Sam Hindmarsh Memorial
I'd just like to thank everyone who played in the Sam Hindmarsh Memorial Trophy yesterday at West Midlands Golf Club. When we included the contributions from the game this has helped us raise over £3300 for the Newborns In Need charity for Birmingham Heartlands Hospital. Special thanks to all the Golfshakers that played who made my job easier by paying on time and turning up on time. Thanks too to Chris Perry who filled in for a cancellation literally at the last minute, although I bet he wished he stayed at home!
For those interested the results were:
1st Paul Robinson 44pts
2nd Brian Mohan 35pts
3rd Paul Hindmarsh 33pts
4th Henry Kinchin 32 pts
5th Andy Turner 32pts
Andy Turner also won the nearest the pin on the 18th, putting his tee shot 4 feet from the flag.
In 34th place was Sid Gerrard who amassed a total of 10pts and won the wooden spoon prize of a copy of the book "Golf For Dummies".

Well done to everyone who played. In the last group, we JUST made it round and I bet the group behind us on the 18th were struggling to see the green. As for my game, i'm going to blame fatigue for my poor showing, but at least I (just) made it into the 20's.
Well organised Paul and for a great cause too. I'm really pleased to see such a great total raised.

Well done Paul looked like a great day and great success.

I was taken aback by the support to be honest and all of the post game comments have been very positive. Next year we'll be teeing off earlier though.
