Hankley final details

[Dando]

SO glad we hung about this this morning despite the monsoon as the course was superb and so was the food
Thanks to my pp’s - both Paul’s and Jakob for a thoroughly enjoyable round.
Another good round off the tee with the driver saw me collect 37 points which was nice!
A big thanks to Glyn, Cameron, Richart and the other helpers for another 2 great days of golfing.
Where are we going in 2020?

I’m here and if the practice green is anything to go by we won’t be playing much golf. ☹️

Good call. I told you Hankley had a micro climate but would you listen ?

Just got back home after really good day at Hankley. Looked like there was no chance of getting out after the monsoon this morning but the course. stood up to it superbly. a cracking track and must go back sometime. Big thanks to Cam,Glyn and Rich for their great work again and to playing partners Sandy. Jan and Julian and Stan the Jack Russell impeccably behaved apart fron occasional half hearted growl on the downswing!!

Great course, apologies for leaving before prize giving, just made it back. Thanks to @Foxholer for an enjoyable day and well played.

Thought we were going to miss out on playing one of my favourite courses but incredibly the rain slowed down and then stopped and 18 holes in pleasant conditions ensued.
Great way to round off the last GM Meet of the year for me.
Even had a pretty clear drive back via Newbury and the A34.

I just wanted to echo what others have already said. We played Tandridge (badly) on the Monday and were planning on staying over locally, but had a crisis at work and I had to go home straight after lunch on the Monday.

It should have been just over 90 mins to Hankley from home but it took us 3.5 hours with rain and traffic! My guest and I agreed that if we had known it was going to take that long, combined with rubbish forecast we probably would have stayed at home. How glad am I that we made the effort to get back!

I still can't believe it cleared and we managed 18 holes with only a couple of showers, the course was absolutely stunning and I played so much better than at Tandridge. Having been a long time lurker on the forum it was good to finally get to an event and meet some forum members in person. And I'm already looking forward to the next one!

Huge congrats to the the guys who arranged the meet , to raise £16k is a truly fantastic achievement to be very proud of.

Always good to have some new forumers on the days Simon.

Once again a thoroughly successful 2 days and a very good total raised for HFH.

Thanks to all the players that paid for the rounds where money went towards the total.

Thanks to anyone that donated a round or a prize that could be auctioned for money that could help raise money towards the total.
There are some very generous people out there.

The 70 or 80 plus players should be thanked for there generosity in giving up there time,taking time off work,leaving loved ones at home it really wouldn’t be a success without us.

Thanks to Bigfoot and Crow for there company Sunday I really enjoyed that round.

Thanks to Martin,Mike and Steve for Monday nice to play with you for the first time.
Really impressed with Tegsi game once you learn to relax mate you will get that handicap down.

Lastly thanks to Stu and Dave for the laughs and banter couldn’t have asked for better company.

Mark (Radbourne) If you do read this I hope to see you somewhere in the near future.

Congrats to the winners on both days they were great scores on Trickey courses.

Good to hear the route worked out for you

Great couple of days! Thanks to everyone involved!
Tandridge had I think the best greens I’ve played on, ran soo true. Loved them...despite my seven 3putts... mainly from leaving above the hole or not playing enough break!
Played decent in patches, but struggled committing to some shots which lead to some poor holes. Never showcased more than the long 14th down the hill, great drive down the middle, 130 in....ended up with a 7! Was great playing Badger, GG26 and Pokerjoke, cheers guys!
Loved Hankley Common also, hit the driver well all day but was struggling with my 40-80 yard non full shot approaches which I seemed to have quite a few of. Plus struggled getting the pace on the greens after Tandridge. Again a great bunch of guys to play with though Arthur, George and including the legend that is Glyn.... the secret bandit!

Can’t wait until the next event!

Well done everyone!

Couple of great days golf and the weather even played ball, if what touch and go at Hankley for a short while.

Some good golf played at Hankley despite the early conditions, but the company was good, the banter was as usual a micky taking riot, Cheers Tony and Stu. Shame Mark had to leave as shortly after the 4th the weather was brilliant.

Ironically I won the wet weather Footjoy raffle prize, could've done with them at the start.

Thank you to all the organisers, till next year.
