Dear Industry Colleague,

What a fantastic Open we have just enjoyed. Great weather, a superb course and remarkably good golf. Huge congratulations go to Ryan Fox who played choke-free golf, especially on the last afternoon, and won the Claret Jug in great style. It’s very refreshing to see a genuinely good man winning with such composure and under significant pressure. Balls of steel!

Also, his dignified performance was in stark contrast to the selfish and childish splutterings of Bryson Dechambeau, who was rightly collared for infringing the rules and held to account by the R&A. Dechambeau is an interesting character and one with a huge talent for the game, but not initially accepting the utterly fair ruling given to him led to all the players in the field not knowing their scheduled start times for the following day until nearly midnight on Friday. Flouncing behaviour and a complete lack of grace did him no favours at all. The galleries for the Open were once again magnificent, fair and sportsman-like – even to Bryson the bore.

This month we feature the outstanding golf complex at Ingrebourne Links. We hope you enjoy the report.

Best wishes,

Colin Jenkins
