The Open Championship, or simply
The Open (sometimes referred
to as the British Open outside the UK), is the oldest of the
four major championships in men's golf. It is the only major
held outside the USA and is administered by the R&A, which
is the governing body of golf outside the USA and Mexico.
The Open is played on the weekend
of the third Friday in July, and is the third major to take place
each year following The Masters and the U.S. Open and before
the PGA Championship.
The event takes place every
year on one of nine historic links courses in the United Kingdom.
Uniquely among the four Major
championships, the Open features a four hole playoff for all
golfers tied at the end of regulation, with the playoff continuing
into sudden death holes if players remain tied after four holes.

Hot Golf Tip
Each golf tip will teach you to
putt, drive, chip, hit fairways, bunkers, or tough shots - whatever
you want your club to do to your ball!
Here's how to hit it straight
when the hole looks narrow from the tee.
Stand behind your ball and
pick out a landing area, then imagine a direct line from that
spot to your ball.
As you address the ball focus on a spot along that line a few
feet in front of you.
Just before your backswing take a last look at your landing area.
Take a confident swing and forget about the visual distractions
any nasty designer has put in your way.
Try these steps and you'll be on the fairway more often.
