Major Champion
Now the draw has been made, I will confirm the details for the H4H charity golf day at West Hill.
The Clubhouse will be open from 7.30, and registration will start from 8.00. It is important that you register when you arrive, and do not disappear and have your bacon rolls first. Assuming you have paid your deposit you will need to pay £45, preferably in cash and this money will go directly to the golf club for your golf and food.
You will have the opportunity (well it will be more compulsary) to enter the longest drive, nearest the pin, hidden holes prize competitions, as well as receive an official programme. The cost for this is £10. The programme not only has details of the fantastic work Help for Heroes does on behalf of our brave servicemen and women, it also has full details of the day ahead, and has an excellent article by Mike Harris about the Forum and its history. You may even find you get a mention.
You will also be able to buy raffle tickets if you have not already done so, or just fancy some more tickets. It would be great if everyone could bring along something to include in the raffle. Bottles, golf balls that sort of thing. This worked really well last year, with nearly everyone taking home a prize. In Smiffy's case the same one he brought.
Once registered it is coffee and bacon rolls, and then you need to get ready for the golf, shotgun start at 9.30. Those that are starting at the 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th will be best driving round to the 10th. There is a car park there, and you will need to leave an extra 10 minutes to get round to it. I will give details of how to get to the 10th later.
Those starting on the other holes can walk to their tees, but please wait to be told before walking off. We have hole sponsorship boards which need to be taken out to each hole. No one apart from those off the 6th will have too long a walk.
It is important that we keep up the pace of play, so if you can not score on a hole please pick up. The individual competition is Stableford, full handicap, but if you are not sure how to score this just put your gross scores down or ask you partners. We do not want to see any 11's for no points on the card ! The team prize will be based on the average score of the players in your group. This gives groups that might be reduced to three by a late drop out a chance of winning.
If you are the second group to tee off, wait until the ones in front are out of range and then go. Some holes have blind tee shots, but the holes will have a bell. 3rd, 6th spring to mind. Please wait until you hear the bell before teeing off, we don't want any injuries. Remember to ring the bell yourself for the group behind.
Hopefully that covers the start of the day. I will add another post to this thread for after your round. Please do not reply to this thread until I have done the next post.
