Ryder Cup Europe and The PGA of America today announced the launch of a new official logo for the Ryder Cup. Loads of marketing speak about enhancing and expanding the global brand awareness. I am not sure it is an improvement but I bet it cost a lot. Still I note we have more stars!

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.

I intend to shed a couple of ounces before walking through that x-ray machine! Click on the photo to check it out.
