This Years Help 4 Heros match

[rickg]

Preliminary total raised: £5852.08

Included in this is £1860 to collect from the auction bidders.

Also we still have the Powakaddy bag to auction when we receive it and I have some wristbands still to sell.

This should take us over the £6,000 mark when we have finished, which is double what we set out to raise.

A huge thanks to GB72 for organising most of the prizes and to everyone who has contributed towards this amazing total

A huge thanks to Rick for a cracking day, well organised and smoothly run.

Nice to put some more faces to forumites names, especially Quinn and Full Throttle, was great fun playing with you guys and look forward to playing again, Viscount and GB72 look forward to a game in the foreseeable future, as well as meeting guys like JammyDodger, Sweaty Sock and the legend that is Timgolfy.

As always with forum organised games, looking forward to the next one already

All in all was a cracking day, decent money was raised for H4H and all went home happy

ps forgot the camera so no piccies, sorry

 

[Leftie]

Well done Rick and GB72.

Nice work by everyone who helped with the organisation and well done Rick for spear-heading the whole thing. Looking forward to next year already

I'd like to add my thanks to Rick for organising the day. Thats a terrific total that has been donated by some very generous people. Thanks also to GB72 for getting some superb prizes donated by the generous manufacturers also.

Thoroughly enjoyed my round with Rick,Pieman and Murph (once Rick finally turned up on the tee). Half dressed and running to the tee he proceeded to just smash one down the middle nearly as far as me

4 hours of mickey taking later and some good golf played by all of us at times (especially Pieman with his 37 points). Plenty of laughs and I have to say once the rain disappeared it took Rick's golf with it

Here's a couple of photos I managed to take
Pieman blasting another laser like iron

Rick holing out

Ricks doing his flapping chicken impression ? or practicing his lightning rod stance ?

Spot the balls in the next 2 photos , Piemans going arrow straight on a lovely trajectory and Ricks going .......

Latest update is below. I'm just chasing up the money for 2 remaining auction items and I still have to upload the wristband money, (still have 8 to get rid of!).

Also I need to work out how they associate GrumpyJocks £200 donation to our funds as it doesn't show on the Charity page.

Final total is looking in the region of £6,500

Any more photos lurking out there?

 

[GB72]

If it does not throw a spanner in the works, there is one more auction item to come. Callaway were a bit late responding but there is a FT-9 Tour driver on the way (do not know shaft or loft until it arrives). Should be here by the weekend and then up on the for sale section.

Sweet!

 

[rickg]

Well that was spooky!!! Just received the £160 for the trolley so only 1 outstanding now from the assistant pro at my club for £50......

 

[rickg]

Received the final auction money now (subject to the yet to occur Callaway driver auction)

 

[GB72]

Had a card through the door last night so should be able to pick the driver up in the morning and will be on the for sale section tomorrow afternoon/evening

 

[rickg]

All monies are in now, (just paid the £232 we raised from the donations for 100 wristbands - thanks to the Blackmoor crew for taking the last 8 off me.. ).

That has taken us to £6,504.50.

I just need to call the HFH team in the morning to see how I get GrumpyJock's £200 attributed to our event.

Thanks to everyone involved....it's been emotional ...roll on next year...

Top effort Rick, well done mate

 

[richart]

Brilliant effort Rick, and all your helpers.

 

[grumpyjock]

Well done Rik an outstanding effort.
next year will be difficult to beat then.
Have to think ahead about prizes and such like.
Had no word back from H4H about the cheque yet.

Spoke to a nice lady at HFH today, she's looking into it.
