Just wondering if anyone was interested or is going to the Ladies English open at The Oxfordshire in Thame, 4th-6th July.
I am going with some friends from our club on the Sat 5th as we have been sent some complimentary tickets ;), we have got a couple of spare tickets if anyone wants to join us.

I have never been to a pro event before so really looking forward to it.
Any thoughts as to what to expect.
Barb :)

Probably get ready to leave with the following..........either a sense of renewed drive and dedication to practise to emulate the fine play you've witnessed........or a sense of black depression/self-loathing, contemplating whether to even bother playing anymore :)

Take some cream for your hands cos of the clapping you'll be doing too. Those girls can putt.

slightly off subject, just got my ticket through for Wentworth - says no cameras!

It's ridiculous; my memory ain't that good, I'm not a lightning artist and it's the reason I bought the camera that I did! (also as it's digital, with the sound switched off it's silent)

The open will be no phones or cameras too. Seems to be a growing trend, and all because of a few idiots who try to get a photo of the top of Tigers backswing.

murph, it's less to do that than with protecting their publishing rights. there is a specific mention of not publishing any written or photographic report without their express permission; of course, the internet has made that easier (this forum was where some of mine were destined!)

sorry barb, but this has really taken the shine off the event for me.
