Little needs
to be said about The Old Course at St. Andrews,
which will host the Open for the 27th
time in 2005. With more than 600 years of
history, it is golf's heart and soul. Although
visitor times are always in short supply,
there are a number of ways they may be secured.
Again, planning a year or more ahead with
a little professional help is a necessity. |

Defending
champion British Open
American Ben
Curtis won the 132nd Open Golf Championship at Royal
St George’s when he held the world’s best golfers
at bay by shooting a final round of 69 for a one
under par total of 283, securing a one stroke victory
over European Tour Members Thomas Björn and Vijay
Singh. Both Björn and Singh came so close to winning
the title but the golfing Gods were not on their
side. |
The course has
been recreated beautifully with every bunker
and hill modeled to perfection - you can even
see the pro-shop from the 18th green at St Andrews.
By American standards the courses look rather
desolate, but links courses don't have an abundance
of trees, and with all the old buildings, spectator
stands, camera trucks and cherry pickers, you
soon get carried away with the atmosphere created
by competing on these historic courses.
There
are five modes of play including, of course, the
full British Open tournament. A nice touch is the
4 hole play-off then sudden death to decide the
result if there is a tie after 72 holes. The Royal
Troon was also the scene of the first four-hole
play-off in Open history, when Mark Calcavecchia
defeated Wayne Grady and Greg Norman in 1989.
When
the 133rd Open returns to Royal Troon, it will be
the 8th time the competition has been played on
the course. The first was held here in 1923, Arthur
Havers who finished fourth the previous year at
St. Andrews, was to come out on top this year.
