What do you remember about the 1998 Open Championship at Royal Birkdale?
A total of 156 hopefuls will be teeing it up at Royal Birkdale and many will be playing in The Open Championship for the first time.
Am I the only one who shook my head in despair when the R&A announced its code of conduct for spectators at The Open?
Talk about stating the bleedin’ obvious! I am not a huge fan of Nick Faldo but he got it spot on when he suggested that Bryson DeChambeau has no clue when it comes to course strategy.
Time looks like it is running out for LIV Golf so if it is your thing you might want to head along to the JCB, which will host the tour for the third time. And they are promising a party in the countryside! DJs on the green, boogies beneath the trees and a champion field of golfers, led by hometown heroes Majesticks Golf Club. And they wonder why it never really captured the imagination of golf fans.
The Senior Open returns to the magnificent King’s Course at Gleneagles with all eyes on Ireland Padraig Harrington, who returns as the defending champion and has just won the US Senior Open.
