Help For Heroes 2013

If you double up on the on the holes that don't have a par 3 preceding it the group playing the hole will only be hitting their 2nd shot into the green when the 2nd group on the preceding hole in front tee off.... probably badly explained but I blame my two friends Stella Artois and Glen Grant.

Yes, that's how it works :cheers:

Cant make it but will donate a dozen balls if thats ok.

 

[Birchy]

We do the doubling up thing at our course and its rarely ever slow. Faster than any rounds where everybody starts at first tee for some reason. No idea why though.

aslong as I start on the easiest hole I dont care

I'm in cheers Rick.

If anyone wants to make a weekend of it, we could arrange something at mine for the Sunday

 

[Fish]

I understand the concept but agree with stu, dead slow.

The only way I can see it work without making it overly slow is double up on par 5's only

We tend to double up in front of par 5's or long pa 4's, there not arriving at the tee then before the 2nd group tee off.

Having played there today, I can confirm there are no easy holes. Had a solid four stableford points after 6 holes.

Was it a birdie on a shot hole?

 

[G1BB0]

ah well, I will be back to 28 by then so 10 2 shot holes will do

Hmm, practising on the selected course

Any cheaper practice days for us mere mortals :mmm:

Right, im considering flying down Sunday and back Monday for this with a wee car rental for a day (unless a kind hearted forumer fancies picking me up from a local hotel at Heathrow early doors on the Monday)

Rick any idea of approx finish time so I can look at a flight?

I'll be coming past Heathrow as driving down the M40/M25 so can pick you up and drop you off Martin

That would be ideal Robin.

I need to do a bit of thinking I reckon rather than dive in.

I 'practiced' at Blackmoor for four years, but it didn't help me beat you last time.

I aim for consistency.

We will not know any times until we have a good idea of the numbers playing. We may not be able to do a shotgun start if we get the full 110, and may have to go to a two tee start, which will mean finishing later.

I only discussed holding the H4H day with the Club this afternoon, so full details of the day will be sorted out over the next few weeks.
