As I stated on Saturday to Jarvis and Dan, I challenge any of the older team to an 18 hole match for the rights to get Fuji. Dan has accepted the challenge. Course yet to be determined. The match will take place sometime in May when I get feeling in my right hand again...haha
LVP Award(Least Valuable Player)
This award is in memory of Nader Hafzalla and will be given to the player who scores the least amount of points for his team. In Nader's two year reign on the Young Coptic Ryder Cup squad, he was unable to gain a single point but looked good doing it. Therefore, the winner will receive the Plaid Jacket which will be passed on for years to come.

Listen Andy. Fuji is on our team. There will be no playing for him. Any trading needs to be iniated by our Team. I am speaking for our team. We are not trading fuji as of today. If are going to put a real deal on the table, lets hear it.

Looking at the young teams roster. It appears you may need to do some recruiting. Good Luck with that.

Our roster looks good right now.

I would like to remind everyone that covert trading is illegal. Trading must be approved/voted on by team members.

Andy and Joe. Why is there a fight over Fuji?
Andy, As for us being AFRAID. . well, take a long honest look at your team. . . Juju is too busy picking flower arrangements and china patterns to think about golf, alfred spends 12 hours a week driving between here and lansing, mike bishay will have the bar exam on his mind. . your team will not be in great shape. . . do you guys even know what a putter looks like anymore? Your team has NO CHANCE. . . Accept it an move on. . . you are facing a bunch of guys that played in December and will start playing in April. The overconfidence of your team is amusing. . HAHA. Getting Fuju will not make a difference.

Joe,
Come on Joe, if you were that good you would have agreed to my scoring method.
It's simple. . . do you want to win or do you want to play with the younger guys.
Let me quote Andy and Alfred before the Ryder Cup 2005 . . "Come on Mark. . . Do you really expect to have a chance. . .Dan can't play more than 12 holes without starting to walk like a teta, Jarvis can't hit a straight shot these days, Karim sucks, you guys have nobody"
Andy and Al, I have kept that conversation to myself for 2 years . . .it's time for the truth to come out. NO FEAR. . .

I've had enough of Mark's fatness. Ever hear the phase always a brides maid...never a bride...your living it.
As for the debate on Fuji, there is no debate, Alfred can't jackoff for at least 4 months, let alone hit a golf ball like he used to. Andy has enough chemicals in his body to be considered a "dirty bomb", and Mina Grace (not much to add there).
The Bingo ladies have been playing golf through the winter, so you should have in improved your handicap by 1 stroke. You should like a bunch of Nancy's to me.

Sorry to chime in so late but I need to clear up a few things:

2)To Dan and the Round Mound of Cheesecake - I don't remember this alleged quote from 2005 and how could both Andy and I be credited with uttering these wise words. We stopped talking in unison in 2004.
3)Jarvis is gay
4)No matter how many snow angels you gals made at Sunnybrook in december, you're still inferior. I'm undefeated verse the geezers in tournament play.
5)Fuji belongs to us because he said there's a lot of inappropriate touching that goes on with your team and it makes him feel dirty.
6) Stop trying to break assunder our team unity. btw...Dan - jarvis mentioned your guy's dry humping sessions have lacked a certain je nai sai quois in recent months.

Please make the deposit by April 8, 2008. If you don't make the deposit by then, your name will be removed by Shanty Creek from the rooming list and you will be SOL. After that date, do not call me, I have enough crap to deal with.
Thursday, March 6, 2008
DEPOSIT DUE BY APRIL 8, 2008

All guests must make reservations directly with the Resort on an individual basis no later than 4/8/2008. They should identify themselves as members of MICHAIL GOLF. Please publish only the following telephone numbers for making reservations:
| (800) 678-4111 extension 4400 |

Update
It looks like we will have Canada v. US for the 4th annual Ryder Cup. The Canadian resprentative John Iskander has informed me that there are 8-10 confirmed golfers with a possibility of 2 more. It appears that from the US side we will have between 10-12 golfers.
At this point I need rooming preferences (hotel room vs. house) and who you want to room with if you choose the hotel, to finalize things with Shanty Creek. The final price will be between $195-$200 depending on the final number of golfers. If you don't respond, I will assume that you don't care and will decide on my own. The deadline is Friday. . .either leave a comment or send me an email.
I have made tee times for both mornings at Cedar River and for Saturday afternoon for the Legend. I personally thought that Cedar River was a superior course to the Legend and preferred to play it twice. For those that want to play the Legend, you can play it on saturday afternoon. If this is objectionable, please provide feedback.
Shanty Creek can provide a large grill at the house for us for a fee of $50 per day. I think this is a good idea. . feel free to object . . . the majority wins. . . .provide feedback. . .
There is a $100 reservation deposit that must be made no later than April 8, 2008
The contact info is as follows:

SHANTY CREEK DETAILS
Here are the details for Shanty Creek:
Price: Approx. $195
Lodging:
1 six bedroom house with 11 beds (Sorry, 1 King bed to be shared by two guys). The rest of the guys will be staying at the Lodge (2 guys per room - 2 double bed). The tee times below are based on 24 guys golfing.
Please inform me of your lodging preference as soon as possible.

Saturday Afternoon - The Legend
Tee Time 3:30 - 3:50 (8-12 guys)

Schuss Mountain $30
Summit $20
I NEED TO GIVE SHANTY CREEK A ROOMING ASSIGNMENT AND A COMPLETE LIST OF ALL GOLFERS IN THE NEXT MONTH. EVERYONE MUST MAKE A $100 DEPOSIT NO LATER THAN APRIL 15, 2008.
Friday, February 1, 2008
We are going to Shanty Creek.
It looks like we are going back to site of the First Annual Ryder Cup in 2005 for the 2008 edition. Shanty Creek resort has offered the best package. It is as follows:
2 nights lodging, one large house (5 bedrooms) on the Schuss Mountain Golf Course for up to 12 guys and the remaining guys in hotel rooms at the Lodge. Each guy will have his own bed.
2 days of unlimited golf on any of the courses (Legend, Cedar River, Shanty Creek, or Schuss Mountain)
Free range balls, etc,
$20 of food vouchers. There is a breakfast buffet for $10 per person that is real good.
Free transportation within the resort
Cost per person approx $195
That means we will be going back to the scene of the infamous PROMGATE at the 18th hole of Cedar River and the site of Billy Ersan's famous 2 foot putt on the 18th hole of the Legend to win his match and create a tie for the first annual Coptic Ryder Cup. OK . . he missed the putt. . . but this year he will drain it
Wednesday, January 23, 2008
Update - Please provide comments
Treetops has changed their prices for that weekend to their peak season rates. Therefore for Hotel rooms ONLY with 2 round of golf without any meals the price is $325. The courses or nice but I do not think they are worth that much.
Boyne. Boyne has also slightly increased their prices this week (they were going to give us 2007 prices last week). The biggest problem with Boyne is the driving that we will have to do to all the courses. The prices for Boyne will be approx $240-$250 per person for 2 days of unlimited golfing, 2 breakfast buffets, 2 nights lodging in condos (older condos), and a $25 voucher for the casino nearby). The biggest drawback for Boyne is the courses are very far apart from each other (almost 45 minutes from Boyne Mountain to Boyne Highland). Based on previous experience, this is not conducive to the format that we have.
A third choice is Otsego Club. www.otsegoclub.com
This is a golf resort that has a real nice course called the Tribute and a sister course called Black Forest. They are offering a package that includes 2 rounds (one of the tribute and one of Black Forest), lodging (one large condo and a bunch of hotel rooms) a dinner (order from the menu up to $30) for $270 per person. The tribute is a real nice course and Otsego is located right off of I-75 in Gaylord so it is about 1/2 hour closer than Boyne Mountain and more than one hour closer than Boyne Highlands.
There are still the choices of Shanty Creek or The Chief
Please give feedback.

2008 Coptic Ryder Cup
The time has come to start planning the Fourth Coptic Ryder Cup. Yes, I know. . . it's more than 4 months away but I am tired of dealing with wedding stuff and thinking about golf is the only thing that will keep me from loosing it completely. With that being said, several decisions need to be made with regards to the 2008 tournament.
1. When should be schedule it? I have tentatively scheduled it for May 30 - June 1, 2008. This is the weekend after Memorial Day in the US and two weekends after Victoria Day in Canada. The benefit to this is that most courses are still offering decent packages (most raise their rates the following weekend). The weekend after is also a possibility June 6-8, 2008?
2. Where should we go? We could go back to one of the ones we've played before (Shanty Creek, The Chief, or A-Ga-Ming) or we could do to a new place (Boyne or Treetops). I have called both Boyne and Treetops. Boyne is the better bargin $220 (unlimited golf, breakfast buffet on sat. and sun. lodging in hotel rooms) we can play any of the courses except for Bay Harbor. Several of us have played these courses and the Donald Ross and Crooked Tree are very nice courses. The web site is www.boyne.com. Treetops is a great golf resort. . The package for treetops is $225 (2 rounds of golf and lodging in hotel rooms). Both have condos available for approx 30 more per person. The lodging at Boyne will be nicer than the lodging at treetops. Neither will be as nice as the condos from A-Ga-Ming or at the Chief. The one problem with Boyne is that the courses are a 20 - 30 minute drive from where we are staying. I personally have no problem with going back to any of the three that we played before (Shanty Creek, The Chief, and A-Ga-Ming). They will all give us very good deals. . .
