Went on to one in Royal County Down a few years ago and really enjoyed it. I was lucky enough to get a good stand seat at a par 3 (which also had views of the approach from the hole before and the tee off from the next). Just watched the whole field come through then moved to the 17th. I had no real particular interest in following a particular match up so that worked for me.
Some lineup for this year's event.

Get a periscope if you want to move around the course (which I prefer) as if its busy you could end up seeing very little otherwise sit at a stand but that can get a bit boring after a while

Or even better get a TV and watch it on that, as a live spectator sport golf must be the worst, be prepared for lots and lots and lots of sitting around waiting for something to happen.
Went when it was in Newcastle and Portrush but couldn't be arsed this year as couldn't be arsed with the crowds and I have an aversion to up there anyway as the roads are usually bedlam when there is an event on.
A periscope might be handy after all that rain.
Lowry is right about the mobile phones - there will be carnage.
What I would like to see, is a few of those Americans that shout stupid phrases after a shot. We could have a couple of Irish boyos take them out for a dammed good kicking.
I love the golf tournaments. Great days out - you can dander around, plenty of pit stops for drinks and food around the place. Champagne tents in the village!!
I'm not going this weekend but we're heading to the British Open in a few weeks. If the course is anything like Royal County Down, no periscopes needed as you can sit up the banks of the greens. We just picked a hole and watched a few coming through it, then moved to another hole.
Tonight I'm going to an "Evening with Rory McIlroy" in the Waterfront - James Nesbitt hosting it, and Pep Guardiola (sp?) is a special guest. Total gimmick but a bit of craic.
I have been in Portrush & Royal Co Down & was enjoyable enough but wouldn't be killing myself about going back. Maybe the weather didn't help either time & can be difficult at times to get a good vantage point
Haven't seen much of the golf today. How's our Rors getting on?

Anyone for ballyliffen? Have been to the Irish open the past few years,wouldn't mind staying up this time for a few pints possibly after watching the golf on the Friday,many b@bs that general direction? Not a place I have been too often,must have a look about online
Not as many options as south Donegal, but check out Buncrana as they are doing shuttles from there.
Weather dependent, we'll prob go Sat/Sun.
Was up past the course yesterday - looking in great nick.
