Can I get a copy of the 2008 Bitish Open golf tournament tv coverage? Any help is appreciated…
I know it is the Open Championship, I was there as well. I also know that the ABC coverage generally refers to the tournament as the British Open and that is the tv coverage I am hoping to get a copy of. I’m not sure who to contact at ABC to purchase a dvd. If anyone knows who to contact or if someone has a copy I can get that would be great. Thanks again!
i was at the open and when i got home i was looking forward to watching it. my wife taped it on long play starting at 11 but didnt realise that it switched channels at 2.30. oops ive just realised that you dont even know what the event is called! so i cant take you serious. its called the OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP!. when will people realise that there is no such thing as the british open?
Follow up on earlier question about PGA Golf US OPEN next week?
Tiger played this week a practice round and the news reported the course is closed and he was the only one on the whole golf course. So did he get spec treatment or could have Phil been out there too at same time or even the Little known amat for the open ..he could have gone out there and played the same holes right behind Tiger ???
The Course is closed to those not playing the open………Practice rounds are allowed to participants……no special treatment at all
Why are British Open scores higher on average than other golf majors?
For example the two finalist were only -2.
Are the courses that much more difficult or the wind the major factor since there are no trees between the links.
For one, you have weather (specifically, wind) as a dominant factor that has heavily influenced the last two Opens.
The US Open would have had higher scores, however all the rain kept scores fairly low. If Bethpage had played “firm and fast” you wouldn’t have seen the scores you did…level par would have easily won, and possibly +2/+4. Keep in mind that Torrey Pines in 2008 was set up very favourably, and yet…look at the winning score.
While links courses typically do not have trees, they do have tall fescue that can be brutal to advance the ball out of; plus rock-hard fairways (they typically do not water the fairways at the Open Championship).
Last year’s PGA Championship…scores were fairly high. This year at Hazeltine…depends on the setup, but 2010 at Whistling Straits…the wind could be a huge factor.

What do grounds passes to the 2009 US Open golf tournament give you access to?
Do you sit anywhere or do you follow a certain group the entire time? Also, if you follow one particular group, how is it determined what group you follow?
You sit anywhere that is not a reserved section. You can follow any group you want if that is your desire. Be aware that most of the Big players will have a huge crowd following so getting to see everything is pretty tough.
