Just back from Friday at The Open after getting lucky in the Titleist ticket draw. Was the 550 mile round trip worth it?

My first time at The Open and it is definitely above the other events I've been to in the past. It took longer than expected to get from the M6 to the Park & Ride and onto the course, but once on the grounds at around 10 am it was time to explore.

Past the famous clubhouse and up to the range just in time to get a picture of the worlds No1 and No2 (I'm sure you can work it out from the picture). Then onto the main Spectator Village before finding a spot by 11th green to watch some of the groups come through.

Some great birdies on the 11th from Titleist staffers including Billy Horschel and Cam Young along with some of the Brits, Penge and Fitzy. Ludvig's army were in attendance, with blue and yellow wigs and another chance to wear their football shirts again after the World Cup.

After watching the morning groups finish on 18 we tried to get near the Scheffler/Bryson, and Fleetwood groups but the majority of spectators were around them so some distant views.

Massive thanks to Will and the Titleist team for the tickets a bucket list item ticked off and some great memories.
