H4H day Storybook

Thank you Chris. Such kind words. I can't thank people enough for the day yesterday.

That's what the forum is about - everyone is appreciative of anyone who makes an effort, I've done a few meets this year and the banter is brilliant but the respect and friendliness is second to none.

That is what a forum meet is all about, and hope he plays again next time.:thup:

He will be, he's already booked a lift and he raved about the meet and the encouragement he got from all he met all the way home (and his wife has already given him his pass for next years event)

My own performance was bad enough to make GB72 look good (calculated of course as a reward for all his hard work ;)).
Lost surprisingly few balls, mainly due to Swingers uncanny ability to spot a lost one, (and I had better say this before Greg does), also due to the unbelievably short distances that my ball travelled off the tee.

But, I had a great day, made all the better for meeting up with so many old friends (I will try to get out more next season), and proud as hell to have helped in some small way to have achieved that total - as you all should be.

. . . and with Loudmouth vouchers in the auction, who else was going to be bidding, I'm planning next years ensemble even now!!

great day guys and gals. rick, richart - awesome job (oh, and richart - next year in strictly?)

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!

Is Kent the new "Mexico" ??? :rofl: :rofl:
 
Just like to say thanks for all the very kind words.

To be involved in the day was a privilege, very emotional, I still am typing this (is there a little tear button on here ?), and to be able to share it with so many good men and women an absolute pleasure. We may have our squabbles on the forum, but when we all pull together we can make a real difference, in this case to the lives of real heroes. I am very proud to be one of 103 golfers that made it on to the course (not one player pulled out on the day) and by doing so we will always share the experience.

Thanks to Mike and everyone at GM for all your support. Mike in particular has been incredibly generous to the charity, not just with prizes, auction items etc, but with his personal time. To me that is more important. I salute you in a way I know you will appreciate.:cheers:

Thanks to Duncan and his guest Terry for your company on the course. Enjoyed every minute even if if my golf was poor. The sight of Duncan scrambling into a deep ditch down the third was priceless. It must have been five foot deep, and two foot wide, but he was determined he could still play out. I think he also learnt a good lesson that it is easier to get into a deep ditch than get out of one.:whistle:

My third playing partner was Rick, who is just a top bloke. It was a pleasure mate both on and off the course, and if you fancy giving it another go next year, I might be up for it. The two days at Blackmoor (thanks Paul and Rob) and West Hill were just superb, and to think I met you all, and so many other friends through this strange internet site thingy.

I thought West Hill was in stunning condition, probably the best I can remember. It is also a lovely members Club, and perhaps you can see why I want to play there as much as possible. One day I will join.

Off the white tees I thought 36/37 points would have a chance of winning, but Chrisd's score of 40 points was exceptional. Having played with Chris, who happens to be another good bloke, perhaps I shouldn't have been surprised. A very worthy winner.

Thanks again to everyone who contributed to a fantastic day, and who helped raise a staggering amount of money. You have made a difference.:thup:

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 ;)

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!

That was me who won the chart hill 4 ball. I'm not promising anything, but looking at your signature your choice of football team has just increased your chances.;):thup:
 
Just got home for the first time since yesterday and I want to add my huge thanks to RickG and Richart for another fantastic H4H day! The trend is that each year it gets better, so what the hell is 2014 going to be like?!

Got to say that West Hill is a lovely course and well worth a visit for anyone that wasn't there yesterday. They really looked after us with their welcome and lovely meal, plus the course was in fine condition. It musn't be underestimated what their contribution was towards making the day an all round top result.

I met a number of new faces yesterday, Arnold ArmChewer, Slime, Adiemel (who I gave a big thanks to!), Kraxx, Viscount to name just a few. It was also really good to meet and shake hands with the GM team.

My group of Fish (Rob), Sev112 (Steve) and Nick Bonfield made my day a great one, thanks guys, and helped me through what was a shockingly inconsistent performance. I swear that I found at least one tree or bunker on every hole, but I still started every hole with a smile.

A big thanks goes to Nick who is a credit to the GM team and took the bit of ribbing that we gave him with the best of spirits and even shouted us at the 'halfway' hut. Plus, I have to own up to being the one that marked his card wrongly as announced by Rick and no, I didn't realise that I'd made a mistake. :o

Now, as the auctioneer would say, all those that want to play again next year, put your hands up,
 
ok...sorry for the delay....here are the scores......

Forumers scores......... click a couple of times......hope its big enough...if not, I'll try something else..

best par 3 scores, Front 9, Back 9, Overall, Gross (stableford points minus handicap)

Well done rick, top work fella, you as well rich, you were wonderful !!:D you did seem like a nervous bag of energy when we spoke in the morning!! I can only guess at how stressful the organising must be.

Homer must be happy now his mid table mediocrity has been confirmed :thup:

Cheers to rich, swanny and Davy for your company.

Did anyone see the strange looking fella with the rucksack? I thought he was a rambler that took a wrong turn. It wasn't until he got up close and heard the distinct kiwi twang I realised it was foxy!! He was there fleetingly and gone in flash...off to discuss swing dynamics with JO no doubt!!!:blah::thup:

Delighted to see that everyone had a great day out on a fantastic golf course. For those that don't know, West Hill, Worplesdon and Woking all back onto each other to make a brilliant trio of courses. Some people will tell you that the Worplesdon or Woking are better but they clearly know nothing about golf courses, WH is my favourite of the 3 by a country mile.

And a stupid amount of money raised too, big congratulations to all involved :thup:
