Help 4 Heroes Bearwood Lakes Charity Golf Day - Monday 21st September 2020

So just me from Geordie land this year, Dave (Khamelion is giving it a miss this year) I've booked a camping site this year, £35 per night, what a steal and its 10-15mins from Bearwood. California Chalet and Touring Park, bit of glamping - #staysafe everyone and see you all there (y)

excellent - nice place a greta dogging location!! :eek::ROFLMAO:
 
The least said about my golf the better,

thanks to Bearwood Lakes for hosting, the staff for their service, the greenstaff for the condition of the course and of course my playing partners for the day SimonsMH, Homer and Dickon Bowden.
 
Absolutely fantastic day. A real shame we couldn't properly socialise but considering everything that's going on, to even get this to happen was amazing.

The course was in incredible condition, I was in awe of everything.

An absolute pleasure to play with Michael from Battle Back, Guy @Midnight and John @Troymcclure.

Big shout out to @richart and everyone else involved and all the staff at Bearwood.
 
Thanks to @richart and everyone else behind the scenes who organises this year after year.
Course was stunning, weather lovely and great company with @Traminator and @drive4show today.

Tip my hat to @Papas1982 as well who organised the warmup round yesterday at Sonning. Had never heard of it before, but showed to be a great track with the longest par 4s Ive ever played and the greens so quick I barely dared to hit the ball once on them. Great company there as well, and very nice to meet @full_throttle and @Simonsmh for the first time.

Cannot wait for next years course to be revealed! Hope we raised a lot of money as well for the heroes!
 
Just home from a weird H4H day...
Circumstances dictated it but it was still strange..
Thanks to Jon, Paul and Col for the banter - the least said about the golf the better although Paul and I gave the scores a modicum of respectability but not much.
Organisation seemed pretty seamless from signing in to food after so thanks to Bearwood for that.
Downsides..?
I thought the fairways were a bit shaggy and.....

Jeez it was slow.
Best part of 5 hours to get round, frankly, isn't fun.
Thankfully it was a nice day but it would have been an absolute slog if there had been any rain.
We need to do something about the pace of play
Just my tuppence worth.....

But, overall, Thanks to Rich again for the undoubtedly hard efforts Vicky puts in to make the day

Never have understood how no one on the forum is ever slow but almost every forum meet is. One of them cant be true ;)
 
A brilliant day again. Thanks to everyone that had some assistance in setting the whole day up and to everyone from Bearwood Lakes for making the day run smoothly. It was slow but at least it was sunny and warm. As for my golf, it started with some early promise and petered out into a pile of smelling manure. Got a feeling I'll be coughing up £20 to Fish and H4H as I'm sure he'll have beaten my score. As always, had an enjoyable group to play in and some nice golf on display from the others. Can't wait for the next one already
 
Bearwood as usual was in superb condition , immaculate greens , fairways lovely , great round

Cheers Rich for sorting it all out , such a shame you cooldnt make it , my guests will be back next year.

The staff at Bearwood were outstanding- food great ( managed to eat it this time ) and cheers once again for the volunteers.
