As has been reported , a 5-0 win to HDID. More important though, it was a great day and the weather turned for the better a couple of hours before tee off. All matches were close and at one point when the leading group was on the 10 th tee it was 2 up and 2 down with one AS. Hopefully this can be an annual event or even more frequent if possible. For me , it was nice to put faces to names and good to meet a few local lads,so we can enjoy a few rounds at each others courses.
It was a pleasure to watch Mad Adey knock the ball out of sight and the first shot on the first will never be bettered in front of my eyes.Steve and Adey provided good company and a stiff challenge to Boo and myself. Cheers Boo for being Mr Consistency off the tee and keeping our unbeaten partnership going, always a pleasure mate. Thanks to everone for making the effort to attend and make the occcasion memorable. Special thanks to Gary for leaving his holiday in Skegness and Doyley for coming down from Edinburgh, top drawer on both counts. These acts are what makes these two forums special.Her's to the next time.

Cracking day at Kenilworth, and well played to all the bandits from HDID! (5-0, I don't believe it)
Big thanks to Nick and Robin for doing the hard work at Kenilworth and to Rob for volunteering as Captain and putting the GM team together and everybody else who helped with prizes etc.
Had a great game partnering Rob aaginst Alan and Joe, many thanks guys, but we started too well in winning the first two holes. Clung on until just after the turn when finding trees rather than fairway became the order of the day and Alan & Joe's consistency (plus a few cracking shots) stole the lead and they ran out comfortable winners 2 & 1.
Great to meet up with some new faces and hopefully we can do something similar again some time, but not too soon, the wounds are too deep just now.

Had a great day, Some good holes some Cr*p, the weather was perfect and the company great. It was a pleasure to watch the game being played the way it should be by a +2 handicapper (David) who has less meat on him than my butchers pencil but was deadly accurate. Thanks to Gary (Region 3) for putting up with my inadequacies on a few holes and Davis & Simon from HDID for a pleasant round of golf even if the score didn't go our way - if only those 2 hadn't lipped out on 9 & 10 Gary.

Thanks to all involved in the organising (apart from replacing me 
) of another top day.
We were well and truly beaten by some very solid golf by the long drive champion David helped out by Simon when needed. Thanks to both of you and my partner Mal for a very enjoyable round.
Mal, if David was +2 we might have had a chance I think you've cut him 4 shots there!

Just a thanks to Fish for all his initial hard work in organising this. Then to Wrighty 1874 for taking over.
It was a pleasure to watch David play really. Think I came in on 14 and 15 where he wasn't quite as straight as usual
Big thanks to Gary and Mal for the good company they provided. Gary was just a bit unlucky with some putts, where David's just went in.

The day after the day before
Firstly thanks to all of TeamGM for attending. We will do better next time.
I appointed myself as Captain for the day and paired myself (Rob) with crow (Nick), we were drawn against Alan and Joe from HDID. Joe was the lowest h/c player so gave Nick and Alan two strokes and myself 10.
At the first tee I decided to give it a bash and duly put a 3 wood down the left hand side of the fairway. Nick followed sending his drive into the trees on the far right, both HDID boys ended up in the trees, resulting in Alan taking 3 from the tee. I managed to make a put on the first for 5 net 4 to take the opening hole.
Onto the second and Nick took the honour. His tee shot to the 203yd par three pitched just short and stopped within 8inches of the flag. Both HDID boys missed the green, attempted to chip in but failed an conceeded the hole. GM 2 up after two.
Rob lost his tee shot on the third, but Nick put his down the right hand side of the marker. Nick made the green in the fewest strokes but a 25footer from Joe saved par and halved the hole.
Onto a short par four with bunkers to all sides and only Joe threatened the green, finishing just shy of the dance floor. Nick chipped on and cooly putt for a par to half another and keep TeamGM 2up. Nick got his first shot of the day on the fifth and used it to get a net par and another half.
Disaster struck for TeamGM on the sixth, Nick went right across the previous fairway and Rob's ball crept into a ditch resulting in a penalty drop. Joe took a par and the score was down to 1up for TeamGM.
Hole 7 had been designated as 'Nearest The Pin', a bunker was 5 yards in front of the green with the flag about 6 paces on. Both HDID boys carried the bunker but damp conditions made the ground soft and their balls both stopped short of the green. Nick stepped up and put his ball 3 foot from the flag then Rob made the green but a further 3 foot back. A birdie put for Nick put TeamGM 2up once again. Hole 8 was halved after Joe chipped in for par, and Nick putted from around 6 feet.
Joe put his second shot from 140yd to within 6ft, giving him a bidie put which he took to take the hole. TeamGB 1up at the turn.
A par 3 to start the back 9, and not one ball troubled the green, Nick's ball came to rest on the edge of the bunker giving him an awkward stance for his second. A solid chip followed by a put gave TeamGM a 2 hole cushion once again.
On to the 11th and Nick found the trees to the right of the fairway, Rob had forgotton how to swing a club and was still short of the fairway. Alan pushed his tee shot into the copse of trees on the left whilst Joe sent one straight down the middle. A poor second by Nick and a double bogey 6 saw the hole conceeded. TeamGM 1up. Joe sent a monster drive down the 12th, Alan followed him whilst Rob was still finding his swing Nick went into the trees on the left hand edge of the fairway. No escape meant Nick had to play sideways. Joe chipped to the edge of the green for two and took a steady par to send the match into an all square situation.
Two long and straight drives from the HDID boys gave them the 13th after Nick visited the next fairway from his tee-shot. HDID 1up.
Rob found his swing after going in the trees and sent a 7 iron to within 5 feet on the 14th, he missed the put but a double bogey was sufficient to half the hole. Four good drives were sent down the 15th, (Nick and Alans 2nd and last shots) this hole being halved with a par. Alan went OOB on 16, but Joe once again boomed his driver straight and long. Nicks second went into the trees. A par for Joe put HDID dormie 2.
Another OOB for Alan and Joe sent his drive 50 yards past the longest drive marker, reaching the rough meant his drive couldn't win a prize. Rob's approach was just short, although a chip to within 6foot kept the game alive, but only just. Joe was just off the green in 2 and elected to putt his third, the ball stopped rolling inches from the cup,a par was conceeded. Rob who had only scored on two occasionss had to hole out to take the match to the last. Unfortunately the ball slipped past the hole and the handshaking began.
So, thanks to Nick for carrying me for 17 holes, and many thanks and congratulations to Joe and Alan, great company and some good golf on show.
