OPEN ACCOMMODATION
A message from member Michael Weston: “A family member has two rooms available in her bungalow (served by one bathroom). She’s moving out for Open week (eight nights Sunday to Sunday). Cost is £140 per person per night. Mere Road, Formby, close to the train station, just a few stops from Birkdale. Needn’t take the whole eight nights, there’s flexibility. Please let me know if interested. Thanks.

We have been granted courtesy and five tee times from 1.38 to 2.26pm. Thanks to Dan Murphy of Sports Publications/18Players for facilitating this.
Likewise, Mark Townsend for the day at Moortown on Friday September 25. The club has staged many prestigious events, not least the first Ryder Cup match on British soil. Again, we have been granted courtesy and five tee times from 10am. The golf will be followed by soup and sandwiches, cost TBA, and the presentation of trophies.
