We'll be teeing off approx 10:30 so meet up any time you fancy for a bacon roll, coffee and then hit some balls to warm up......there's a short game area as well if you really want to push the boat out!!
I'll be there around 9:00-9:15 :thup:
Oh and I'll be introducing this little beauty to the greens....

Very many thanks to Rick for hosting, quite a few forum members have now played at Centurion and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, so I was expecting great things.
Im very pleased to say that I was not disappointed, it is a stunning course, all the holes make you stop & think, there is none of this up & down, same hole, followed by same hole nonsense, every hole is different as the first few are in the Pine forest, similar to Woburn, you then emerge into a more wide open, linksy feel before heading back into the trees again.
Was great to team up again with Murph & Captain Ron, and as ever were great company.
We all played some really good stuff and we all got chewed up on certain holes to compensate.
Ive only ever scored about 20 birdies in my golfing career, certainly never had 2 in a round before. But today managed to bag 3. The par 5 9th, the par 4 12th ( the one with the pond) and the par 3 17th. also had 3 gross pars. But before the cries of bandit start, I also had 7. yes seven blobs, Its a tough course especially off the silver tees at 6756 yards and to fit in with the sunday swindle we were playing 2 less than our club handicap
Rick took the honours with 30 points, Moi with 29, Ron with 27 and Murph 22 or 23 ish
The weather was quite windy with some nice sunny spells and I shall certainly remember my day at Centurion for a long time
Thanks again Rick, You are a Dude

Wait till he makes you play off the blacks, and then tells you that the par has dropped from the 74 on the silvers to the 72 on the blacks (at over 7000 yards)
Glad you had fun and wp

Really pleased you enjoyed it Phil, and your record haul of 3 birdies was very special! Well done :thup:

Two balanced nines. 5 over par on the front nine, and about a hundred over on the back nine. Mr consistency!

Thanks to Rick for inviting us all to his wonderful course. I had an absolute ball with you lads.
Rick was understandibly subdued what with having to fetch a Dishwasher from Watford later that evening and was dressed accordingly with only 4 colour clashes in his outfit.
Highlight for me was Phil's Poulteresque reaction to draining his birdie putt on the 17th for his 3rd birdie of the round. Well played that man!
The course is fantastic and was in sensational nick considering it had had taken a load of rain the previous day. The rough is just brutal and the Birdie-Blob Boys spent a fair bit of time looking for balls.
Thanks Rick.
