You mean the one where I was trying to retrieve Duncan Mackies ball?.........I had to get it for him as he couldn't fit in the ditch!!!! :o :whoo:

Ps.....which way is it to the 17th tee?... :o

Depends if you want to go the scenic route or the direct one.:ears:

At least you got to see where Homer's drive finished.:ooo:
 
I don't know if it was widely known that MashlyR7 who came 2nd and I play at the same course in Ashford, Kent. He gave me stick cos he won morning and afternoon at Woburn on the Friday, where I only won the afternoon round on the Wednesday! The drive home yesterday was better than it might have been had he pipped me. :rofl:




Enough for now, I'm off to the range for a spot of practice before tomorrow's encounter with Jimboo!

The company was about all I was good for, certainly wasn't that entertaining to watch! Even struggled being good company toward the end as I slowly drove myself insane with numerous 3 putts, hooks, slices and chunks. Was nice to watch a couple of low handicappers in action, Dave and I didn't realise you had such a good score going until you got awarded the best score through 9, or whatever the prize was. Good shooting sir.

Well if you were struggling to be good company it didn't show, thoroughly enjoyed it. Very kind re the score, Nick deserves a lot of credit for that, he was pushing me hard all the way and I only pipped him by one over that 9.

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.

Do they not have a handicap committee at your club.....or is it just a random number generator??? :whistle: :rofl:

Indeed, possibly the first time off the whites, at a forum meet, playing with strangers..... and flippin' heather everywhere!!

Yes was the first time I had played off whites. I can't thank everybody enough for their encouragement and kind words. I was made to feel so welcome by everybody. To be able play such a special course and for such a great cause was what it was all about for me and also to meet people I read comments from on here. I will be there next year for sure. I would say to any one wondering about doing a forum meet to go for it its the best thing you can do.
 
Just like to say many thanks to Rick and Richard for a great day at a great course. It was a great event that I am thankful to be apart of. Well done ChrisD, it's a great score on a tough course. I have now paid for the Slaley Hall fourball. Thanks again. :thup:

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

Adie has already 'fessed up about being the two pointer, but as one of his playing partners, I want to add this;
It was an absolute pleasure playing with the guy.
Right from the very start it was plain to see that he was very nervous & anxious about playing such a course with people he'd never met before, BUT, and that was a big but, I probably learnt more from him than he did from me!
I learnt that, despite having a shocker of a game, one can still smile ALL THE WAY ROUND without having the need to throw clubs, look pissed off or even swear, in fact I don't recall hearing him curse even once.
I have nothing but respect for the guy ........................... he certainly taught me a thing or too!
Top marks to adiemel, well done mate.

Slime.
 
I know I'm a bit late to this thread already but yesterday was great! Well done to all involved, superbly orgnised and very generous from all players. I enjoyed the course a lot and the company was good.

As Chris has said us Kent boys have show everyone how to play recently! Triple winners at Woburn then 1st & 2nd yesterday. I'd love to be able to put my cards to bring me down a few points!
 
Thank you Slime they are very kind words. You, Ian and Chris were brilliant to spend the time with. You all encouraged me as we went round. You guys helped make yesterday a memorable day.

Thanks to Rich and Rick and there team for a great day. What a lovely course in lovely company, thanks to Stuart (Golf ball Whacker Guy), Martin and my guest Steve.

I played some of the best golf this year on the day but messed up four holes for blobs. A respectable 35 points, I also had longest drive for about a hole :P

Looking forward to next year.

Greatest of respect to you Adiemel. You played it for exactly the same reason that we all did and came away with the admiration of us all!

I saw Mashleys dad this evening who said how well he did yesterday. I subtely asked if he had said who beat him ....... No he didn't!

I would also like to point out that Jimboo is playing me tomorrow and he was at the golf range practising....... Isn't that cheating?
