2012 British Open

The British Open.  For many this encapsulates the essence of how golf should be played.  A well worn tradition dating back to 1860, the British Open is held proudly in the golfing hearts of many.  Whilst only 8 contested the inaugural event in Prestwick, Scotland it is fair to say that golf has come a long way since those times and Go Golfing is delighted to present you the unique opportunity of experiencing your very own Open moment.

The Claret Jug, once of the most recognised trophies in sporting history in fact was not the original winners prize-the Challenge Belt was where it all started.  The Jug however has since proved a prestigious trophy in the world of golf.  The question however is, who will hold aloft the 2012 trophy?  We can take you there.

2012 British Open will be hosted by Royal Lytham St Anne’s Golf Club in the hamlet of Lancashire.  The course is one of the premier links courses and has triumphantly hosted ten open championships, two Ryder Cups a rich tapestry of golfing greats have graced it’s fairways.  Before we get to see the best in action we are lucky enough to test our own golfing prowess on the hallowed greens of St Andrews, Royal Birkdale, Royal Troon and Turnberry… It does not come bigger than this.

A private clinic hosted by Jim Farmer will provide a valuable insight into links golf techniques, how to manage mighty pot bunkers and the art of the cheeky bump and run will have you ready to tackle the best of the British.

Taking in landmark cities of Edinburgh and Liverpool you’ll be able to   experience a private whisky tasting in an authentic distillery and bust out your best Beatles impersonation with an optional Beatles tour in Liverpool. Along the way, your every whim is taken care of by experienced hosts and at the end of a long day rest assured that we have that covered too, historic hotels and manors will provide warm hospitality.
