As Robin seems reluctant to respond, I'll give my version of events...........

Playing on the Marquess course at Woburn, we had decided to hold a yellow ball competition.
Looking at the scorecard, and checking handicaps, it was decided that Fish would take the yellow going down the 1st, as this meant he would be receiving shots on the 5 holes he would be in possession of the ball. Common sense...........and our teams confidence was high with Fish's twin statements of "I am playing well at the moment" and also that the 1st hole "suited his baby draw".
Up steps Fishy, took a couple of immaculate practice swings and then lunged at the ball. Where it went, nobody knows. None of his playing partners saw it, neither did the starter.
We spent the full 5 minutes looking for it, to no avail. All the time Robin was getting more and more wound up, complaining that he couldn't believe how none of the four of us had seen where it had gone.
In retrospect, it doesn't seem that funny, but at the time I was pissing myself, and this was despite the fact that we were now out of the yellow ball competition with only one of our team members having actually "touched" the ball.

Another great moment, which again involved Robin, was when we were playing at Blackmoor.
My fourball were walking down the long par 3 15th when we spotted Robin in the middle of the 14th fairway. He had obviously hit a decent drive and was waiting for the green to clear to play his approach. While we were waking down, we watched him take half a dozen (if not more) practice swings, and we were level with him by the time he was able to play. We stood and watched, and he took the biggest divot I have seen in my life. You could almost hear the moles screaming. The divot (which must have weighed a good few lbs), went 50 yards, his ball no more than 10. He just stood there looking up at the sky, when I made what I thought was a very innocent remark..... "nice drive though Robin". His scream of "F*ck off" told me that he had taken it the wrong way.........:eek::eek::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL:

Haha brilliant.......Nothing like Fishy talking his game up???? #YOTF #babydraw

Talking of grudge matches, myself and Louise need to take on BiM/Slasher and Richart/Smiffy again.

The tastiest curries are those paid for by your opponents ;)

Don't remember us paying for the curry on the result of that one; possibly the only time in history that Slasher holed out on the 18th with the same ball he teed off with on the 1st. :D(y)

Love a rematch when the :poop:storm is over.
 
Have had some great times courtesy of meeting some truly great people on this forum.

Managed to play so many top courses with people who I now consider friends.

I have played probably over 40 top 100 courses with @Captainron my taxi driver and we have more to do once his wife lets him out of the naughty cupboard:LOL:

Nights out after the golf have been tremendous, I have puked in so many parts of the country after a night out not even trying to match Stu and Bluewolf.

Aberdovey was a great weekend, brown sauce Dave was a shock to see how they have a cup of tea in the North West :eek:

Mottram Hall was another top weekend.

so many H4H events have been top notch with mega hangovers afterwards, the walk up the 3rd hole at Coombe Hill whilst been under the weather wasnt good at all.

Best night out for me still is the night out we had in Portrush, Dan was truly slaughtered, Cameron was also gone and we only had to get up 4 hrs later to go and play 36 holes at Ballyliffin.

And long may it continue (y)

That's not a cupboard Glyn, it's a barn if Cam fits in it ;)

You're right Rich, we didn't have a curry on that occasion (thank God :oops: ) but Messrs Hart and Smith were out of pocket at Hayling :ROFLMAO:

My birdie at 18 at Blackmoor saved us another curry. That wiped the smile of your two faces.;) Seem to remember we lost to Andy on the last at Hayling after you refused to take your shots. I did warn you if we lost on the 18th.:mad:

Thinking about it I don't know why I play with you.:unsure:

What about the eye patches at Broadstone.:whistle:

You're not the only one :oops:
 
Playing Woodhall Spa, Hotchkin, with Rick, Slasher and Liverpoolphil. Every time LP went in a bunker Slasher was posting photos. Little girlie giggles every time he did it. Smile wiped off his face when he went in the bunker on the par five on the front nine and took 13 to get out.:eek: Only found his embedded ball at one point by looking at the film Rick was taking. Slasher holes out for a 19, net 18, but not quite good enough for a half.:)
 
Reading the above makes you realise how much good has come from the forum despite all of the bickering on it

Loads of the great memories seem to include Rick on a night out, theres a surprise! Night in MK before Woburn certainly one of those for me! Like others met plenty of great blokes that I wouldnt have met and played golf on some great courses with over the years and hopefully more to come
 
I'll never forget one of the Gainsborough trips I organised. James (Justone) had made up a load of cigarettes before one of the rounds, and somebody, I think it was Cameron, had secretly inserted an exploding joke thing in one of them. With every cigarette that James lit up, you could sense us stifling our childish giggles in anticipation of it going off ?????
I think it finally did on the 16th hole.
How he laughed ????
