Video Clips From The Open Championship At Carnoustie

At 6:30 this morning Joe Durant had the honour of being the first player to play the opening shot of this year’s Open Championship. You can imagine despite days of practice, the realisation that this shot is for real and counts, must make even the most confident pro nervous. It’s a whole different ball game to the practice days when the players get the chance to experiment with different shots, have a laugh with their playing partners and sign autographs whilst they play.

I had the pleasure of walking around Carnoustie Championship Links two days ago, a day of summer sunshine sandwiched between the downpours of Monday and Wednesday. It certainly must have kept the players guessing what clothing to pack in their golf bags – ultimately you need everything for Carnoustie.

Below I have displayed five videos from my day at Carnoustie:

360 Degree View From Behind The 17th Green

A 66 second video recorded at the top of the grandstand behind the 17th green. The video shows the Par 4 17th hole called Island at 461 yards and the Par 4 18th hole called Home at 499 yards. Footage also shows a complete view of the course in all directions.

360 Degree View From Beside The 18th Green

A 54 second video recorded at the top of the grandstand beside the 18th green. The video shows the 18th hole, the hotel and town as it pans 360 degrees.

    Hi Andy

    Thanks for your video clips. They give a good view of the course. I have been to St Andrews a few times and I can see that Carnoustie is very different from the ‘ Old Lady’.
