Editor’s Picks: My favourite Open venues
In the first of a new series, Dan Murphy offers a personal listing of his favourite Open venues based on his own experiences over the last – gulp – 30 years
My favourite Open venues: No 7 – Royal St George’s
As you’ll be gathering, it doesn’t feel like an Open to me until I’ve done some travelling and the Kent coast is more exotic to a Yorkshireman than England’s North West. As it happens, I love the course as well but more than that I love this part of the world. Local produce is a speciality and the thatched roofs are particularly quaint.
