H4H 2nd October 2018 Liphook

[Deleted member 15344]

It was ok I suppose 😂

Every year surpasses the previous and this year did it again

Yesterday at West Hill was just perfect , course immaculate and we had a great game with some great banter , Captainron speechless more than worse and the odd bit of golf - cheers Glyn superb day

It was a quiet night for some and a very long and loud night for others - some rushing to the club a touch worse for wear and late 😂😂 ( that’s what happens when you drink with Stu and Swinger ) - Fish started early and then had a lie down early

Today at Liphook the course was in perfect condition - the greens were the best I have played this year by a clear distance , quick and true with the fairways soft but the heather punishing - the scores showed how tough it was - well until one Pedro arrived to blow everyone out of the water

Great auction raising a great amount and then a hard hitting speech from the H4H ambassador

Cheers to rich and his wonderful wife , thanks also to playing partners over the last couple of days - I have been well and truely Cameron’d over the three days - next year it’s someone else’s turn to shout four right on every tee 😂 - great work to both Glyn and Cameron for sorting all the stuff out

And for anyone who has never been - it’s one little trip that will really show what is great about the forum and would recommend it to everyone far and wide - it’s everything that’s great about the forum and golf and you get to see the real people and forge great golfing friends

Another great day organised by the H4H team. I can only reiterate what LP said about the course condition at Liphook; I've played West Hill, Swinley Forest and The Berkshire in the past week, Walton Heath & Worplesdon earlier in the year and this was without doubt the best condition for fairways & greens I've played in a long time. Thanks to my playing partners Crow, Stu_C and Bill Elliott for their great company and Bill's wonderful stories. Apologies to JamesR but I did say that fade would cost you distance... Thanks to Liphook Ladies for giving up their day for us and for everyone who made the effort to come and raise money for a great cause. I hate to agree with LP twice in one post , but it is everything great about the forum.

Thanks also to Glyn for organising yesterday's warm up at West Hill, JamesR, Duffers & Junior for their company, and Cameron for not actually killing me with a stray ball the last two days, despite having a fair few goes...

Great course, superb organisation, wonderful golf club and hospitality, top playing partners and a load of money raised for some folks who really need the support. What’s not too like? 😉 A very memorable day for me. Thank you.

Great couple of days. Huge thanks to all the organisers, you deserve so much praise.
Liphook was superb today (by the way, Liphook > West Hill all day long and I think West Hill is a good track!. If I lived in that area I know which one I would put my hard earned into for sure). The whole day was brilliant and great company out on the course made up for some very average golf personally!
I had to shoot off during the meal to sort something out, won’t go into too much detail but all I’ll say is when I get up and leave a crumble and custard you know it’s serious business

Golf on a great course and raising money for H4H, can’t be bad.

Not sure where to start, and it will be probably quite repetitive in terms of what others have wrote already.



What a brilliant couple of days it was.



Thanks to Rich, Glynn and everyone who helped organise two superb days of golf.



Both courses are a great credit to their members.



Thanks to all of my playing partners over the two days.



It was my first Help For Heroes, so to win is a great honour.

I didn’t unfortunately meet Rick but know by talking to many forum members what a great man he was and how much he loved this day and the cause.



To finish thanks to Mike and the golf Monthly staff for not only helping with this event but giving us the platform of the forum.

It sums up Golf well, where 100 odd people can come together, play on a stunning course, have some great food, raise a load of cash for a great charity and meet up with new and old friends and forge lasting friendships.
I am very grateful to be party of a superb forum and would urge anyone to try and attend these awesome events.

Another memorable couple of days of golf with the best forum on the planet.

Two stunning courses, perfect weather and loads of friends old and new, what more can you ask for?

Superb work from Rich, Glyn and the rest of the team in raising a big chunk of money for a worthy charity.
Thanks to Liphook Golf Club and Liphook Ladies for giving us a superb day.

Had the great pleasure of playing with Mikejohnchapman, Dufferman and Philthefragger at West Hill and with Bill Elliott, Blue in Munich and Stuart_C at Liphook, thanks guys.

An excellent dinner to top it off and a moving speech to close about the great work H4H does.

What a day, up at 3am and mare of a drive home back at 11.50pm.

Liphook is a short course, the lady member we played with said they had 110 ladies members, can understand why it would be popular, as not to many long carries over heather for a heathland course and distance isn't important. Its not a driver course, with placement required on many holes than distance but hit the driver anyway, not a course for me with my game plan

Highlight of the day was speaking to jobr1850 afterwards to find out he won the day with a cracking score. Really pleased for you.

Thanks to everyone who made the day possible, along with everyone/every company/every club who donated, gave time, played and bought stuff.

And finally many thanks to my playing partners and in particular the lady member who kindly played with us and also a big thanks to the Liphook ladies that gave up their Tuesday.

Just to echo what everyone has already said about the organisers, the course and the whole day in general.

Thanks to Swingalot, The Diablo and Old Skier for their great company on the course. After starting birdie, par for seven points I thought it might be one of those days but the fantastic greens were too good for me and in the end was happy with 30 points after seven three stabs😭. Well done Jobr for a great winning score.

Looking forward to next year already

Only thing we need to know is your level of concern on the 7th as it looked like there would be a fair few folk queuing up to take a beer off you... 🤣

Well done to everyone for yet another fantastic H4H day. Liphook was in fantastic nick - IMHO the best course yet that we've played.

Unfortunately I over indulged the night before and have no recollection of actually getting back to my room when I eventually made it back there (brilliant night though - great to see so many friends and meet new Forum members!). Woke up very late and ended up in a dash to the course, arriving 10 mins before my scheduled tee-off time. But the need for a bacon roll meant that I only joined my playing partners - PNWokingham, Tab373 and Junior - half-way up our first hole (which I think was the 9th!) Looked a long walk back to the tee so just decided to walk the rest of the way with them, tend the pin, but most importantly finish off my bacon roll!!!

The rest of the round was a bit of a blur (I only felt well enough on our 5th hole to eventually tie-up my shoe laces!!) and I must admit that I cannot really remember much about the course. So in the circumstances I believe that my 23 points was a monumental achievement! And really enjoyed the company of my playing partners - three top guys.

My day ended with me having to leave immediately after dinner to get back home (well done to all the winners) which resulted in me forgetting to collect my clothes and wash bag from the changing room.........so thanks to LiverpoolPhil for dropping those back to me on his way home.......including my undies; top man!!!!

Cannot wait to do it again next year.............!

..!

Washed an ironed I hope.

Thanks to everyone for a great day out on my first but not last H4H day.

A very poignant speech by the H4H rep.

As a Caseworker for military charities and someone who regularly deals with those that require assistance from all military charities including H4H my biggest thanks go to all of you who generously dipped your hand in your pocket.

Wow, what a great couple of days!!
West Hill & Liphook were brilliant courses (West Hill is certainly better when it isn’t hammering down with rain).
Junior, BIM, Duffers, MikeH, Kraxx & Anotherdouble thanks for being great company!!
I just need to go away and learn how to putt before next year’s hotly anticipated edition.

Cheers all

Hard to add anything more to what's been said already
A great evening out in Aldershot on Monday and yesterday at Liphook was sensational - well done to Rich and team for all the organisation. Months of hard work to ensure we all had a great day and raised a lot of money
Pics of the day to come in the next few days, report in the December coverdated issue of the magazine
Roll on 2019!

Enjoyed the knock mate. You played really solid too

Brilliant couple of days. West Hill was a superb warm up and many thanks to Glyn for sorting that out so brilliantly as always. Great company and a fun fourball. My golf was awful but hey ho. Rocked up early at Liphook yesterday and hit the putting green as I'd heard stories on the pace of the putting surfaces. They weren't wrong but the practice green did no justice to the eighteen on the course that were glass smooth, quick but brilliantly true and the best I've played on in 2018 but a country mile.

I've been on a lot of these H4H days and appreciate the time and effort that a hardcore team put in year in, year out but thanks again in particular to Mike and the GM team for their continued support, Rich and his wife for their brilliant organisation on the day and the hours behind the scenes making it another success. Thank you to everyone that has played a hand in making this year in my mind the biggest and best yet. Congrats to Fish for the award. Totally justified. Well played to all the winners. I can't wait until the announcement for next year. It's bound to be another great day. Thanks again one and all and a final thanks to everyone that turned up (and to West Hill) and made it a great day and a pleasure to meet new faces and old friends. See you all next time

Could the forumer that bought the signed Open flag drop me a pm. I don’t seem to have a record of who won it. Cheers.
