#407: From the Archives – The Iconic History of the Open Championship

Ever wonder how the Open Championship got started in the 1800s? Curious what golf was like then? Did you know the "Champion Golfer of the Year" (the winner of the Open) took home a BELT instead of the claret jug? What are the courses in the Open Rota? When did Royal Portrush get added back in? What does the open teach us about our own games? Is the Open better than the Masters? All of this and so much more in another "from the archives" mini series for the majors this year. Ev and Cerm hope this helps add a bit of context and gets you fired up for the last major of 2025.  Want to be the biggest hit at your next party or day out at the park or beach?
