    Think we need some positive reinforcement from the team captain

    I hear he is on a break studying course - is driven there by limo - martini handed to him on exit of car - as fur coat is put on - then a masseuses awaits at the steam room - after (depends how it went) he is handed a Havana Cigar with Ferrero Rocher a Petrus and deep heat.

    We Don't typically stay over Big Easy.

    I think it is a good idea - But I feel from talking to lads - we push the boat out enough during the year - telling her it was the end of year bash last month - and now it is the end of year , end of year bash . Is a bit beyond the realms of reality.

    After all that - I would , but this year date does not suit.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 7,254 Mod ✭✭✭✭charlieIRL


    Lads, we're gonna rock this match 100 times better than gleneagles!!! If we can get fix to drink a case of wine the night before, a buggy for macker, seve's lucky ryder cup jumper, spacecoyotes funky trousers and I wont practice till the morning of the event we'll be grand!!!!!

    I'd be up for staying as I could have got us a great deal on a hotel in tullamore but I have an important anniversary mass Sunday morning.

    "Captain Charlie" - at what time will your limo arrive to pick me up for private transfer.

    I hear the lads are meeting in Supermacs - then onto Busaras :)

    Lads I'll leave 6 cans of Dutch Gold with the bus driver for you.

    Go Team. (ok so 12 cans) - drink them from the cup for team building.

    Don't worry Fix, I was suggesting it with tongue firmly in cheek :p Those type of occasions usually work best as once a year blowouts :pac:

    Meant to say congrats Seve on the pick, well deserved :)

    I have a dilemma now over which trousers to where...Jesus I'm turning into a golf diva.

    Pretty sure I have a Ryder cup golf glove unopened sitting somewhere at home, will have to do some digging

    11:30 so can everyone be there before 11 if possible.

    No problem Charlie.

    What are the warm up facilities like there? Is there a range to hit a few balls?

    As mentioned earlier us there any colour coordination going on sign tee_shirts?


  • Registered Users Posts: 849 ✭✭✭ballyk


    Strong team lining out for boards. Three in a row looks a distinct possibility. Best of luck to all on Saturday. Will there be any live scoring available?

    Hard luck ballyK on not making team - not many teams leave an unbeaten man at home. ;)

    There is a range, 2 putting greens, chipping area and a few nets as far as I remember.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 7,254 Mod ✭✭✭✭charlieIRL


    I don't mind on the colours. Anyone have any light blue polo tops? Boards colour? Grey trousers?

    I have a good few different coloured polo tops so am easy. Think we'll need jumpers Saturday though.
