H4H 2nd October 2018

[richart]

Next years Help For Heroes day will be held on Tuesday 2nd October at Hankley Common. :thup:

Hopefully a full years notice will mean a good turn out from forumers. This years day was in my opinion the best yet in terms of golf, food, and general hospitality. Hankley have given us the same deal for next year. £60 for golf and food, and there will be the usual donation of £30 to the charity.

I will post full details of the day, and set up a justgiving site to collect donations in the next month, but in the mean time make sure you are available for the day. Please do not make any donations to the existing justgiving site, unless of course you still owe monies.

Next years Ryder Cup finishes on the Sunday, so a long weekend could include watching the last day over a few beers, play on the Monday, and Hankley on the Tuesday. Details of extra golf available will be posted nearer the time.

Start making plans.

Well done to all the team.

I will be there next year :thup:

After missing the last couple, I hope to be able to make this one. Depends if I can save enough holidays or not!

 

[GB72]

Determined to make it back next year. Been really poor in my support for this over the last couple of years and it is time I started making an effort.

I think Hankley is more playable than both Camberly and North Hants - it’s not massively long off the yellows with generous fairways - greens were the truest we have played. But ultimately that’s not the whole idea of the day for me - it’s all about the setting and the reason we are all there. There is some punishing heather which will test most but golf is always a test.

I can’t wait to get back to Hankley next year and hopefully the date will be better some guests and the NW crew

Great news as was disappointing to miss the opportunity play Hankley this year.

Will definitely be there next year and suspect there will be a fair few of the NW mafia making their way down :thup:

 

[Hobbit]

I'll be there... might do a road trip via Hardelot and Le Touquet.

I know what Fragger's saying. A course like Hankley beats you into submission if you're not playing well - and the breeze didn't help.
It's a tough course and if you're not hitting well any course can become a slog. As LPP says, it's more about the day than playing well but......
I loved the course but didn't like playing it because I played so badly..
Next year it's getting a kicking!!

You sir are a man of taste although I would stick to the two at Le Touguet now Le Mer is back to its original layout and St Omar if you want a third.

If new boys allowed 2 Oct in the diary

Definitely. Appreciated your support with getting vouchers for us, so would be good to thank you in person.:thup:

Thinking of you when booked Chris.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Up for it and another that got beaten up badly by the course. Already gone into the leave system and booked the day off. I played badly but the course gave nothing either but if you couldn't enjoy being out there irrespective of how you scored, there was something wrong. Great surroundings, great hospitality and great cause. What's not to like?

Look forward to seeing you all next year. Would be great to get a really big forum turnout.

 

[Crow]

Brilliant work Richart!

I loved the course and the whole day, can't wait for next year and will try and keep some holiday in reserve to get a game in on the Monday and so avoid the 5 am start....

Leaves plenty of time to plan which vintage clubs to take.

A Tuesday you say? I usually wash my hair on a Tuesday

 

[PhilTheFragger]

I've removed my earlier post and would apologise to all concerned, not my intention to take anything away from the event or to diminish it in any way.

 

[chrisd]

Forget the course Phil, just go for the dinner mmmmmmmmmmmm

Trouble maker. You had better pay to play with a GM staffer or otherwise you are off the 11th, the nice long par 3 into the wind.:ears:
