H4H day Storybook

Today was one of the golf days that you just wish you could bottle forever.

A super course, great food and some of the best golf I've ever cobbled together. Add to that Jezz Elwood, Ian (Imurg) and Steve (Arnold Arm. chewer) as playing partners and it was a great day!

I am in awe at what James of HFH had to say and more so with the work that Rick and Richard put in to put this on - you guys are legends! HFH will benefit hugely from your work - thanks!

40 points off my new 10 handicap shows that this years work is starting to pay off. Finally, I'd like to thank the forum guys for their great comments, it meant a lot to me and shows that GM is just special!

What a pleasure to mark the winners card, fame vicariously but hey! Chris played fantastically well and his 40 points could have been more. Ian & Jezz were great playing partners, all in all I don't believe we could have had a more enjoyable day, thank you to each of my partners but most of all thanks to Rick & Rich and their back up team, everything was perfect even the weather. So pleased that H4H have gained from our enjoyment.
 
As it has been said a great day and with my guests picking up some plonk for coming second in the team event ;) me for eating as much as I could carry, and being rightly entertained in the auction (Nearly got the Berkshire......:( ) all made for satisfied customers.

Being an ex squaddie and with mates currently out in Afgan and some suffering etc from the past it was great to see so much support and money raised from the "civies" and well done to all who organised it and contributed. :thup: it was impressive and brilliant to be a part of!

Has anyone see Rick...is he still doing his speech over breakfast ??? :whistle: I promise Ill never complain about slow play again! :)

Well done to all :clap:
 
Great day guys, good to meet some new faces, MaslyR7 played some really solid golf, no blobs for 38 i think, nothing flash or silly, just some really sound golf! I was a bit more all or nothing! (Quite literally!) Lost my first ball off the first tee and then managed to keep the 2nd on for all 18 (although somehow lost 2 provisionals!) The walk to the 6th was not bad at all either, closer than you think! and still managed to get back,showered with pint in hand before a lot of people got back in!

I blobbed 5 holes and scored a single point on 6, so to be fair i was mildly happy with 24 points, when you work out that's 18 points from 7! just need to get going for an entire round! Some highlights for me golf wise were about 5 birdie chances, stiffing a hybrid from 210yards to within 10ft, and a few other approaches were really nice too. including almost pitching in from 60 yards with a wedge for eagle (to then 2 putt for par!)

Had a go on the challenge on the 12th at hitting the green, was agonisingly close, (see pic)

Auction was great, shame i am skint at the minute, loads of stuff i wanted to go for, but the wife would have killed me!

Don't think i was the worst dressed there either which is nice!! although i am gonna have to get the "vanish" out for my white troo's.

Huge thanks to Rick and Rich (and the others) for a great day, great value too, course was great, company was great and thefood was excellent as always. Well done everyone! Fish and I will try and work out who won the brand challenge and chase you all for more money!!

Here is to next year!!

Hmm, could be some interesting pre-West Hill pictures on it Rick?
 
I just want to echo the thanks that everybody else has said. Can I also say as some one who was on his first forum meet and may have set the record for the lowest points scored on a forum meet, thank you every body for a fantasticday. If you have never been on a forum meet before and wonder whether to go on I can honestly say YES you must attend. They are the best day you will ever have. Good fun, good company a great course.

James won both, the nearest the pin being the most prestigious, that was a tough pin.

The rumour that Jezz won it was not true.;)

A West Hill member won the day. He left a maximum bid with Rick, but unfortunately he forgot to out bid Homer. Thanks to Homer for letting the auction start again.:thup:

I nearly wiped out Mike for good with a 5 iron to the downhill par 3 whist he was on the next tee box, then we could have done the biggest job share in the world between us all!
 
Really great day. Thanks so much to Darren and Chris for their company, one of the most pleasurable rounds I've played in a good while. The course was ridiculously good!

As many others have said, and should continue to do so, thank you again to Rich and Rick. The level of organisation that went into yesterday was insane and everything ran so smoothly.

Was more than pleased with nicking the Long Drive and Nearest the Pin! However, I'm sure I'd have also picked up a prize for most number of putts as well!

Rick, I know you asked us not to mention it just yet ....... but when's the next one! Looking forward to it already!

Was that the 9th, where it said 'do not tee off until the next tee is clear' ? Sounds like a heavy fine to me.:whistle:
