Firstly well done for a great score. Just interested what course you play down in Ashford as I'm moving down to Canterbury soon and was looking for a course nearby where the handicap travels well ;)

We play at Ashford (Kent) Golf Club and I'd be delighted to have a bash round there with you sometime. They plan to sell off the course and move in the coming years and it will move us away from the busy M20 motorway to a quieter location, I hope. Canterbury Golf Club is a lovely course and very similar to ours except it has a brilliant golf range. If you fancy a knock there and want, say a 4 ball, it shouldn't be difficult to sort. The two clubs (and others) have a mid week deal between them of a round at about £15 and encompasses about 6 clubs all decent ones

Just shout if you want

Highlights:
Smiffy hurling his club on the 4th when he topped his drive into the heather :rofl:

I would just like to point out that this was not a "hurl" Tiger.
It was a gentle "lob".
I was going to hurl, but my temper had subsided by the time I got the club over my shoulder, and I merely gave it a wrist flick back in the general direction of my bag.
I can do hurl. Believe me. My duffed approach into the first hole was the closest I came to a hurl all day.
Oh....and my 3 attempts to get out of the greenside bunker on 18 came close to a hurl too. But I was in front of the clubhouse so controlled myself (rather admirably I thought).
I was so scared of knifing one through the clubhouse windows I took too much sand. Three times. Bugger

To be fair Smiffy, with all that casting at fishing I'd have thought your hurling would be of single figure standard by now!
 
What can I say to add to the above comments. A totally brilliant day.

Rick and Rich were awesome. To everyone involved in organising and running the day a very very big thank you.

And what a great course. A real, old fashioned, golfers' course to test every part of your game. 40 points was amazing. Well done Chris.

Finally of course what it was all about. Giving something to help those who have given so much, made it so worthwhile.

A truly great day for the Forum.



PS thanks to Foxy for snapping me in a pose that makes me look like a half decent player and belies my actual performance on the day. :)

It was perfect in it's execution Chris. Beautiful backswing, felt the weight in my wrist, a deft flick and it sailed majestically through the air to land perfectly on the sole of the club right by the side of my bag. I only had to bend down to pick it up. I used to throw them much further but soon got cheesed off with having to walk some distance to retrieve them. Try to perfect the "lob"...it is much more useful.

He says, puffing out his chest, " I didn't have any reason to "lob" a club at any stage in the day! :whoo:
 
Relatively pleased with my position and now thinking of those lip outs and duffed tee shots that cost me a few shots :(

Chuffed Nick Bonfield and I were joint 1st in the forum Par 3 scores along with 2 others (chrisd & pokerjoke), we both nailed the greens and parred them well.

Some surprising scores though, Smiffy said to me at Cooden he was shocked when he saw my score/s down their, well ditto son, thought you'd be a bit more dizzier heights than that matey ;)

Sean (Sawtooth), just like your team buddy, no stamina :rofl:

And me it would appear - half my score from the par 3's is a shock.

Thanks to all involved for great day - what a pleasant way (despite my golf on the longer holes) to raise a huge amount of money for a great cause.

Josh (Cheif0), Kevin (KevinC) and Dave (Kevin's Guest) - thanks for your company.

Roll on next year.

As a good friend once said...

Him - "It was really quite tough out there given the circumstances, and you'd have to be a good player to get more than 35pts when playing a course you don't know"

Me - "You're right..... how did you get on then?"

Him - "36pts" :clap:



Just glad I wasn't at the bottom.... no need to give you gits any more ammo to use against me :ears:

A great thank you to R&R, Golf Monthly and helpers for making it such a fantastic meet, it doesn't get much better than this, you even managed to arrange beautiful, warm October sunshine. The course was in great nick and definitely one that I will want to play again and again.

And, as is very often the case at these meets the company was very enjoyable thanks to Metalmickie, Sainthacker and Rob2. Some good, bad and down-right ugly shots had by all. It was also a very good job that there wasn't a swear box in sight!

Shot of the day, Rob's tee shot on the 211yd par 3 15th, knocked it to about 4ft and holed out for a 2 :thup:

Keep that tenner safe mate, last I looked we were looking down on your lot:lol:
 
Apologies to Dufferman, his score was entered incorrectly on the spreadsheet and his handicap not adjusted to what he had put on his card....he actually had 33 points off 19 and not 27 off 18 as shown in the results post.....I'll amend it and put up a n new one.....it didn't affect any prizes but might impact the brand challenge scores if he was in it....

We had a "helper" putting in some scores while we had the main group photo taken......:(

Let me know if anyone spots any other errors....I still have all the cards so can easily check them.

I will be dining out on that one for quite a while :D

A belated thanks to everyone involved on the day. Having a great time for a worthy cause is definately a win/win.

Thanks to my playing partners on the day, as ever, these rounds on great courses are made even better by great company and a good laugh.

Cant wait to see what R&R have in store for next year (no pressure chaps:)).
