The weather stayed bright for the first half of play, but descended to heavy rain for the last 9 holes. A shotgun start did mean that most of us finished around the same time, which proved to be useful. The full financial gain for the charity is on our Charity page. Thanks to everyone that organised, played or donated to the day.

Whilst this event wasn't totally run for the Hackers, Matt Fox arranged this day for HHGS and the R3 group. A group that consists of professionals that deal with insolvency and restructuring for business. The day was a success, but we don't have the scores to put here.

Nearest the pin on the 13th was Gary Leggett. Our best guest was Ed Power. In 3rd place and earning a 1 shot cut was Andy Lenaghan with 34 points. And Wilton was In 2nd place with 35 points and earns himself a 1 shot cut too. The head honcho with 36 points and earning himself a 2 shot cut was Graham Dunhill. Well done fellas!

It may have been the fact that you had to leave most of your clubs in the car that reduced the field for the third event of 2009. Eighteen members and two guests faced the dilemma of which three clubs were going to join the putter in their bag. The course was in quite good condition and for once the weather was on our side.

The best of the two guests was Morris McPhail with a very creditable 38 points. Nearest the pin on the twelfth with a shot to four feet was Roy Challinor, (yes he missed the putt). Nearest the pin in two on the ninth for the second event in a row was Tommy Frampton.

Third place went to Mike Sinacola, 37 points (on countback), second, Graham Dunhill, also 37 points, with our winner on 38 points Tommy Frampton. A magnificent effort from all our winners when you consider the lack of clubs. All agreed afterwards that this had been an unusual but enjoyable challenge and would be up for it again next year. The final placings are below.

How lucky were we then? The weather had beeen quite poor for some time, a trolley ban had been imposed by the course, fear was it would be waterlogged! But, no! The course finally agreed that we could use buggies, it hadn't rained for a couple of days and the course was definitely playable but they did stick 11 temporary greens on until we complained sufficiently, that the number was reduced to four. So it was all going in our favour.

In 3rd place with a very creditable 35 points was Roger Marsland; 2nd place went to Andy Wilton with a very good 36 points. Both Andy and Roger enjoy a 1 shot cut. Our winner with another superb 38 points was Roy Challinor. Under the conditions, 38 points is very good indeed and not suprisingly both Roy and Terry (best guest) are senior citizens, have had 12 heart by-passes between them and don't normally pull a cart bag. So it just goes to show what real experience can do! Well done fella's.

Well what can I say? The weather for the previous few days had been horrendous, so what a pleasant surprise that the day was glorious. 39 of us turned up, 1 (me - Ed.) had to drop before we started, so 38 hit the fairways. Playing our only medal event of the year certainly took it's toll timewise with the final goup arriving for dinner at just about 5pm. I am advised that the course was in good condition and played very well.

So to the results and we start with the Nearest Pins on the 9th and 13th respectively. Well done to Jon Gane and Roy Challinor. Our best guest with a net 66 (3 under par) was Dave Turvey, who if he plays again will enjoy a 1 shot cut, so Dave, beware! To the HHGS then and in 3rd place with a net 68 and enjoying a 1 shot cut was Ray Cook. In 2nd place with a net 65 and enjoying a 2 shot cut was Roger Marsland, But in the top slot with a staggering net 64 and enjoying a 3 shot cut is Colin Warburg. Well done to everyone who played and made our penultimate event a success.

There were, as always, 2 nearest pins, on the 4th and 15th and the winners were Iain Huxley and Marty Lenaghan, well done gents. Our best guest of the day with 23 points, was Phil Wilkinson. In fourth place on countback was Peter Prince with 26 points. 3rd place went to Iain Huxley on 27 points who earns a 1 shot cut, well done Iain. 2nd place was won by Marty Lenaghan with 30 points and also earns a 1 shot cut, but top of the pile with 31 points and earning a two shot cut is Brian Kirby. Well done fellas. The conditions were inhibitive enough to mean that a score in the top 20's was a good result that day.

Well a few cried off because of the suspected rain, especially in the morning, but they missed out on a dry 9 hole warm up competition, which showed the course to play longer than expected. That said the course was in good condition with only a couple of greens on the "iffy side". After a pleasant lunch and relaxing chat we started to take to the fairways for the main competition.

The afternoon game featured an increase in players from 23 to 27 after they realised the weather wasn't as bad as first thought. Again the course played longer due to the soft surface. Nearest pins were won by Guest, Kevin Weir on the 2nd and Steve Grant on the 14th. Our best guest was Neil Hawkins with the highest score of the day, 33 points. Now if he'd been a member he'd have walked with a much better prize!

So, to the member winners we go............... In 3rd place with 29 points was Iain Huxley, who earns a 1 shot cut. In 2nd place was Mark Proudley with 30 points who also enjoys a 1 shot cut. But top of our pile with 31 points, Tommy (my handicap's too low!) Frampton. Who proved that it actually wasn't too low after all, and earns himself a 0.5 shot cut due to his existing low handicap. Well done fellas!

Following a pleasant cross country drive, my only one of the day, I arrived at the new Petersfield golf course. Unlike some other members and guests who enjoyed a brief detour up and down the A3 looking for the small and unmarked turn off for the club ! The weather didn't let us down, sunshine, pleasant breeze, all was set for a quality game of golf. For me, that's as far as it got as quality was not a word I would have used in association to describe my golf that day. I am pleased to say however the course and club itself were excellent and I look forward to playing a better round next time.

In fourth place Colin Edwards on countback with 31 points, being pipped by Tommy Frampton with the same 31 points, who as 3rd gets cut .3 of a shot. Second place went to Colin Warburg with his second top 3 placing in two consecutive events with 35 points and enjoying a full 1 shot cut to boot! But our Leader of the Pack (vroom vroom) is Andy Wilton with 36 points and benefitting from a full 2 shot cut. Well done gents, good golf.

The weather looked ominous! It was raining heavily as we all arrived to test out the Dummer Golf Course fairways towards the latter end of April. Tunes of "April Showers" running through my mind as we downed our obligatory coffees and bacon rolls prior to the start of what turned out to be a glorious day. By the time we started teeing off, the sun was shining and the damp fairways dried off really quickly to reveal a good quality course, albeit some of the greens were a touch below their normal standards.

So to the results. Nearest the pin on the 5th, over the water, was Ray Cook and on the 14th over the UK's longest bunker, was Colin Edwards. Well done gents, good results. Our best guest was Kevin Beech, who has aksed if he may join our fold........ (the jury's out!).

In fourth place with 35 points on countback was Bob Ward. 3rd place also on 35 points, but enjoying a 1 shot cut was Colin Warburg. The penultimate place went to Alan Dunger with 36 points who also enjoys a 1 shot cut on his second outing with HHGS. First place though went to Ged Baren who racked up 37 points and enjoys a 2 shot cut. So well done fellas, you played well on a tough course.

33 players took to the Wickham fairways and the conditions which were forecast to be wet and windy remained dry and fairly pleasant. Again two more new members started and we were joined, as always by a good compliment of guests, two of whom themselves joined by the end of the day!

Nearest the pin on the 5th was won by Colin Parsons and nearest the pin on the 12th by Cliff Chapman. Well done fellas! Our best guest with points was Marty Lenaghan, so well done, maybe you should consider becoming a member Marty as this was your second outing with us, then you can take full advantage of winning the major prizes!

In third place with 39 points, was Colin Warburg who enjoys a 1 shot cut. Second place, on countback, went to our treasurer, Pete Stubbs with a very good points score of 41 and enjoys a full 2 shot cut. However, top of the table also with 41 points was John Gornall who will be enjoying his 3 shot cut at the next event.

39 of us took to the fairways of Cams Hall. 30 members and 9 guests. An excellent turnout for our first outing of the year. The weather was chilly but gloriously sunny and the course was in a very good condition with the greens being exceptionally fast. 5 of our members were playing their first society match.

The nearest the pin on the 7th was won by our Treasurer, Pete Stubbs, with his first ever prize won at one of our society days. Nearest the pin on the 17th was won by Matt Fox's guest, Mike Donaldson, who also won the best guest prize with a steady 36 points. In 3rd place and enjoying a 0.5 shot cut was Colin Edwards with 38 points. In 2nd place and enjoying a 2 shot cut with 41 points was Ged Baren and top of the tree for the second consecutive month with 43 points and enjoying a further 3 shot cut was John James.
