R & A giving ‘proper appearance’ on Ireland portmarial as the place of an open championship

The Royal and Ancient Golf Club talks about the Feasibility Study for Open to Return to Rosary. It is far more serious whether to take the oldest golf championship outside the United Kingdom.

The theme was a portmarnock in Ireland. Darbona’s response, the new General Manager of R & AA, was “we are serious”.

“We have a proper view,” Darbona said in a recent interview “is clearly a great course.”

Darbon said he went to the portmarnock, located on the peninsula about 10 miles (16 kilometers) northwest of Dublin, for the first time last month.

“Beautiful connection of golf courses,” he said. “And a clear Link course that provides a challenge to the best golfers in the world is in the heart of our thinking about where to take over our appreciated open championship.”

Darbord showed the history of Portmarnick and R & A, a specific walker in 1991. and British amateur in 1949. and 2019, together with the female British amateur last year and 1931. Years.

“We think that if we meet there our amateur championships there, why not consider opening and open?” He said.

The work remains, especially the logistics of the mass crowd – all about “big” these days – on and off the peninsula.

The Pampian PGA ten years ago is flirtated with the idea of ​​going around the world. For the British open to leave the UK for the first time they would not open more limits.

“I think the simple answer is” no, “would not open our opinion anymore,” Darbon said. “If you return to history, the parent area of ​​the Royal and Ancient Golf Club St. Andrews is British Islands, basically. We think that if we have this great history with the Republic of Irish and its great golf course, then why don’t we look?”
