Not the British Open it is The Open.
Would have thought a Golf Club committee man would not have made a schoolboy error like that!
Seriously, on holiday then so doubt I will see a ball being hit. Love a day at the Open too.

But you are right of course .. I simply added British as there was a thread re the US Open.

I said I would not return to St Andrews for an Open due to the difficulty and comfort of the spectator experience. However, I took the family up for the day a few weeks back one Sunday, and wandering about the course with the stands being erected and sitting on the Swilcan Bridge with my girls, the magic of the place engulfed me, and I resigned myself to falling into St Andrews' charms once again and attending the Open.

Good luck to all spectators - whether they're on a freebie or not!
In my humble opinion St Andrews is by far and away the worst of the Open venues for spectating and the course itself is no longer fit for purpose to host a Major Championship. If the wind fails to blow then I shudder to think what the winning aggregate could be.
Personally, I wouldn't touch this one with a barge pole. I'll content myself with a visit to Gullane next week for the Scottish Open.

St Andrews is shocking for watching the golf. If you do head up best to go on a practice day.

TV is definately the best option to view an Open from St Andrews.

Louis Oosthuizen will be this year's winner. Get your money on now.

Spieth clear favourite on Oddschecker now at 6s (best price) and McIlroy out to 9s (best price) after an injury playing football..

Early 8am train check the forecast first though if its pissing down can be like a ghost town on the course during practice

After watching them at the Scottish Open, I think Kuchar might have a good chance in this next week. Obviously Fowler too.

Oosthuisen to win.
Each way bets on "rock on" Tommy Fleetwood, JB Holmes, Bernd Weisberger, Shane Lowry & Branden Grace.
It's a mixed weather forecast for the duration of the Championship and those golfers with a morning start on Thursday and an afternoon start on Friday look like benefiting most from the conditions.

If the weather stays calm then Dustin for me. Was hearing from one of the caddies that the course will definitely suit long hitters perfectly. Maybe even Molinari not as long as DJ but best driver on tour.

Was tempted to go up on Wednesday for the final practice day but £40 to get in. Robbery for that.

£80 for a championship day and £15 to park is just way too expensive for me. Shame as I love going Originally Posted by Godsahibby

It could be argued that with a first tee off time of 6:32am and the last at 16:13pm, then you could feasibly spend about 14 or 15 hours on the course.As far as value for money is concerned then it stands up well with other big sporting occasions.
However St Andrews is a very poor venue with few good spectating vantage points and I'll quite happily watch the action on TV.Last edited by Golden Bear; 13-07-2015 at 06:50 PM.
