The British Open is being played in my Village (Birkdale) and I thought I'd share a couple of pictures. These are from practice days as you aren't allowed to take cameras or phones in on championship Days. Overall the crowds have been very respectful of the place and the small village shops/pubs have been doing a roaring trade.
The Club House
For those of you at the Summit who heard me talk about the 'roundhouse' here's me outside it. As the story goes - Coke offered the owner $5 to paint it into a coke can for the week - their offer was declined
My brother at the leaderboard
Him again, this time with VJ Singh
Finally the Course, I've heard a few of the non Europeans complain it's too windy and the rough is too long; I think it's a great links course. You can't see it here but the beach is about 100 metres to the left of the photo.
