Ed, Swinley was absolutely fantastic, and the Open was everything I expected it to be and much more. If anyone ever gets the opportunity to attend an Open Championship, they owe it to themselves to do so.
Silloth was awesome - so firm and so fast, it called for all the shots. There is nothing resembling a weak or indifferent hole, just quality hole after hole. Really tough to score out there, but ironically it was as good as I've played for eighteen months. And in my first game at a real links course!
