Well the day has finally arrived and in half an hour I will be leaving for the airport.
Still feeling a little nervous but the excitement is far outweighing that.
I'll try and keep a mini blog going when I can.

you will love it- Kings course is in fantastic condidition and with a few holes running alongside the PGA with all the stands up the atmosphere will be electric.

The forecast is perfect, its dry warm and sunny.

Guarantee once you play you'll want to live there

As long as the rain passes through before we tee off for the practice round tomorrow morning then the forecast is about as good as it can be that's for sure.
As for wanting to live there I doubt it as it's far too close to the in-laws and gets way too cold in the winter!

gutted I didn't win the qualifier to join you. the winners of ours got to -13! crazy scoring!


enjoy big man!

Arrived after two hectic flights and had to try hard to keep my jaw off the floor. Could see the grandstands on the centenary course from the motorway!
Staff are second to none and have made us feel very welcome.
Looking forward to seeing the course tomorrow and getting the practice round under our belts. I'm

Sitting having breakfast before our 8:30 tee time.
Can't wait to get going now.
Weather is good and the forecast is for it to stay like this all week.

Go get em' Floyd.

Check out the hotel as well. Sumptous.

Staying in it liverbirdie!
The course is amazing! I don't know how they have done it but a downhill putt doesn't stop and an uphill putt you can't hit hard enough.
Had a 40 footer from off the green on the 6th with a few pars to boot.
Played a shot from the centenary course after pulling my second shot left on the third!
Find out our tee time for tomorrow before dinner tonight.
Really looking forward to getting back out there tomorrow.

Jammy sod.:thup:

Its a cracking place and only looked around it for 15 minutes, love them little shopping arcades on the inside.

Kestrel fondling tonight?

I'm only guessing but the lack of golfers and the grandstands by the green gave it away.
It's only about 10 yards from the side of the green to the centenary fairway.

 

[Andy808]

Got our tee times for tomorrow and we are the first group out so I will be starting the 2014 Lombard trophy if nothing else. 8am tee time though. :-/

 

[rickg]

Good luck.....sounds amazing!

Good luck Andy. Pulling for you to win after you won our qualifier at Burnham in great style.

 

[Green Bay Hacker]

All the best tomorrow. It will certainly be a couple of days you won't forget in a hurry.

 

[fundy]

Good luck but more importantly enjoy it, great opportunity
