Camberley Heath Forum Meet - Feedback

[User20205]

thanks Anthony, what a course, really enjoyed it and the company was excellent as always.

the highlights of the day for me were, Homers shoes in the afternoon (he changed shoes at brunch). a light blue, dark blue myjoy combo that were so shiny you could see your face in them. full marks to Mrs Homer for her polishing skills

and actually on the course.... Hookers play on the front 9 in the afternoon was excellent, a couple of 4 pointers racked up Homers birdie on the last par 3 was cracking, deserved & got a double fist pump

Also some observations. I'm too old to carry for 27 holes, My knees are shot today, I need some kind of trolley :angry:
the quantity & quality of the custard was excellent

finally I understand Swinger is interested in playing more mixed pairs, he is in the market for a partner. she must however be able to match his length off the tee. sounds like a tough ask !!

Home at last, call off the search parties !

What a great day. Course was in great condition, greens a nice pace, and Anthony was the perfect host. Imagine there might be a few red faces and necks this morning. Never even thought I might need sun cream. So glad I carried my waterproofs around 27 holes.

Thanks to all my playing partners during the day, and especially to Rob who had to put up with me for all 27 holes. Not sure what you did to deserve that mate.

Golf was ok, but having birdied the first hole, the following 26 were always going to be a let down. At least I got to play the last five holes this time, twice in fact, and good holes they are too.

I can't imagine anyone would have the balls to partner Swinger in foursomes after his drive at the last. Does anyone want to revise their guess for how far he will hit it at the H4H day ?

Looking forward to the next meet at Cooden. Did anyone miss Smiffy ?

Great shooting James.
Are you handing the card in????

I wish I could, in fact it would be great if I could get my h/cap up to about 13........

I'd like to echo the comments above, a great day well organised, thanks Anthony. The course was presented in great condition (save the bunkers).

Thanks to my partners in the morning, JustOne, HaekeyeMS, and Haplesshacker. In the afternoon Pieman, RichardC and my guest Frank all top company. I must apologise for Frank, he can talk for England and I'm sure most of you heard him somewhere around the course.

Looking forward to catching up with old faces and new at Blackmoor.

Who?

As everyone else has said, a big thanks to Anthony for a cracking day out. Congrats to the winners.

I really enjoyed the course - if you've not played it, get it on your list - as it's wide fairways, but still lined with trees and trouble allow for some optimism. Greens were fast for me (it's all relative), but true, bunkers were as should be expected with all the weather we've had.

Thanks to Rickg and Jeremy for partnering me in the morning. Great company and a good laugh. The pro shop want to thank Rickg for helping pay their mortgages, and I was happy to act as personal shopper. If anyone else wants my services at events, I'll happily do so for a modest fee. That said, Cooden's pro shop won't facilitate much!

Thanks to Anthony, Mike and George for an enjoyable afternoon round. One highlight was Anthony telling me to stop being a big tart on the 1st tee and to go with driver not 3 wood. Thinking he'd got in my head as a returned to the bag to swap clubs, his smile soon faded as I stuck a lovely driver down the middle of the fairway with a nice bit of fade. I aplogise for the profanity and have now washed my dirty mouth out! That said, the drive on 17 really did deserve the shout, as did the people in the house about 10 yards from the tee!

See you at Cooden, folks, where I promise to donate £1 for every swear word during my round of golf to H4H. I refuse to do so once I finish my round, because there'll be too many ***** taking the *** out of me for me to hold back!

After being a long time lurker on the forum, it was really nice to put names to faces from the forum. Met some lovely people on the day and many thanks to my playing partners for the day Geoff, Rob2 and TheRod in the morning. Homer, 19thHole and TheRod again in the afternoon.

Thanks for the Kind words TheRod I had a good start in the afternoon after 8 holes I had 19 points! Unfortunately it all started to go wrong after that and lost balls on three of the next few holes effectively killed my challenge. Im sure it had nothing to do with the physical and mental abuse I suffered at the hands of Homer and 19th, purely a coincidence :ears:

Highlights of the day, on the par 3 2nd over a very uphill long and unforgiving par 3. I managed to half shank/slice/thin my tee shot wide right onto the path along the 1st fairway (where it bounced a few times) into the trees. Thinned my gap wedge attempt through the trees hitting the side of the hill and somehow landing on the green. To then drain my 20 foot putt for a PAR! That memory will live with me a long time!
Birdieing the 16th hole, despite homer NOT telling me there was a pond .

And hitting a lovely 220 yard hybrid onto the par 5 3rd hole for a PAR.

The main highlights were the course (tough but fair), the clubhouse (huge but not stuffy), meeting all the forumers even briefly they were all welcoming and friendly, being a high handicapper I didnt feel intimidated at all.

Many thanks to Anthony superb organising skills, even arranged great weather and course conditions for us.

Best tee announcement as Pieman is getting ready to play: "On the tee, representing Ginsters..."

Yes; my actual sponsors - Pukka Pies - would not have been impressed with that!

Absolutely cracking day and huge thanks to Anthony for organising everything. The course was in fantastic condition apart from the bunkers (which had suffered with all the rain) but even they cannot distract from what a class course Camberley Heath is. Looking forward to going back again soon.

Thanks as always to Chris for transporting myself and Rick there and back - much appreciated. Fortunately it gave us the opportunity to try and piece together exactly what went on Friday night!

Really good to catch up with all the old faces and friends, and meet some new guys as well. Thanks to Chris, Paul, George, Richard, Neil and Frank for their company out on the course during the day - very enjoyable.

Still suffering from Golfers Tourettes then Simon?

It's getting worse, Chris!!

 

[Deleted member 1418]

It's getting worse, Chris!!

So is your thieving habit................!!

 

[duncan mackie]

my thanks to Antony as well; great to meet everyone and it was a pleasure to play that course = superb.

still trying to match faces to names to forum names - clearly going to take more than one event!

 

[Bratty]

So is your thieving habit................!!

HAHA! But it's not nearly as good. A real thief wouldn't have returned it! Actually, a real thief would only steal something of value... and there's no value in a XXL Primark shirt!

Also, I discovered this on the "Camberley Heath, June 18th - Draw & details" thread:

also watching the end of the US golf, but have to set off even earlier to get to Murphs......

Well... What can go wrong?

You could sleep in.........

Now THAT is a good definition of irony!!! :rofl:

 

[The19thHole]

A truly fantastic day was had, less can be said about my game,
that had far too many blobs for my liking. Special thanks Anthony
for organizing the great day and my AM playing partners Seve1,
Foxholer and Crow and my fellow gardners TheRod, Homer and
Hooker — It was a privilege guys.

More to follow.

Is treading on someone's line a two-stroke penalty, Anthony?
