"Hi Bernie, just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you for everything on the 13th. Your patience and assistance was invaluable. Everyone commented that they had a fantastic day and that is in no small way due to yourself and the club and the way you made us feel welcome. There’s even talk already of a possible return visit next year if you’ll have us that is! Could you please extend out thanks to the committee for the flexibility afforded to us with regard to tee times, I don’t think we could have achieved the result we did without this. Jeanette and her catering staff for the wonderful food provided and the friendly service to go with it. Gill behind the bar who coped womanfully with our motley crew and kept the liquid flowing nicely. The green keeping staff, everyone thought the greens were fantastic and some of the more experienced and well travelled in our group commented that they were the best they had played in the region this year. Finally our thanks to your good self for getting everything sorted both before and also on the day, you were a fantastic help. Thanks a lot and hope to see you next year. 11 September 2008 from Ken Seed, Chairman of Washington Riding Centre. Dear Bernie On behalf of Tyne & Wear Riding of the Disabled Association based at Washington Riding Centre I would like to express my appreciation for all your hard work and organization skills in making our Fundraising Golf Day such a resounding success.

"Dear Bernie I just wanted to express our appreciation to everyone at Heworth for the way we were received on Friday. All of the members during the course of our 4 rounds were very courteous and supportive. The green keeper’s assistance in making the buggies available was essential to us completing our challenge and when everyone came out onto the balcony and next to the green to greet us on the 72nd hole made us all feel very very special. Please pass on a very big thank you to the Chairman and Committee for allowing us to play, to the Captain for his generous hospitality on the day, the person who allowed us to use his petrol buggy for the final round and whoever arranged the round of drinks in the 73rd hole, they were the most sweetest and most much needed drinks we’ve had for a long time. I would like to express my personal appreciation to you, Bernie, for doing all of the unseen work to make this day happen as without you it wouldn’t have worked and wouldn’t have gone so smoothly I’m sure you probably arranged for the cracking weather on the day too, such is your influence."

"Having played in the Ladies Invitation Day Sunday 29 July 07 I feel I needed to write and tell you how immaculate your course is. Green keepers in general get a lot of criticism and I felt it necessary to commend your green staff that obviously have a lot of pride in what they do. The fairways were lush and the greens and aprons immaculate, the whole course well manicured. Heworth has to be one of the best courses in the area. We are always made to feel welcome at Heworth; the Ladies are very warm and friendly. Several Ladies from Birtley have asked me to thank the greens staff for all the hard work they have put into the course."

"On Behalf of my wife and myself I am writing to thank Heworth Golf club for allowing us the use of the lounge for our Diamond Wedding celebration on 11 September 2008. Heworth Golf Club did us pround. Thank you all so much."

"We would like to thank everyone who was involved in our wedding reception at your golf club on the 27th September. The venue was superb and the staff were excellent. They all helped to make our day perfect"
