There will be much excitement at Musselburgh Old Links this weekend as 80 golfers from all over the UK and Europe play in this celebratory competition to celebrate Willie Park senior’s winning the Open.
All competitors will receive a commemorative medal as a souvenir of the day and the winners will be presented with highly sought-after Musselburgh Open Champions medals.
Following the golf there is a Gala Dinner in the evening at the Brunton Hall with speakers Alex Hay and Mungo Park who is a great grandson of Willie. The Dinner is sold out which shows how popular the event is to Musselburgh people.
On the following day, Sunday, there is an 18 hole pro-am. Nine of the local pros, along with Perry Somers, the French Hickory 2009 Champion and runner-up in the Australian Hickory Open of 2009, will partner ten of the qualifiers from Saturday’s competition in a two-ball better-ball competition.
Among the pro. team are Elliot and Zack Saltman, Lee Harper, Chris Kelly, Chris Russell, Kenny Glen, Jonathan Porteous, Chris Callman and Sean McAllister.
Though the Dinner is sold out, there’s still room for a few more players on Saturday.
