Thank you for your assistance in organising my Longest Day Challenge in support of MacMillan Cancer Care. I chose to play at the New Forest Club because I have played there in the past with my father.  What made it a really good choice was the friendly welcome and support from everyone I met at your club on the day.  Everyone was interested and supportive of what I was doing........Carl Lawson

My colleagues and I of the South Coast Hackers thank you for an excellent days golf.  Pass on our thanks to your staff who we found to be courteous, polite and very helpful and made our day such an enjoyable one.  The greens were in such good condition and a pleasure to putt on.....

Thanks to all the staff who helped us to have another successful Quiz evening at the New Forest Golf Club.  It was all so welcoming and efficient and the refreshments were excellent and much appreciated by everyone.  We made a nice profit and everyone enjoyed themselves so we hope you will have us again some day soon........
Hazel, New Forest Group of WWF

I would like to take this opportunity to compliment you on your fantastic course.  We played as a four (with a fifth gent with a broken arm joining us for a pleasant walk) and apart from us all playing like complete muppets on the first hole we soon settled into the swing of our game.  Playing around the horses certainly added a strange dimension to the game, especially the frisky stallion on the ninth.  We found the course an absolute delight to play with the greens a joy to putt on, so hats off to the greensmen who work under such hard conditions.  We hope to see you again in the near future...... Darren Knight , Portsmouth Aviation Limited

Thanks for a lovely day at your course.  We all enjoyed the course and you are right, we will remember it for many years to come! The food and the beer were complimentary to a really enjoyable day. I probably enjoyed it the most since I took the pot for the day (38 pts with a couple of blobs) but it was my downfall for the week as we have a rule that the person who wins on any of the days has a handicap cut of 2 strokes for the rest of the week – I cannot, and I stress cannot, play to 7. So that was my only win of the week!  It was just a perfect day for us for which my friends and I are genuinely grateful
...kind regards Harry

I am writing to offer my thanks for your very generous support of our Charity Golf Day.  The day proved to be a huge success, raising a record amount in excess of £10,000 for Naomi House and Cedar School.  Hopefully everyone that attended also had a great day, thanks again for your generosity  ......Stuart Terris, Director, Meachers Group Holdings Ltd

Would you please pass on my thanks to all involved in the day – particularly the groundsman and his staff for their assistance and the way in which they battled the elements throughout the day.  Thought that the course was in excellent order considering the almost impossible conditions ......Pro-Am Competitor

When I arrived at your club with friends in September to use a free golf voucher I had won, I found I had left it at home.  You kindly overlooked my short term memory lapse and allowed us to play.  My playing colleagues and I thank you very much for your trust and hope to visit your excellent course again soon. ...... Richard Gower

Dear Sir, Captains and Committee of NFGC  - We would like to thank you all so very much for the lovely golf day your club provided for us in the Mixed Open competition which went along ever so smoothly. The excellent organisation of the tournament by the club management, its members and committee gave so many people a very pleasant and enjoyable day out which was also accompanied by some nice weather, it seemed just like summer, a great day was had by all.  We enjoyed the course although I thought the greens were extremely quick and the subtle burrows were difficult to read my wife was able to read them so well, hence our good score, the food was most enjoyable and a very good selection was provided by the caterers.  Would you please give our congratulations to all concerned and we hope if able, to enter next year to defend our title.
Our grateful thanks  ...... David & Maureen Renouf

We played in a fourball and it was excellent, one of the friendliest golf clubs we’ve been to on course and in clubhouse, we would just like to thank you for a great day and we will be back soon ....All the best Graham Davies

Just a quick note on behalf of us all here to thank you for your great help and assistance yesterday during our golf day.
I know we were all helped by the weather but the input from your team made the day run very smoothly and this was appreciated by all. ............. R J Huffer, Daniells Harrison Chartered Surveyors

Once again The Saxon Golf Society had a great day at your venue. We would like to thank you and the staff for the hospitality and help to ensure our day went smoothly.

Dear  Mr Captain, I had the pleasure of visiting the New Forest Golf Club with a German friend of mine last week.  I would very much like to thank Kevin Nolan for  the fantastic friendly atmosphere we received.  My friend now takes back to Germany a wonderful view of the British people and what a friendly place the New Forest is.  I would like very much to wish the Club all the best in the future as it has always held a special place in my heart.  ..........   Kind regards, Chris Johnson, Windesheim, Germany

Dear Kevin & Gang, many thanks for making our special day so successful.  We all had a very enjoyable day which I think you could tell from the laughter ringing around the clubhouse.  Some of our ladies found your course challenging, especially the ones playing off 6.  Once again thanks for your wonderful hospitality - we will be back......(see photo in Photo Albums/Visitors) Kind regards, from the Ladies of Bramshott Hill GC

Club Captain Godfrey, Can you please pass on my thanks for a wonderful day at New Forest Golf Club, we were all made to feel so welcome by all the members and staff. The catering was really excellent and we all put on a pound or two with the more than generous helpings. The course is in such a lovely setting and it was a joy to play 18 holes with Mike and yourself. I sincerely hope we can provide the same warm hospitality when you visit us at Marlborough Golf Club on August 10th. Please get your Secretary to get in touch with Les Trute regarding the reciprocal arrangement and if you are in the area and passing please pop in and say hello. I look forward to meeting up with you again at Royal Winchester on the 23rd August.
Kind regards David Jackson Captain Marlborough Golf Club

Dear Mr Club President (Colin), Thank you so much for all your hard work and effort on Saturday.  I know that these events take a lot of organisation and it was kind of you to make Gilda and myself so welcome. I'm sure Gilda has already been in touch but can I thank you personally for the amazing amount of money that you and all your fellow players managed to raise for the Alzheimer's Society.  Kind regards ....... Jackie Hampton, Birchy Hill Care Home, Sway

Dear Sir, I just wanted to write to thank you for your kind and generous support of our Charity Golf Day in aid of Naomi House and Cedar School.  The day proved to be a huge success and we raised a total of almost £20,000 for the charities.  I would like to thank you, both personally and on behalf of the charities, for making such a generous contribution towards the day, which helped us to raise such a fantastic amount.  In the current economic climate, this total far exceeded hopes and expectations.
I look forward to seeing you soon......... Kindest regards, Stuart Terris

Dear John & Kevin, I am writing to thank you for the outstanding contribution you have provided this year by enabling pupils from Coxlease to play on your golf course.  I want to personally thank you for your professionalism and child centred approach.  I am particularly grateful for the time and effort you made every time we played to make the pupils feel welcome.  It has resulted in a resurgence in golf at Coxlease School.  Again, thank you so much for your strong commitment and dedication to helping children reach their full potential.  I want you to know that I really appreciate your efforts and look forward to working with you again in the future.  Yours sincerely, Richard Lewis

I just wanted to say a big thank you to you and your team for making us so welcome. Despite the inclement weather, we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.  Throughout the rest of our week’s golf, the conversation frequently went back to comment on just how welcome we were made to feel and that will certainly ensure we return next September! Well done on making New Forest Golf Club such a friendly place to visit.  Best wishes Jeremy Lucas, Bramley Golf Club.

Thank you very much indeed to Kevin and the rest of the staff who made us feel so very welcome last week when my son and husband played a half round of golf. They enjoyed their game very much, and speaking as my son’s caddy it made for a very pleasant walk and a great way to enjoy the New Forest.      
Kind regards .....Lisa Locke

Dave Norcott, Paul Baker and Steve Petty completed their attempt to play a gruelling 100 holes of golf in one day to raise money for local cancer charity - JC Fund at Southampton General Hospital.  We’ve finally got all the sponsorship money in!  Took a while, but a really excellent result of £2573!
I just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you and how very much we and the charity appreciated your tremendous help with the event – we literally could not have done it without you. Our very best wishes and thanks, and hopefully see you soon for some golf! Yours Dave Norcott

Dear all, thank you very much for a well organised and fun day at your Mixed Open last month!

Hello George,  I have to say that this was probably the best collection I have
made since working for Macmillan! You made me feel so welcome at the club, there was such a fun warm and generous spirit - I am not surprised at all that you are so proud to be President. I thoroughly enjoyed coming to the presentation, and I thought the fine system was so hilarious - and the  louder the better when it is all so good natured!  Please do pass on my thanks to the members of the club for emptying their pockets so generously (very competently encouraged by you!), and for such a warm welcome. I very much hope to come and see you all again in the future.
You will be sent a formal acknowledgement and a certificate for the donation by our admin team, but I wanted to thank you personally.  
Warm regards, Katie L Blake, Macmillan Organisation

On behalf of the Club and especially the members concerned, thank you for the welcome we received on Sunday, from what I have heard, well above and beyond the call of duty, it was much appreciated.......Terry Riddett, Secretary, Freshwater Bay Golf Club
