Four Days
The agenda.
A full bill of competition, ceremony and Mediterranean nonsense — beyond the golf itself. Order suggested, not enforced.
24 September
Thursday
Touch down at PMI, clear customs, and start the Balearics countdown.
Drop bags, claim rooms, and get the first look at basecamp.
Doubles draw, lazy rallies, first round of cervezas. Loosens shoulders, sharpens sledging.
Float, hydrate, and decompress in the Santa Ponça sun.
Beachfront feast to kick off the long weekend.
Next door to Las Olas. Football, pints, and patriotic tension.
Bars along the bay. No alarms tomorrow — within reason.
25 September
Friday
Convoy out to Arabella.
90% allowance. First blood.
Sun-soaked debriefs on the terrace.
Back to basecamp to reset.
Pool, shower, and a pre-dinner wind-down.
Short hop to the coast.
Long-table review of Day One.
Palma Nova after dark.
26 September
Saturday
Second-round transport.
Better ball. Partnerships under pressure.
Verdicts delivered on the terrace.
Back to change and recharge.
One last slow evening before Sunday singles.
Into the city for the team dinner.
Euro qualifier atmosphere. Venue to be confirmed.
Steakhouse-style send-off in the old town.
The honourable retire early. The rest do not.
27 September
Sunday
Bags loaded, kit on. Everything in the van — we're not coming back.
100% allowance. Trophy in the balance.
Final scores tallied, captains' thank-yous, team champions named, individual match-play champion crowned.
Coaches to the terminal. Boarding passes ready.
Sunglasses on, shoes off, trophy in hand or pride wounded.

After Hours
Palma. Late. Lights on the marina, cathedral overhead.
