Homer, I’m confused 🤔
deposit paid on the just giving pageI have now created the Just Giving Page for The Rickg Memorial Trophy Day which this year will be held at Coventry Golf Club on Thursday 15th August 2019, 2 days before the anniversary of when Rick passed after collapsing at and on his beloved Centurion Golf club and course.
I chose my home club again for our 2nd year of celebrating and remembering Rick as the club has given me courtesy of the course, as such 50% of the amount to join us and play at my course will go directly to Karen's (Rick's wife) chosen charity, being The British Heart Foundation.
To play and join us, whether you knew Rick or not, will be only £40 as it was last year. This is inclusive of all food before (Bacon Butty & Coffee) & after (2 course meal).
£20 will go direct to the British Heart Foundation through my Just Giving page (open now) but it MUST be stated that it is a DONATION only as you are not paying to play the course or getting anything for that £20, it's a donation to register, as such please add Gift Aid as it makes a huge difference towards my target. The remaining £20 will be paid in cash on the day as it's for the food and a small amount towards my admin (posters, flyers, laminating, prizes and much more..).
I will be posting up a sponsorship of holes, sponsorship of challenges and hopefully some sponsorship of playing with someone special, a separate more manageable post will be uploaded soon for all of that. In the meantime, if you simply want to donate any amount now, please visit my Just Giving page which can be found in my signature and links within this post.
We raised an amazing £1,543.81 last year, doubling my target, it's a big ask, but if we could get anywhere near that again it would be a fantastic achievement.
For any big hitters who'll be challenging for the longest drive, the humps have now been removed from our 6th split fairway and the fairway now runs flat all the way from tee to green, all 532 yards of it uphill!
I've obviously learned a little from our first meeting so I will be planning to have everyone go out possibly in 3-balls next year, and dependent on our numbers, I have the option of a 2 (two) tee start, a shotgun or simply all off the 1st tee. Obviously to achieve the shotgun start we will require some more numbers to join those already confirmed.
We are currently at a third of the numbers we had on our first day last year, I personally thought it was a very successful day and I know a lot of you traveled from all over to the join in, I'm aware there's a few expensive meets this year which no doubt is having an effect on some of you attending this year, but for £40 to play my course (with food) and for such a worthy cause and to remember someone who gave so much without a second thought to anyone on here, or in life in general, it would be nice to see a few more names now join us.
I am happy for you to bring friends and club mates with you to swell the numbers and help with travelling costs, the only caveat will be, that, the winner of the actual Rickg Memorial Trophy will have to be a forum member, although I will have a guest prize.
