Anthony organised the weather, and everything else splendidly - thanks for all the hard work

Course in great nick, greens in great condition, good company, and the usual suspects misbehaving as always :)

Thanks to the guys i played with AM and PM
 
Indeed, a cracking day was had by all (I think). Great organisation by Anthony including the weather. My recent spells of the sublime and the ridiculous continued on the course but I didn't 3 putt which says as much about the greens as it does my putting.

I'm sure Anthony will post results and pics at some point but for those wondering who won, it wasn't me.

Thanks to my partners for the day and apologies for the numerous cries of bleep bleep Stannard on the back nine :D
 
The day started badly when the tart slept in. He was supposed to pick up pieman at six, and meet me next. Got a phone call at six when he woke up on the sofa. I picked up Paul, and then drove home again for the tart pick up.

Still got there on time.

Fantastic weather for golf, lovely golf course, in great condition. Dubious company. Very dubious golf.

Thanks to txl for organising, pieman, general store, zznuffzz, swinger, donald, and hapless for company on the golf course, bratty, Justone, PNWokingham, imurg, leftie, and anyone else I bored with my company.

Shot of the day? Swinger, drove the 18th to leave a 6 foot putt for eagle. 2 for 4. Bandit.

Tart of the day? Rickg, spent a mint on new clobber (white trousers included), as he forgot to bring a change of clothes, and was still wearing yesterday's.
 
As above.
Big thanks to TXL for the organisation, big thanks to Paul, Pete and Sean for the am 9 holer and to Mike, Pete and Roger for a cracking afternoon.
Actually managed to put a half decent round together, not in the money but a par at the last instead of the inept double bogey would have put me in the running.
The Course...?
Suffice to say it's one I could get used to playing...
Some good banter, some good golf and a good day..
 
Can only add my '+1' to all the comments above.

Great to meet another bunch of axe-murderers and find out they really aren't - or at least disguise it well.

Course in great nick for the awful recent weather. Food and company fabulous. Now, if only I could avoid exoceting the 80yd uphill pitches!
 
Big thanks to Anthony for organising yet another great Forum meeting. He even get the weather right.​
:clap:

Well done also to Rickg for somehow ending up with all the prize money - kindly donated by the winners to the H4H fund.​
 
Absolutely brilliant day. That's why I play golf. Some good shots, some bad, great company with lots of banter on a cracking golf course.

Thanks to Anthony, who was the perfect host, GeneralStore and Bratty, who were great to play with, and the guys on my table at dinner. :thup:

Course was a really good test and in excellent condition.The greens weren't overly quick but were running very true. I just couldn't read them so unlike HawkEye I 3 putted a lot. :confused:

Oh and I was on the 18th green to witness Swinger's ball roll past me. According to the card that's 323 yards from the tee. :eek::cool: His drive was actually closer than my first putt.:o:mad:
 
Gotta say that was the most enjoyable 28pts I've shot this week :ears:

Thanks for all those who turned a blind eye to my all round sh*te play, much appreciated.

Great to see the old faces (that's you RickG!)..... and the new faces, always spend far too much time laughing on these forum meets.

Kudos to everyone for donating their 'winnings' to the HFH fund, Congrats to Wookie and Sawtooth, Richart, Richart's friend, Richart's other friend, Richart's friend of a friend of a friend........ and his friend!!! (and any other friends he might have even if they only know him by sight :thup:)

Swinger.. 292yds to drive the 18th... awesome.... and to make the putt? priceless!



Funniest thing (typing this only so I don't forget it)....

RickG: "You can only spin the club after you hit a GOOD drive..........."
HaplessHacker: "That WAS a good drive!"



Thanks to Twire, Hawkeye (who had his swing in the morning:whistle:) HaplessHacker, znuffzz, PNWokingham and Sawtooth for the company... top drawer fellas! :thup:

Thanks TXL for the day, well organised, nice course that is.... and Jeeeeeesus that was some sized chicken portion!

Don't know what the scores were... did I come last? :mad:
 
how was the fatigue after watching the golf James?

Good to hear you had the weather and a cracking day. Gutted I had to drop out but then again back is cream crackered today so couldn't swing a club if I wanted to.

Will be good to see the scores on the doors, I know Anthony will have a little spreadsheet or 2 with them on ;)
 
I'm spannered Gibbo... can't remember playing the back 9 :D

Did I win? what... eh? where's my nurse gone?....helloo? is anyone there..... night night :rofl:
 
Many thanks to all that attended, I trust you had an enjoyable day.

I have rather a lot of pictures to sift through, thanks Pieman and the other budding photographers that took pictures for me. :) I will try to get round to them tomorrow and post a few up here.

Meanwhile, here are the results:

I was able to negotiate a prize of a Cleveland Stand Bag for the overall winner.
 
Repeating all that’s been said; great day, great course, great weather, great company.

Special thanks to Anthony for his usual seamless organisation and to my playing partners am: Foxholer. The19thhole, Sev112, pm: Wookie, Rickg, Jeremy.

Well played Jeremy, a grandstand finish with birdie on the 18[SUP]th [/SUP]to take the prize, having thinned the drive and getting a good bounce off the cart path...

Like Swinger, I too thought of having a crack at the 18[SUP]th[/SUP] green with my driver (or was it his 3 iron?), but instead knobbed my 3 wood just over the ridge and scored a double.
 
Thanks Anthony, superbly organised.

Great company, course and some seriously dodgy outfits...those pastels really suit your eyes Rick
 
Another cracking forum event - well manged Anthony - cracking day, course and company. It started on a funny note hearing Rick get a call on his sofa at 6am in yesterday's clothes - rushing out the door tootbrush in hand!! The pro shop relieved him of £150 for some diamond white new trousers, T shirt etc.....

Looking forward to the next event at Cooden
 
As above - thanks to Anthony for his organisation and hosting skills and my playing partners Homer and Wookies Guest (as he will probably be known for the time being:D) in the morning and RickG, Crow and Jeremy in the afternoon.

My first forum meet and wont be the last as it was a cracking day with cracking company. Shame about some of my golf in the afternoon but hey:)

Looking forward to seeing the pictures :) please add more tales of woe/joy to the thread for the bit in the magazine. Cheers everyone.

Stupid question of the day while we're all waiting by the first tee before the morning round: "Where's Homer?"
Best tee announcement as Pieman is getting ready to play: "On the tee, representing Ginsters..."
