So - Here we are
It is with mixed feelings that I post this, as I know that for some - these dates are not doable. I just could not get dates that were going to suit everyone. Also - availability was proving an issue with some venues.
Ultimately - the cookie has crumbled as follows:
Time...
Well Hello THP. I've been away.
This "tortured author" look takes a lot of practice you know...
OK - so it's that time of year again. We discuss dates and venues for the annual 36 hole bash for the honour of putting the THP UK Summer Cup on your mantlepiece for a year.
When we gonna play...
The Hackers Paradise UK Summer Cup 2015

Hi there guys.
As I am currently holding onto the Cup (astonishing!) and our mighty chief organiser 'MAV281 The Magnificent' is very busy preparing the house and the bank balance for the arrival of an additional mini-MAV - it has fallen to me to come up with an affordable, but fun event where I...
Morning All!
I am on the hunt for some advice on courses down Mexico way on the Riviera Maya. I found a couple of threads going back 5 years from Clairefromclare but nothing since. I am flying out on the 14th of January for two weeks of sun, relaxation and maybe the odd...
Morning UK THPers!
How are we all? Winter is well and truly setting in, and sounds like rain, frost and all the joys of winter golf are with us all...
Some of us (well me specifically) are lucky enough to play on free draining courses and have most of the winter on a full course...with maybe...
At the weekend, I played in a fun competition at my home club. A kind of team event for the 'home' nations; England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. My play was not great, but the rain stayed away and it was fun. The club had laid on a buffet lunch for all competitors after the round. We ate as a...
As some of the UK Hackers can testify, I have a swing entirely my own. In the last 3 years, I have progressed from 'danger to myself and others' to my best handicap of 18. I took a 'clinic' in Egypt of all places which got me going in the right direction. Thereafter, I did a fair amount of...
Well...at least Hungary has! The shadow group came up with a real crowd pleaser...

Maybe something not that well known in the States, but today is the opening match of the Lions Tour. A touring Rugby team drawn from the four nations of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. The team are starting the the tour of Australia with a warm up match against another Rugby Institution...
I have been delaying starting this thread in the hope that I could find the right words to express myself. Alas, no inspiration has come, so this may ramble a little. I posted a thread entitled 'where to tee it up in the USA in August?'
In a nutshell, I am crossing the pond on business and will...
A couple of weeks ago, I manage to get the chance to meet Almdudler, a fellow THPer at his home club near Gothenburg in Sweden. Www.oigk.se
I was in town with a fellow THPer, The Dane, for a little business and we had schemed to get a little golf time into the schedule. Almdudler was already...
Hackers of Paradise! A UK based hacker needs your help. I am lucky enough to be coming to visit the mighty USA this coming August. I am coming on business to Dallas and Denver. Not necessarily in that order. My plan is to tack on a few leisure days to the trip where I can get myself onto a golf...
Lucky, lucky boy that I am, I am getting to play this little beauty on Monday. Not long open, this is a Nick Faldo designed course on the sun-soaked island of Cyprus in the Mediterranean Sea. Fortunately for me, my Mum lives a 20 minute drive away. Somehow or other, when packing for a brief...
