The Road to the Open on BBC iPlayer

[James Boon]

I only just came across this hour long programme about what was involved getting The Open back to Northern Ireland and also the preparation required at Royal Portrush to host the Open. Some interesting stuff regarding the new holes as well...

As its on the BBC iPlayer I'm not sure everyone will be able to see it and I think its only on there for a month from broadcast, but hopefully somebody out there who hasnt see it before will find this interesting?


Cheers,


James

James -
The NY Times had a good article about all the logistics involved with staging the Open at Portrush.
