Jewellers Ryder Cup Competition
The Jewellers International Golf Competition has changed! Although the match is between England and Scotland, it is not limited to those born or based in either country, only that you are involved within the jewellery industry, or allied/supplier trades, and would like to play for one of these countries. If you have not played in this competition before please contact me for further information.
First of all very many congratulations to Scotland who won the 2022 inaugural Jewellers "Ryder Cup" competition at MacDonalds Portal in Tarporley, Cheshire!
As mentioned at this years competition in October, (was it really that long ago!!), David has been researching potential venues for the 2023 competition and has found a cracker. Dalmahoy Hotel and Country Club - Edinburgh, Scotland with the golf details shown on their website.
Dalmahoy is a championship course attached to a four star hotel just 20 minutes (6 miles) west of Edinburgh and 3 miles from the motorway. It has hosted the Solheim Cuip and numerous Scottish PGA championships. The deal that has been negotiated is:
- Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th July 2023.
- Two rounds of golf on the championship course
- Two nights bed and breakfast in the luxury four star baronial manor house.
- Three course meal in the Brasserie on the first night
- Three course private dinner in the boardroom on the second night
- Single occupancy rooms
- Cost £490 including VAT - a great price for such a superb course.
It has seen the likes of Ballasteros, Torrance and Faldo gracing the fairways, so it should be a good test for us expert golfers!!
In the past we havd had a casual rtound of golf on the Sunday and an informal dinner in the evening. This new format follows that of the real Ryder Cup in that we will have pairs on the Sunday and singles on the Monday - both days will count, gaining points towards winning the competition.
What is needed right now
Our competition has evolved and 2022 saw the first of the new format. We are now really happy to say that the "Jewellers Ryder Cup" competition went VERY well. We all know of the rivalry between the Scots and the English, and it is SO enjoyable. Although there are always huge amounts of banter and leg pulling, it was SUPERB to get back to our competition, meet up with players we had not have seen for three years and have a great time, great golf, great food and great company. Don't miss out on what is a fantastic format - the Ryder Cup style competition, England v Scotland.
There are limited places booked and David needs to confirm the numbers and send a deposit very quickly as prestigious golf clubs are seeing a boost in demand and we need to commit or we will lose the booking. Please complete the booking form and return it to me and send a deposit of £100 to David Gauld - full details are in the attached booking form. I will respond to your booking and, if I don't get back to you within 24 hours, then I haven't received your booking!
