Golf Forums - Photos of Gongs and things

Am I the only Social Golfer with an ego ?

Just posted three photos relating to my golfing successes - come on everybody don't be shy, photo those cups, salvers and crystal and register on the "Smugometer". Maybe T.S.G. will offer a small prize for the biggest or most outrageous gong ?

That rather presumes you've won a gong to display a picture of !!!!!

Pete - I admire your modesty, sure a golfer of your calibre has a few in the cabinet or on the mantle piece. If not LIE !!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's hard to lie when you're asking for photgraphic evidence !!

I think that i need a wide angle lense, they dont call me the bandit for nothing.

Ummm, no previous scores posted, could easily be a bandit 'protecting' his handicap. Anyone out there played with him and ready to vouch for him...

Nice one John - my name at my previous club was Bob the Bandit (let me say not of the cheating variety). Pete, reckon your being very P.C. about all of this, sure with your game you have some sitting on a sideboard somewhere in the mansion.

This is only fun folks, post those pictures and I'll work on Pete to give 2/3 "2 for 1" vouchers for the grandest/hideous trophy submitted. 

Okay, okay, lets call it TWO 2-FORE-1  vouchers to the person who uploads a picture of the biggest and/or grandest and/or worst trophy you've ever received and, ONE 2-FORE-1  voucher the runner up and, isn't life wonderful !, to ensure 'Bob the bandit' doesn't win, we'll make him the judge. ha, ha, ha.

So, Bob TB will be judging and awarding by, lets say, Sunday 10th Aug. Get those photos uploaded.

PS.  I promise to dig around the 'mansion' to find them by then!

Good one Pete - actually, never won a sh.....y looking trophy, so that's me out of the running.

Hope you have a good game at Nizels tomorrow.

I do play every other Sunday in the club comps but every now and then i play a blinder. played at Sunbury last week and only managed 50 stableford points off 18.  shot a Gross 72 (4 over) net 14 under ....

4 over off an 18 handicap! 50 Stableford points!! I can think of a few names you'd be called in my golfing circle... (what did they cut you too?)

No cut just a friendly round. Tried to upload a photo to my profile but its too big at present but i have managed to put in my photos.   Had to take another photo with less quality.

CARPE DIEM !!!!

Sad Bob has looked through a number of profiles and John Loveridge currently seems to have the best (and may I say) the only trophy in the photos area.

Currently I don't have much of a judging job. Pete set the deadline of 10th August for the posting of gong photos so let me know if you wish to be considered. Looking through upto 2,000 profiles is not great fun especially as you all seem to be extremely modest about your achievements ha-ha-ha !!!

2 x "2 for1" vouchers are available for the winner - worth upto £200+ if used at the right course.

Ok, bugger modesty - if there's a prize to be had, I'll submit a photo.

OK I've got to the 10th august to gather my trophys up and get them organised for a good photo.

I feel cheated now - I have won a couple of times but all I got was a couple of quid (and a silly, too small to use, sports bag) so I can't post any photo of my 'trophies, medals, shields or otherwise...'

I won the XMas fare a couple of years ago and got a couple of hand warmers and a windscreen scraper.

I have also uploaded a few more photos.

I've looked at your photos and I'm calling foulllllllllllllllll   18 handicap and won all those trophies !! (I can't do it so no-one should be able to)

I have good days and bad days the last couple have been bad . Have our pairs match Friday week so need to try harder 

Have a look at my picture, its me with my hole in one trophy!! 

I can vouch for John, and confirm he is a bandit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He has come down about 10 shots over the last year, still need to come down a bit more.  He hits its miles, just not always in the right direction!

Simon

Simon, i have one more picture to put on but i shall wait until saturday evening before i revel it to the golfing community....

Since when has Bracknell been in Surrey?

John

As promised the last photo has been added 

Not quite of the same quality are they !  (but I do have to concede that at least you've got 2 trophies to brag about).

I took the other photos off needed the space. 

Bob, and the winners are????????????

Pete : Having spent 12 hours going through every profile on The Social Golfer (can visably see my nose growing). I declare a tie !

For sheer quality - equal first is Carol B. for the armful of cups won at ONE PRIZEGIVING !

For quantity the award has to be shared by John Loveridge - my wife would go spare with all those gongs and things (?) on our 16th century sideboard !

Judging is SO DIFFICULT how did I win this job ? 

So : 1 x "2-1" to Carol B. and 1 x "2-1" to John Loveridge - I'll give you the money when we next play.

Happy pot hunting - unless Carol or John get there first !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

What a hero you are Bob, trawling '000s of profiles to keep it fair! (if i'd have been judging people would have had to have told me they'd posted the photo to be included !!).

I'm impressed by the collections (but I suspect Carol is simply standing in front of the end of year awards lined up at the bar before they're given out!).  I'll arrange the 2-fore-1 vouchers as you've awarded.

Well done to all who took part (I'm now going to think up my own competition - one I can win... maybe 'best golfer never to have won a trophy...').

Pete,  It just goes to show that you dont have to be a good golfer just a lucky one  or in my case a bandit.... My approach to golf is army based ... left .. right... left

I reakon in 2005 there was only two women members at the club. Both in the picture. Can we have confirmation that they were not runner up trophys!

PS. Well done carol

What a nice way to end a forum!!!!!!!

Off to the World Final of the Mercedes Trophy in september.... Last years link: http://www.mercedes-benz.tv/index.html?clipId=219&id=3&type=channel&lang=en&csref=mbtv_ws_mbtv0107_en_channel_3_219_forward .. Had  3 Trophies in the National Final which was in protugal pic included if I can work out how (sorry newbie)

Hi Ian,

           Walked Porthpean G.C. some year's back - when staying at the local Holiday Camp (one with the toboggan ride). Anyway, looked a super course - good luck in your golfing travels. Too late for compo consideration, post the photos anyway.

Good Luck

Ian, are you saying you won last year's Mercedes World Trophy? If so I'm impressed.

Ian, excellent stuff. Good luck to you  - remember keep your head up and swing fast !!!

Damn, been away and missed the closing date.  I've just remembered I have got a gong!  It may be shared but half of it is mine and it sits in the RAF Club in Piccadilly, not on my mantelpiece.  Had to share this with you, it's probably the only half I'll ever get.  LOL.
