Above, you'll see some images of the Golf Monthly Forum's annual Help for Heroes charity golf day, which took place at North Hants Golf Club in Fleet on September 29.

On the Monday following the Ryder Cup, some 89 golfers from all over the country gathered at North Hants - Justin Rose's home club - to take part in the yearly charity classic.

OxfordComma emerged victorious, pipping philly169 on countback after both players recorded an impressive 38 points.

wookie finished third with 37 points, Liverbirdie shot a seven-over-par 77 to land the best gross score and sawtooth claimed the longest drive accolade on the 18th hole.

Guest Bill McGarry won a BMW for the weekend following his tee shot to five inches at the par-3 8th, the nearest the pin hole, while Liverbirdie, PhiltheFragger, GeneralStore and Swinger won the blind tee event.

But, more importantly, the day raised more than £15,000 for Help for Heroes, with auctioneer Mark Head once again leading a thoroughly enjoyable auction.
