Who do you know on here?

[Deleted Member 1156]

Didn’t know anyone before I joined.
I’ve since played with & enjoyed the company of many forummers, on some cracking courses.

Good day out at Porthcawl a few years ago

No one, they are all knobs.

Oh, I did meet Smiffy once! See!

We've never met Scooter but you once offered to let me park in your drive (no that's not a euphemism )
That is going above and beyond forum expectations

Didn't know anyone when I first signed in - but have met quite a few since on various meets. First one I went to would be about 11 years ago at Leatherhead with about 8 or 9 others there. Can't remember all of them but I think Lefty and Murph were there. Then not too long after there was the inaugural forum "championship" (or I think it was something like that) at Homer's place where we had a trophy made up. It ran for a year or two I think before it got subsumed into other things. Have met & played with Brian the Hobbit a few times in Spain. Hope to meet a few more of you.

I remember playing with Brian at Woodhall. It almost got to the point where I just gave him any putt as soon as he was on the green, the hole must have looked like a skip to him that day

 

[Dando]

my first GM event was the titleist day at Silvermere where we played 18 holes before trying out the new gear.

my first proper meet was a 36 holer at Woburn and since then I've met some absolute knobs fantastic people

Looking back it’s amazing how many people I’ve played with from on here:

D4S, Rod & Paul at Porthcawl
Hobbit at North Hants
Paul, Richart & Fish, and TwoBlue and Wilson at Swinley

LP at Camberley
Kraxx & Kamelian a few times(my trolley still has a ball sized dent in it from Camberley)
Radbourne, Pokerjoke & SILH at Farnham
RickG at Tidworth
Midnight 2 rounds at Woburn
Wookie and Crow at Gainsborough
Fenwayrich, Paperboy at Sunningdale
Junior at Hillside & West Hill
Plus Mike, Jez, Elliot and Michael from GM

Just remembered I met up with I think it was Hawkeye in Florida as we both happened to be at the same resort at the same time that had 3 golf courses on it. So had a very enjoyable round with him and then a couple of beers with him and his family afterwards. Very pleasant.

From my limited experience I've found that people in real life are very similar to their personas on the forum. There was one exception where a forum big mouth at the time turned out to very timid and bit of a sad man in M&S clothing from the 1980s in real life. But on the whole people probably give more away about their real life personalities on the forum then they realise.

Joined in 08 whilst living in NZ to keep up date with UK golfing scheme, returned in 13 and have meet many since although still waiting to do a H4H day.
Hosted a few at own club and one even ended up joining, also been hosted away.
Guess would know around 20 -25 but special,mentions to Fish, LQ , Bigfoot, Crow, StuartC and Adasko.
But extra special as it was the best day ever on a golf course at Hillside with Hobbit, Pokerjoke and sadly missed RickG
Hopefully see a few of you at Coventry in August

 

[Hobbit]

A handful - and if asked these few are likely to deny it...

I'd happily meet up again Hugh. Would've been nice to play a game too.

Played a good few meets, like many travelling the length and breadth of the UK to do so. Had some fantastic days out with lovely people, all of which I'd happily play with again.

So you’ve met Liverbirdie then ?

 

[PhilTheFragger]

Met loads and loads of yus

From 3 Old Pharts V Whippersnappers, to numerous H4H meets, to The Irish Craic Classic in 2012
Numerous invitations, Several Mariners Society meets, Kings of Distance days, Sunningdale last year
The Rick G Memorial first year, so many great days, so many great people

This one stands out though, my first H4H at Blackmoor also 2012 playing with RickG, Richart and General Store





Best memory was the day before the Ping "Play Your Best" final, in the clubhouse at Gainsborough also 2012, with about 25 Forum members watching The Miracle at Medinah on a big screen, Mike H buying all the drinks, plastered, staggering back to the guest house and somehow making the tee time the following day.

As yes, I remember you talking about Tom Lewis at the time. Did you get his number?

I do remember a mouthy scouser (is there any other type ) from the Trump/Carnoustie meet who was good value. But pretty sure they were not dressed by M&S.

Definitely me at Trump/ Carnoustie??

In my defence I did learn to whisper in a helicopter ??

 

[chrisd]

Met a few people on Kings of distance in 2015 @ the London club, but I can't remember anyone's names.

I was one who did the long drive comp at the end ?

 

[IanM]

Met a few folk at meets, Old Farts, Siloth, SNew Zealand, Sunningdale and Turnberry. played with the OP at Stoneham, Mariners Soc at Berkshire and a game at New Forest etc etc...

Everyone has been excellent company...... which makes some of the spats on here unfathomable!
