Final preparations are underway at Celtic Manor for the Dacoity Cup and Bandit Trophy. The courses are being readied, the buggies are being serviced, staff are ensuring that Derek will get his 4.30am alarm call to provide access to Dave's clubs for a late (or is that early) practice session, and all of Maybury's bunkers are being raked. An extra consignment of grapefruit juice is being delivered to ensure the Elgin Marble remains hydrated enough to wield a hickory shafted 6 iron for 3 days non stop. Extra consignments of Beef Jerky are being ordered for Johann, and the entire pig population of South Wales being turned into pork pies ready to fill Mac's golf bag each day. Even Paul Stone has been to the range. Derek's trip to the range resulted in a minor adjustment to his alignment when addressing the ball (just wait till you see it!!!!). As for the defending champion, well in true Dungannon Cannon style, the only preparation needed is to check it is this week and not next week. Me, I am busy calculating handicaps and odds - haven't played at all.
