Trevose, Cornwall

The original Redyr Cup venue and one where you were able to transport yourself back in time; to an age where they still served "stiff upper lip" ale at the bar and Ben Goor's blacked out dealer's car caused many local residents to call out the army.

Battling both the elements and the opposition, Trevose proved a true test of man and wet weather gear. Following the 2005 tour the new Redyr Cup fourballs rules were trialed in 2006 and have been in place (with a number of minor tweaks to satisfy the R&A and Jack) ever since.

With the apartments and the on course housing allowing the professional nature of the Redyr Cup to take place - As the late night poker games can attest - the early days were very much ones of finding its feet. We discovered that Grant had an Achilles heal with the putter and that Gerry was adept at using the road to carry his golf ball in the wrong direction to the hole. Jack was learning to deal with complete idiots running a golf course and the strengths and weaknesses of the Cup regulars began to show. A few Rookies arrived on the scene including Matt "Miguel Sanchez" Thompson who wore his national gear with pride whilst Peter Middlemas travelled from the United States to play in his last Redyr Cup, in 2007.
