Royal Portrush will host the British open in 2019, I am delighted for the area as it will be a much needed boost to the  local economy and it will come in an era were we Irish have several players capable of winning the thing on home soil.

I am sure there will be begrudgers and all that but feck them, tens of thousands of people from all over the world will get to witness northern culture at the best time of the year they could possibly do so, they will also get to witness a tremendous venue and great atmosphere that is unique to Ireland and Ireland alone.

Armagh, the one true love of a mans life.

The smoke from the bonfires will hardly be cleared when the players start arriving. I hope there are no road closures!!!!

and take the flegs down, its a beautiful part of the country with serious potential but the fleggers ruin it. Hopefully they will see the bigger picture but very doubtful.

It's The Open Championship or The Open.

Would love to go and would also be tempted to fire a room or 2 onto Air BnB to get some value out of it as I only live 40 mins away.

Anybody know what the story is with tickets? Would they be hard to come by?

Normally I'd be a fan of this sort of pedantry. But in this instance, the use of 'British' helps the less-initiated differentiate it from the Irish Open, recently played at Royal County Down.

Went to the Open at Muirfield a couple of years ago. Tickets were easy got (online) for it but I'd imagine this will be tougher!!

McDowell will still be ten years from the Seniors Tour in 2019.

Great news, and I will certainly hope to go to as many days as possible.
It's only 50 mile from me so it would be a shame not to catch it. 

Well done to everyone involved in making it happen.
next stop, September 10, for number 4......
