Great review Mav, loving the pictures.

I'd like to highlight the fact that whilst I was in team 2 (and yes, we really did score -7), it was ianb281 that lost both our red balls and more specifically, on two consecutive shots, on the same hole (sorry Dad).


Still, a great time had by all and can't wait to do it all again!

Thanks And, I was going to own up anyway. My only excuse is, it was cold and I was still suffering from playing on the Sunday. Sorry to have let you and Burgerbudge down in such dramatic fashion. I can't remember the last time I duffed two consecutive shots from 110 yds out from preferred lies - what a plonker!


Awesome drive to capture the 'longest drive' prize - a privilege to witness.
 
Great write up Mav, spot on and s couple of sneaky pics too, must watch out for that camera!

We'd love to have any (or all) of you guys over, that would really be awesome!
 
Great job to all the UK THPer that made it out to the event looks like it was a blast! Well done guys.

Great review Mav, I have repeated below my post from earlier this evening in a related thread:-

"To the 9 intrepid pioneers of the first (that I know of) THP golf tourney in the UK, a mighty well done to one and all. It was a real pleasure to meet up and play with you all. A special thank you to Mav281 for his efforts in arranging the event and keeping us organised. I look forward to his full report albeit that I may come in for some stick regarding 'Red balls' (nothing rude or vulgar you understand).

Congratulations to Crag Rat for being the inaugural winner - well done Dave; good golf.

Thanks once again guys, it was an honour and a privilege to be involved in such an enjoyable occasion."​

Mav281 squints in the blazing sun, as the first drive of the Cup sails off down the fairway...

Haha - that was my Tiger impression. Partly to settle everyone down and partly to lure you all into a false sense of security ;)

Always very welcome! And I for one would gladly put an Irish event onto the rotation! Some cracking course on the Emerald Isle, and there's a rumour that the craic is not too bad either....:banana:
