  • [CHAMPIONSHIP] How, of Course
    Invitation Tom O'Brien was instantly impressed with Royal Birkdale when he walked the course for the first time 13 years ago. At the age of 48, he accepted the Head Greenkeeper's post in what could have been his last opportunity to handle an Open Championship, as well as his first. JOHN NELSON met the man who is again preparing his course for a world-class test of golf om O'Brien, B.E.M., is the name. On his shoulders rests Tthe reputation of Royal Birkdale for providing a world- class test of golf at The 120th Open in July. It could not be in better hands. Tom's the head greenkeeper and this will be his second Open preparation. He had his baptism in 1983 and although it was an experience not without its traumas, his course was universally acclaimed. Now, once again, he's in the hot seat, under the spotlight. What kind of man is he? How has he gone about preparing the course? Was it a benefit having done it before? How can other head greenkeepers gain from such experience? Golf and greenkeeping have been his whole life. Indeed, he grew up as part of the Scottish tradition whereby golf was the natural thing to do. Everyone played and virtually every village had its own course. He comes from Muirhead, Glasgow originally and on leaving school immediately start- ed a career as a greenkeeper. He joined his local club - Mount Ellen - as the junior member of its green staff. Mount Ellen is a downland course and Tom joined a team of four.

  • Southport & Ainsdale Golf Club
    Southport & Ainsdale Golf Club Welcome to Southport & Ainsdale Golf Club Off the course, the refurbished clubhouse creates a splendid setting for unwinding after a round. The main lounge and patio to the front provide stunning views across the course, including the 18th green and 1st tee. Complemented with a warm welcome and exceptional catering, everything is in place for a truly memorable experience at Southport & Ainsdale. Nestled amongst the sand dunes on the Southport coastline, the course has hosted many prestigious tournaments, including two Ryder Cup matches in 1933 and 1937. Although the passing of time has inevitably brought about some changes, the traditional feel of a genuine championship links, as envisaged by world renowned course designer James Braid in the early 1900s, has remained. Our Course | A true Championship links Without question, all of the holes at S&A are of Championship standard, but if one had to be singled out it would probably be the par 5 16th. This famous hole has a great hill and bunkers, lined with railway sleepers and is a cunning trap catching poor second shots. It is called ‘Gumbleys’ after a gentleman who spent some time in there many years ago. Consistently voted as one of the UK’s Top 100 Courses, our links offers a demanding, interesting and fair challenge to players of all abilities. Every player can see a chance to score, however, the relatively narrow fairways and small bunkers make for a great test. As with all true links, the wind strength and direction make the course play differently every day.
