H4H day Storybook

Fantastic day, brilliantly run by the dynamic duo of RickG and Richart. Still got a feeling I was politely mugged for the GM Editor auction item but it matters not a jot. It was great to see so many faces old and new and it was a fantastic day at a fantastic venue. I had a great day in the company of MikeH LIG and El Bandito and the GM guru and I took the other two guys on with losers putting £5 each in the bucket. Mike snaked a four footer at the last to sneak the win.

LIG drove the ball wonderfully and El Bandito was a picture of consistent net par golf all the way round. I drove well but had a dose of the slices with irons and hybrids off the turf. Frustrating but it wasn't a day for worrying about technique and the score didn't really matter.

There was a GM snapper going round all day. Is there going t be a gallery put up at any stage?

Put me down for next year and West Hill were perfect hosts. Fantastic course. I had a blast and can't wait to do it again. Thank you to my partners, everyone who worked behind the scenes and everyone who turned up for making it a memorable day. I even managed to win a couple of vouchers for the Army GC and Bramley (Payment just made via RickG's link) so looking forward to using those next summer when my place is closed for Royal Ascot race week

OH YES I can confirm that I was that person. I have been playing the game for around 18 months. Yesterday was actually only my 6th round of golf on an 18 hole course. I have been having lessons and use the driving range and played the 6 hole and 9 hole course at my club about 3 times a month over the last year. I joined the forum last year just around the time of the last H4H day and my golfing aim for this year was to attend this years event. My main problem is inconsistency with my irons. I hit a good shot and follow it with fats or thin or a big shank. All I can say is I most probably set the lowest score on a forum meet but I had the best day's golf and fun I have had.

Well done for taking part, having fun is what it's all about, I had an absolute stinker yesterday, couldn't hit a ball to save my life but good company, bit of banter, decent nosh and almost got myself a 4 ball at Chart Hills which would have rounded the day off beautifully but was outbid. Don't know who the chap was who outbid me but like I said last night, if you need a 4th for that round of golf....cough cough!
 
A superb day on a fantastic golf course in incredible weather....just a shame I played like a right muppet.
Never mind.
Thoroughly enjoyed the company of my playing partners, (Slasher Nash, Tiger and Mark Head the auctioneer), I apologise to all for any bad language I may have used out there..:o
It dawned on me that it was going to be one of "those" days when I checked my scorecard after 5 holes and realised I had amassed 1 point but that's golf.
Highlight of the round (well one of the best laughs) was watching Tiger trying to play an almost impossible bunker shot towards the end of the round...
This picture shows him contelmplating the shot....

This one shows him actually playing the shot.....

This one shows him playing his next shot.....

And this one shows the end result....:D

Thanks to Rich, RickG and everybody else concerned with making this a great day.

What a great day, well done guys! Astonishing amount of money raised.

Kudos to the GM posse for supporting the day.

Mahoooosive congrats to ChrisD for winning the trophy with his 40pts playing off 10, although I can't figure out how his round of 75 (6 over par?) with no blobs didn't win him the lowest gross :confused:

Well done Smiffy!

You were a real pal yesterday, those few words meant more to me than you will know.
 
By the way did anyone measure the longest drive on the 18th.
Surely this was not the best hole to have the longest drive as there was a bunker
at 280 ish right in the middle of the fairway.
Im hoping the forum average wasn't dented.

Yup, from the whites on the tee box using my Bushnell I measured the marker at 287yds.
