Giving Something Back

Good things tend to happen when golfers get together, and the 2019 Golf Monthly forum charity day for Help for Heroes was no exception. On its tenth edition, the purpose was, as always, to raise as much money as possible to support military personnel who have been wounded, injured or become sick as a result of service.

This year, people travelled from afar to enjoy Tandridge, a Golf Monthly Top 100 Course and the home club of GM courses expert Rob Smith, who was said to have asked the greenkeepers to get the putting surfaces running at club championship levels of speed and quality.

They were in splendid condition, as was the rest of the course, which was bathed in sunshine throughout the day. The Harry Colt classic was a test for all who took it on and there were plenty of high scores, but also numerous birdie opportunities when the ball was kept in play.

Prizes galore
