| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles the Old Course at Royal Troon Golf Club, which "offers a demanding test of links golf and has all the credentials necessary to test the very best in the world" and is hosting the 2004 Open Championship. Discusses the Open Championships that have been hosted by Royal Troon in the past and the golf champions that were around when Royal Troon was hosting. Describes how the golf course is preparing for the tournament, stating that "preparations for the coming Open began as soon as the last one was over. Particular efforts have been made to strengthen the botanical composition of the putting greens by reducing proportions of annual meadow-grass...new tees have been introduced at the 1st, 6th, 11th and 15th holes...the position of the bunkers has also been reviewed and a total of 10 new hazards have been introduced at the 1st, 2nd 4th, 7th and 16th holes making a grand total of 93 on the course." |
