Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls... Welcome to Royal Lytham and St Annes!!!
So this thread will be my report on all the action I see from the Ladies British Open 2009 from Royal Lytham.
As one of the greatest Open courses, the course offers a tough test for both amateur and professional, with trade crosswinds blowing all week, and rain coming in from the west. The greens were at 9.5 on the Stimpmeter before the week started, and the strong winds should have dried them out to create even faster, harder bouncing greens.
The key this week is to find fairways like never before, and be very inventive with approach shots. Bunkers truly are penal here, and so the low running shot into greens could be the most popular route into the heavily guarded greens.
I'm at the course on Friday and Sunday, and hope to catch TV highlights at other times. I can;t take photographs because of the camera ban, but I will bring you a report as often as possible!!
