Royal Lytham and St Anne’s is set to play host to the 2012 Open Championship and Your Golf Travel.com is offering exclusive hospitality and ticket packages that will give you access to what promises to be an action packed week of golf.
This Lancashire links gem is not overly long by modern standards but its routing and impressive collection of bunkers make it one of the most testing venues on the Open Championship Rota. Opened in 1897 this famous course has only just celebrated its centenary and yet the design is almost identical to the original plans laid down by George Lowe. It wasn’t however until Harry Colt subtly tweaked it between 1919 and 1922 that it became an Open Championship venue. (more)
The Lancashire course could hardly have had a better introduction to Championship golf than the victory by legendary American amateur Bobby Jones when The Open was first played there in 1926. Royal Lytham and St Anne’s has also been the scene of many more historic wins. Who can forget Seve Ballesteros becoming the Car Park Champion in 1979 or David Duvall’s win before he disappeared into the doldrums?
With such rich history and a course that produces exciting golf, the 2012 Open Championship is set to be a lively affair. From the 19th to the 22nd of July golf fans will flock to the Lancashire coast to get a front row seat at the greatest show in golf. Book your place now by completing the enquiry form.
