Editor’s Picks: My favourite Open venues
My favourite Open venues: No 8 – Royal Lytham
My favourite of the North West venues. It just feels proper. I think the atmosphere is especially good here just because of the smaller acreage and hemmed-in nature of the venue. It’s a bit like a traditional football ground that’s gradually been built around and is encircled by its suburbs. It shouldn’t work but it does and it oozes character.
