What a great couple of days. Well worth the journey. I'm a little taken with West Hill already, wonderful course.
Credit to Richart and the team, superb organisation and I'm astounded by the sum raised. Truly magnificent by all who donated.
Everyone I spoke to and played with were great company as always. Once again, great to add a few more faces to for names.
Looking forward to the next one!

As a newbie to the event I’d like to pass on my thanks to all involved in the organisation I know what a massive task it can be to organise something like this and although I didn’t know many people I was made to feel really welcome by all.
The course and the day was fantastic and the people I met who have attended and supported many more of these events than myself were brilliant and a pleasure to meet.
As an ex serviceman it made it a must attend event as soon as I was asked by LQ and it definitely won’t be my last!
Thanks again and well done on raising such a fantastic amount 😀

As said above very well done to the organisers of the day, and the team at Liphook, for a great day out and for such a special cause. Was lucky to play alongside one of the Battle Back guys, 'Dutch', and appreciated that he stayed with us even though he was unable to play the last few holes. A really decent guy and all the best for their annual golf competition at Staverton Park next week. Also, thanks to Bigfoot and David from GM for their excellent company too.
The greens were the best that I have putted on and although quick I found them much easier to read than those at West Hill the day before. My game went from poor at first (six points in my first six holes) to very good (26 points in the last 12) and was gutted to miss a three foot putt on the 10th for my first birdie away from my home club.
Well done Jon on 42 points. We were discussing how you felt your game was coming together again over breakfast and it certainly did. A single figure handicap can't be far away.
Also many thanks to Glyn for organising West Hill on Monday, another top course, and for Dave, Paul and Matt for their great company on the day.
A shout out too to Captainron, Artyd, LQ, Anotherbridesmaid, and jobr1850 for a memorable evening at the steak restaurant. Was simply checking in to the Premier Inn when I got an invite to join them and sums up what a great community this is.

You sure did, never seen a round before when someone has hit the hole so many times and nothing fropped - must have been about 13-14 times.
I'm even considering aimpoint myself.......

Big Thanks to Glyn, Richard & Vicky, the Golf Monthly staff, especially Mike Harris, the wonderful Ladies who made it all happen on the day, Mark Head for loosening our pockets & the guys from Battleback for explaining why we were all there on Tuesday.
Special thanks to my playing partners FairwayPhil (he hit most of them), Nick Upjohn (who didn't) and late replacement Bill from Blackmoor GC. Great fun with them trying to figure out where were going from green to tee then tee to blind fairway...
Managed a decent round after 12 hours sleep (first since previous Friday, for obvious reasons...ask Glyn). Second best score of the day with 4 Blobs defending my title wasn't too shabby until you find out your best (ex) mate has shot 8 points better Well played Jon, Single Figure golf is just around the corner.
The course was majestic but definitely needs playing a few times to find out where to place blind tee shots & the odd blind shots into Greens. I will definitely be back...
Finally, congratulations to a worthy recipient of the Special Forum Award. Fish, you're a Legend in your own Living Room & I'm proud to call you a mate. Keep it going fella...
Radders out!

First year on the forum, I would just like to thank everyone for a special couple of days down in Surrey for H4H Charity Day (Golfing & Social). Especially to Rich Hart, Glyn, & Cameron plus all behind the scenes running the events. Both courses were superb condition, always love to play a tricky heathland track... great to win the Committee Cup also!
Great to see how much was raised for H4H, well done to all.
Thanks to my playing partners it was a pleasure to meet you all, hopefully will be attending more event days in the future.

Finally managed to get a minute to myself today.
Long week but by hell it was worth it.
Ryder cup last weekend (have I mentioned that 😉) then an overnight bus from Paris to Aldershot to meet up with Cam, Arthur and Dan.
Good day at West Hill and an awesome steak in the evening. Heavens Kitchen for anyone in the Farnham area is well worth a visit, service and food was just 1st class.
Then onto the main event at Liphook.
Now when Robin said he was stepping down I can’t remember if I offered or was bullied into it by Richart I had no idea how much goes on.
Cameron and myself tried as hard as we could to get things for the auction and I had no idea just how hard that would be, I know many clubs get asked for 4 balls as we get around 100 requests a week but to all the clubs that did reply to me regardless if they could help or not thanks it’s much appreciated.
it’s been a pleasure to help in the small way we have done.
Now, the work Rich and Vicky do is something else, I know we all help on the day but behind the scenes the work is truly incredible, the hours both have dedicated to this day for the forum is outstanding.
I really do say on behalf of the forum thanks for all you both do. Rick would have been so proud to see the day still continuing the way it has done ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘

Just want to say a big thanks to everyone on the forum that supported the day this year. Taking into account those that entered the handicap challenge, provided three balls, played on the day, and bid so generously we look like we will be raising well over £18,000, which will be a record for us. The grand total raised now stands at £115,000.
Thought Liphook was in fantastic condition, and pleased to see the greens were as good as I predicted. The fairways were the best heathland ones I have played on in the last few months, and we didn't really need lift and place. Secretary told me they have their own water supply, but had only had to use 2/3 over the summer. Wish they could have piped some to my course.
Congratulations to Jobr1850 for a stunning score of 42 points. The other 82 players found the course much harder, and the next best score was 36 points from GM's Elliot Heath. Sawtooth will be posting all the scores shortly.
Personal thanks to Glyn, Vicky, Cameron, Mike H, Laura, Zara, Mark our auctioneer, and Sean, Phil and Mike our scorers. You all did and amazing job, and they were all very impressed at Liphook how smoothly the day went. Sorry you didn't get your bacon roll Glyn. Think someone else ate it.
I thought we would be in trouble when Robin (Fish) stepped down, but Glyn proved to be a top replacement, and I got two for the price of one, with his side kick Cameron. Don't listen to Glyn when he plays down his involvement. A huge amount of the monies we raised are down to his hard work, and amazing scrounging skills. Hopefully he and Cam will stick around for future H4H days.
Lovely to have Barrie Griffiths represent Help for Heroes, and talk about his own experiences, and how H4H has helped him. No one that heard Barrie speak was left in any doubt why the charity is so important to so many servicemen and women. I know he was really pleased that we had two Battle Back guys playing, and they add so much to the day.
Details of the day will appear in the December issue of Golf Monthly, so make sure you get a copy. Photos will be posted on the Golf Monthly website shortly. Hopefully my missed putt for a seven will not be included.
I know Rick would have been so proud of the day.
Thanks again to everyone involved
