This competition has been played
annually by members of The Wednesday Swindle since 2018. Originally billed as
“The Alternative Ryder Cup”, two teams of Swindlers have more recently competed
for the Robert Andlaw Trophy in memory of our dear friend and Swindle stalwart.
The competition, to be organised by David Reynolds, will next take place on
Wednesday 13 August 2025.
The format will be 9 holes of
Greensomes in the morning, first tee at 10.36, followed by a break for lunch
then 18 holes of four ball matchplay, first tee at 14.04. Swindle handicaps
will be applied. Participants may opt to play only the morning or afternoon
session if they prefer.
David takes over organisation
from John Cullen and brings a wine themed flavour to team selection! When you
register for the event, you will be asked if your preference is for French wine
or whether your go-to vino is from elsewhere. You will be put into team “Grand
Crus” or “Plonkers” accordingly! Total abstainers, non wine drinkers and those
who couldn’t care less will be placed in either team to balance the numbers.
The first step is for you to note
the event in your diary and, preferably, register interest though the online form. The draw and further details of the competition will be published nearer
the time. Let’s make it a really good turnout for this fun competition in the
Swindle calendar.
