Some parts of Kent will be in the world media today and over the forthcoming weekend, as Sandwich hosts The Open, a golf tournament that really is very special. It is a "major" and the Royal St Georges course will test players. In places it is like the uneven ridges & slopes of snow covered mountains, but it is lush green grass.It will also have some wind and maybe lots of it. The winner will be a deserving one. Lets hope its a European that claims the title-there are many of them that could. A Euro winner would be a great testimony to Seve Ballesteros, someone who won that trophy, but died this year. Seve was a major contributor to the success of European golf over many of the recent years.
Kent, and Sandwich, are looking marvellous at the moment. Sadly the weather is not a great advert for the county at present, but it will test the golfers!
Anyway I am looking forward to it all......and the next stage of the Tour de France, after our cricketers won the Series over Sri Lanka, but sadly there were no Brits on the podium at Silverstone and Murray only got to the Semis at Wimbledon. Not to worry though Saracens are still Rugby Champions!
