This year
the Open Golf Championship returns to England, to Royal Birkdale on the
north-west coast just by Southport. In 2007 Padraig Harrington won in
dramatic form at Carnoustie after dropping two shots on the 72nd hole
and getting his hands on the Claret Jug only after a four-hole play-off
against Sergio Garcia, who had been long-time leader of the
Championship. Famously caught on the television microphones at the
presentation ceremony was his agreement to his young son’s suggestion
that they use the trophy to store ladybirds.
Location
In
2008 The Open will be played at Royal Birkdale on the north-west coast
of England. This means that there is a wide choice of nearby
accommodation, but early booking is strongly recommended as The Open is
always very well attended in this part of the country.
The Hospitality Village
We are delighted to be once again offering hospitality in the official Royal & Ancient hospitality village, situated on-course adjacent to the eighth fairway. Not only does the hospitality village provide excellent access to the course, it also enables us to be extremely flexible with timings on the day and to look after our clients in the way to which they are used.
The Service
We can provide private tables for ten in shared chalets, or private chalets for thirty or more guests. We will supply table placecards displaying your company motif in colour and the name of each guest. We will also send you itineraries and menus bearing your motif for onward transmission to your guests. Our site staff and hostesses are in attendance throughout the day to ensure that everyone is well looked after.
Structuring the Event
Please refer to the schedule page; wherever possible we are happy to tailor all timings to suit your requirements. The nature of the event allows a great deal of flexibility regarding how structured or informal you want things to be. |
