Excellent Contractor retort.

Charlie Drake - one of the world's great comedians. Or whatever he was.

I seem to recall that GlenEagles was the venue for those ProCelebrity Golf programmes back in the 1970s. The US team was represented by Tom Weiskopf + any one of Sammy Davis Junior / Bing Crosby / Bob Hope & the English team had Peter Ootsrhuis + any one of Bruce Forsyth / Charlie Drake / Eric Sykes.

So, I was the only one on the AMS flight out of the valleys yesterday without an oversized brolly in my hand luggage. Most of the Americans were in good spirits and seemed to have enjoyed the trip although I did chuckle whilst stood out side a bar in town on Sat night as two passed by. One looking confused and saying to his mate "It's a bit strange. It's not like South Carolina" but as you'd expect there was no trouble anywhere AFAIK.

People I know who went to the event had a good time, enjoying the golf and a bit of celeb spotting. Michael Jordan was spotted supping a pint of Brains S.A. in one of the beer tents. He was also spotted in "SALT" on the Friday night - a bit of a tacky bar in the bay frequented by people who enjoy lurid looking alcopops.

Not Wales. I seem to recall it's Gleneagles, so Colin Montgomerie can't be captain on his own turf just like Woosnam wasn't.

Anyone know where the 2014 RC will be held?

He knows full well where it is, he's just likes the attention.
