H4H day Storybook

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!

Love your new siganture.:thup:

Sorry about the prizes. There were two West Hill books as prizes for long drive and nearest the pin. We never thought the same person would win both.(bit greedy ?) Blame the organizers very poor show.:)
 
Thanks for a great day - was an absolute gem where for me the golf came second to he amount everyone raised for a most worthy cause.

Can't wait till next year even if it means another 600 mile round trip :-)

Well done to all and the organisers :cheers:
 
West Hill was my first H4H day and an absolutley brilliant day it was to. It all started the night before meeting up with a few forumers (Fish, Hobbit, Kraxx, BlueInMunich, Viscount17 and Adiemel) for a beer and curry, a good night and a right good laugh, it set us up perfectly for the following day.

WesT Hill GC, what a cracking venue, the course was superb, the greens immaculate and even the weather gave us some sunshine to make the golf enjoyable.

Congratulations to ChrisD for winning, practice and persistence does pay off.

Thankyou to my playing partners, Bill Elliot, PhiltheFragger and Kraxx, the company made the round nice and relaxed, even though playing first and my first shot was topped off the 3rd into the heather with the second provisional following suit straight after. Bill kept us all entertained with some of his stories about some of the people he has met and he has met a lot of the golfing greats. Whatever you do, do not think 'Pussy' as a swing thought :D

Thankyou to Rich and Rick for organizing the day and a big thankyou to the ladies who worked in the background helping make the day run smoothly.

Thankyou to West Hill GC, as above a superb course, beautiful surroundings and afterwards an excellent meal.

Thankyou Mark the auctioneer, very entertaining while trying and succeeding in lightening the pockets of a good few people.

All in all a magnificent day and one last thankyou to all the forumers I met for whom I cannot remember their real or forum names.

Must remember to book two night in the hotel next year, me and Kraxx got back to Newcastle at 00:45 this morning, only fell asleep once while driving but made it look like I was moving into the fast lane to overtake :mmm:

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:

They did call us through whilst waiting to tee off. It did give us the chance to see LIG play one of his provisionals off the tee!

Well if you invite me over to Centurion for a game to pick up the camera it could be quite interesting!! ;) :whistle:

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!

Thats fair enough, one of their fourball did the same to us. I'm absolutely not naming names though!:D
 
Top effort yesterday chaps, you've probably been told and read the same kind of thing over and over but really, excellent job to everyone involved with the organizing of the day, don't think it could have gone any better. The golf on my part left a lot to be desired as all 3 of my playing partners will vouch for (Blue in Munich, Therod and Davey), had 41 points the day before so was really looking forward to continuing the good form yesterday....wasn't to be unfortunately and was incredibly embarrassing at times.

Tried introducing myself to Rick as we were leaving so he could put a face to a name....he just laughed at me....LMAO....either I'm hilariously ugly (probably) or he didn't hear what I was saying and did the only thing you can do when you don't hear someone properly, laugh and nod, I do it all the time. Nice to meet you though.

One other thing, I heard a vicious rumour that someone came in with 2 points?? Is this true??

I nearly hit Fish and his group with a well struck wood. I blame Viscount17 for giving me a yardage of 240 yards which I would be hard pushed to reach with 2 shots.

Again, thanks to all involved for a great day, could not see how it could have gone any better other than me remembering to bring a golf swing with me next time. Still, at least I had Viscount for company who had the same number of points as Swinger's caddy after 4 holes. Been playing great recently but yesterday it all went to pot. At least I briefly held the longest drive position as I started on 18 and I was the only one out of the first 2 groups to hit a fairway.

Knackered at work today after leaving home at 4.30 yesterday morning and getting back at 10.30 last night as my sat nav decided to keep telling me that roads were closed and to change route.

I will post my annual plugging thread for the companies that gave us support yesterday and if you see me plugging their products on Twitter then please re-tweet.
 
Is there a score chart anywhere we can have a gander at and see how everyone else faired out there in the heat of battle?

Indeed I believe it is, but I also believe it was a guest who has only just picked up the game. Apparently was in the pro shop before-hand saying that he was a bit nervous as he hadn't broken 130 yet. Absolutely fair play though for getting involved in a day like yesterday with 100+ people there.

Will let one of the scorers / playing partners confirm or deny ...
