Gentlemen

Do not miss the top annual Nomads golf event - the UA Cup!

When:  16 and 17 January 2010 - a two days event

We would like you to sign up ASAP

Information

Mogens and I are delighted and privileged to have been asked to be
captains for the UA competition which this year will be a bit earlier
than usual. I think it is because the Vikings always tried to catch the
ancient Britons off guard by rolling over the horizon at dawn. Well,
this time we will be ready for each other!

This year, the UA competition is sponsored by EMAAR represented by Yves
Delmar, and we are most grateful for their generosity. 

As you know, the UA competition involves two teams battling it out over
two days - it has some similarities to the Ryder Cup. The first day it
is a four ball competition, on the Sunday it is singles. Whichever team
wins the most points over the two days wins the UA Cup. On the Sunday,
there will be a dinner in the evening. Last year this took place at the
American Club, and we hope to confirm shortly that the Club can
accommodate us once again. 

In the past it has been GB & Ireland against the Rest of the World. This
year the ranks of GB & Ireland are much depleted, so we expect to co-opt
the North American contingent to make it a GB & Ireland & US team
against the RoW. Of course this depends on how many of you are available
that weekend - we may need to tinker round the edges once we know
exactly who will be taking part. Please let me or Mogens know as soon as
possible if you can and would like to play. Being able to play both days
is a requirement though! 

Please also indicate if you will be attending the dinner afterwards,
whether you will be inviting any guests and if so how many.

This year it will be over the weekend of 16 and 17 January, and we hope
to be able to book tee-times on both red and blue courses at
Dar-es-Salaam from about 9h00. We are waiting for confirmation from the
club director but there are no other competitions scheduled for that
weekend, and it should be well enough before the course closes in
preparation for the European Tour Hassan II Golf Trophy event (18-21
March). If it turns out we cannot book, Mogens and I will arrange
another venue.

We will announce final teams nearer the time but for the moment if you
could indicate your availability to one of us, we'd really appreciate
it.

YIG

Adam and Mogens
