Entering The Open
Question
Hi There,
I was recently thinking about entering the Brittish Open Championship.
Can you tell me the ways an Amature golfer could enter the qualifying stages? My current Handicap is 4...
I know how big a competition this is and I have no illusions of chasing Tiger down the 18th on Sunday (yet!) but it would just be a great thing to at leased have a go at one day!
Answer
Hi Michael,
The 2009 Open will be held at Turnberry, Scotland, the site of the dualing match between Nicklaus and Watson in 1977.
There are qualifying events held throughout the world at different times. You can find out more at the Open website:

Good luck with your quest.
