Re: The Open Golf Championship - Official Workshop Blog

Well, it's only Saturday but we're now all sited and set up for what promising to be a fantastic week! We drove down from the Scottish Open in Inverness last night and it's always exciting arriving at an Open - just the scale of everything is like nothing else.

The course (and particularly the range) isn't easy to get the workshop into as it's in the middle of a little town - not really designed for HGVs!

Anyway, after laying down some more Trackway (to avoid damaging the immaculate turf) we're in, set up, cleaned and polished and ready to go. And the wind was kind enough so I could put the flags up on the roof without any dramas!

We have a great site on the range and a perfect view! We're not far from the 18th green so should experience the amazing atmosphere as the week develops.

Anyway, here are a few pics from our first day...

UTY, would we be putting you guys in too much of a position to ask for your top 3 predictions? ;-)

Shame you don't have a load of Mizuno trinkets ie pens, badges (cheap stuff), then those of us there on practice days could hand them out for you. I would if you wanted you know :)

Fantastic effort there UTY. Last time I was there I was a county youth player and we lost the 1st Foursomes hole by one shot ........ with a 9!

Now, if you're coming to the golf you may want to visit Blackpool (or you may not!)...

You get a great view of the course from the top of the rollercoaster (if you're brave/mad enough)!

Blimey - you've really out done yourself this time UTY. Awesome photos.

BTW, if anyone does happen to pop into Blackpool, remember to set your watch... to 1976.

If you've been following the 2012 Tour Workshop Blog you'll have seen that we're launching a few new MP models this week. Over the next couple of days we'll post a few images but, for now, here's a little teaser...!
