I won a deckchair once. Have won a number of hideous pieces of jewellery in my time and some really useless lumps of crystal.

f22

A case of some Romanian wine a tramp wouldn't drink

WHIP IT!

Haven't won much but I hate getting pieces of Crystal etc! I always think the prizes should be golf-related... Won a set of Kartel wet gear about five years ago that I still use. Great stuff.

Actually, you guys will be doing well to beat this one. As a junior I won a draft excluder in the shape of a dachshund.

f22

Yep, you may win the prize for that one alright

One Wednesday the sponsor forgot to get prizes and just arranged wine from behind the bar, and guess what, we won it:mad::mad:

Suppose at least it was drinkable, can't remember who the sponsor was, prob the same one as sponsored your prizes Fergal.Matter of fact, could have been the same comp..

I've also won a delightful nest of tables that wouldn't look out of place in Anne fookin Frank's house..

Along with a couple of rank lamps and things like that.

Tip for sponsors: if it ain't golf related, don't buy it!!

You could use it for hitting your driver into on those nights when the course is closed ( just like what Paddy Harrington does )

No John,

It was actually from one of the coppers golf societies. The goods were probably siezed when they cleared all the Romanian gypsies off the Ballymun roundabout and shipped them home.

It's long gone now. I remember it had a particularly unattractive polka-dot pattern. What were they thinking?!

Strangest prize I ever won was a smoked salmon!!!! I was new to the club and was looking forward to the weekly fourball where the prizes were usually club jumpers and polo shirts but the only time I ever won it the competition was sponsored by a fish importer!!!!

My sister wanted to keep it and let it graze out the front.

My Dad actually sold it back to the Farmer that sponsored it....
