THE OPEN

The Open is a wonderful event to witness live.

Walk in the footsteps of past Open champions. Play the famed courses that have held the Open.

Royal Troon 15th – 18th July 2004

This will be the 8th time The Open has been staged at this great links. The last time was 1997 when Justin Leonard won with a blistering display of putting to out gun Jesper Parnevic. Previously to that Mark Calcavecchia took the title after beating Greg Norman and Wayne Grady in the first four hole play off in Open history.

St. Andrews Old Course 20th - 23rd July 2005

This will be the 27th time The Open returns to the Home of Golf. It’s interesting to note that back in 1764 St. Andrews became the first 18 hole golf course and in 1834 William IV bestowed the title Royal & Ancient to St. Andrews Golf Club. So if you can’t join in the celebrations for 2004 why not join us in 2005.

Royal Liverpool 14th – 17th July 2006

The second oldest club in England after Westward Ho, it truly is a Champions course with past Open winners such as Hilton, John Ball and non other than Bobby Jones in 1930. It has held the Open 10 times with Roberto de Vincenzo winning in 1967 the last time it was here.
