Of course its a bucket list course and so the butterflies were definitely around on the first tee. As soon as you glimpse the iconic club house turning off the main road it brings a smile to your face. We were met at the door by Ian who was rapidly enthusiasic to show us round and talk through some of the previous Open final round moments, it really built the excitement ahead of going out trying to do the course justice. Certainly for me Birkdale showed me its teeth and risk reward holes took their toll as I was drawn in. It is a fantastic design and weather was a huge factor making relatively easy holes punishing in place. Despite not posting a decent score I thoroughly enjoyed the round and left wanting to come back to test my skills once more, surely the sign of a great course. Condition as expected was very high, the greens were lightning quick and required a great touch around the greens if chipping in. Seldom will you see a club house so full of silverware and you could spend hours just walking through reading about all the collected memorabilia, a real treat.
