I have received an email today, from the owner, advising that the deposit arrived in the morning post and that he is sending a receipt as confirmation of our booking. This will be the 4th year in a row that we have used this excellent property as a base.

Virgin have been advised that after fierce competition to secure our prestigious custom, they have again been successful in becoming the official carrier for the 2011 Tour. This will be the 3rd consecutive Tour that has used Richard’s Jumbos. No doubt the girls in red will be checking their shift patterns right now! Perhaps they will run some sort of competition to select the lucky crew.

The final part of the website was to set up a forum so that we can discuss issues and of course rib each other. It will also allow friends and family to post messages when we are on tour. In order to try and prevent the Spam Bots from swamping it, user registration is required. I have created two Guides the first covers registration and the second basic use of the forum.
If anyone has any problems or questions please contact me.
To go to the Forum just click on the menu item at the top of the site.

Following our meeting it is looking likely that there will be essentially two groups heading over the pond next October. A group of 7, who were all part of the 2009 tour, will be heading back to Bradenton for another 9 round challenge. A second group with a slightly more relaxed approach are intending to set up base down at Siesta Key and are not planning to play every day. We expect to coordinate tee bookings so that we will all meet at the courses and play together.
We are now on flight watch and the tour departure dates are expected to be 4th or 5th of October, returning 13th or 14th.
