Smiffy... stop picking on Homer,.... he'll put you on ignore if you're not careful :whistle:




Did I win? :mad: Where's my guess? How many wedges you got Homer? I was quietly confident (in a 'glass half full' kind of way) that I was going to win this :(
 
"...whatever I put up in terms or an apology, defence, or explanation will be ignored, twisted or ridiculed.."

Just read through the thread again and can't find any of the above.



As an aside, I wonder if he hit 50 followers - whatever that might mean.

"Please bear in mind that once I hit 50 followers I'll be making a £100 donation to Help for Heroes so there is a good incentive to join"

If I was looking at the right section last night on the blog, the counter on the bottom right, which I gues was followers, was on 58.
 
I must say a lot of respect must be shown to the 2 forummers that have been robbed of there prize by some dodgy accounting . Fantasy Island strikes again ,Boss Boss the Excel Cell is missing, ah no one on the Forum will remember about the Invisible wedge.

MAN UP ,COME CLEAN AND DO THE RIGHT THING AND GIVE THEM THERE PRIZE, AND GAIN SOME REPECT BACK ON HERE.
 
Right I'm saying this once and once only. I've not responded as I've been in work today and not had access to the spreadsheet on my PC at home. Yes I've fu***ed up. What I've done is try and be too smart for my own good and get entries via the forum, twitter, facebook and from members of my club directly. What I didn't do is correlate all of those into the spreadsheet and I missed out a number of those that entered via the blog.

There were two winners Gibbo and DaveM. I've already given the wedge to the guy I thought had won. I'm not going to fork out for another two wedges but what I am prepared to do is send out a dozen Bridgestone B330 RXS to both Gibbo and Dave if they are prepared to send me their address via PM.

I'm not prepared to divulge the winner as he is a friend of mine who I converse with via Twitter and I'm certain if I give out the name then at least one on here is bound to try and search for him and hassle him about it. That's all I am prepared to say as I think some of the reactions have proved that people won't let it lie.

Yes I screwed up and I hope Gibbo and Dave will accept the balls as some form of recompense. I doubt very much this will be anywhere near enough for the majority but tough as thats all I'm prepared to say and do. Its the same old names having an afternoon of fun and I'm sure this will actually only add fuel to the fire but I have held my hands up offered an explanation and compensation to the winners but why let that get in the frolics
 
I reckon it's the small claims court for this baby now.

The two forummites only have about 4,000 witnesses so they stand a good chance of winning.

Mind you, who would get 'custody' of the wedge??

Homer, dear boy, you'll be requiring Bob Mattingburg.:p

Nice one Homer, I think the teasing was because you probably not very good at covering your tracks so well done for the update.

For what its worth good enough for me and Im sure others who know you better will be along to continue the banter.... :whistle:

Sadly two idiots decided to put a post on there swearing. Why would I leave it up. Experience has shown that whatever I put up in terms or an apology, defence, or explanation will be ignored, twisted or ridiculed and to be honest I can't be bothered when the responses on here make it apparent no-one will pay any attention
So only 4 hours ago you were going to offer nothing, now as there is no way out you are chucking them a dozen balls? If the "guy" is a close friend he will understand about the mix up then you could have a tie break question between them. Would be a good way to save some face I think.
 
It was won by a guy who entered via twitter who guessed 88.24 (0.24 difference). I've just sent him a PM message asking for his preference of loft and lie and a new Vokey wedge will be off to him soon.

I've already given the wedge to the guy I thought had won.

Bloody hell Martin. That was quick!! 9.00pm on Saturday night you didn't even know what his preference was for loft or lie. Now despite being at work all day today you've managed to give him his wedge!
Bearing in mind the snow we had yesterday, you must have had a busy old day scouring all the golf shops around your way finding the right combination. I take my hat off to you. You really can work miracles.
Unless, as Richart suggests, it's all a load of bollocks
:whistle:
