dim wit..its The Open Championship ya muglet....no "British" in the title.
|
|
By:
There is no British Open. The Open is run from St Andrews in Scotland so after independence I'm sure they will be kind and let England have the occasional Open.

Empty net for the OP. Matching his brain no doubt.
Let's all laugh at Ron. |
|
By:
It is the British Open, there is also the US open, Irish Open, Scottish Open and more...
Only arrogant English and Scottish people insist on calling it The Open. |
|
By:
I always thought it was called " the open " or "the open golf championship" if its referred to as " the British open " that's probably just the tabloids treating the general public as though they were all dimwits.

Scotland just whipped England at marbles for a place in the final ,great stuff apart from the unsavoury scenes at the end
|

By:
The Scottish Open is held the week before. You are very confused.
The Open was never a regional championship, it was the first event of its kind. It was called the Open. It is still called The Open. It isn't "arrogant", it is a fact |

Idf Scotland gets independence, Hadrian's Wall should be rebuilt to keep them out! Enough immigrants in the UK as it is!

By:
Did you come up with that all by yourself Slicer, or did you read it in w4nker monthly magazine?
|
|
By:
The US calls it the British open, the English and especially the Scots should realise this and
stop being so silly. |
|
By:
It is really poor form to insist on calling it the Open..very concusing and charmless.
|
|
By:
The US accredited broadcasters and uspga have seen the error of their ways and now use the correct terminology.
So it would seem that you are completely wrong |
|
By:
not really ,the game was invented in GB and hence The Open as its the founding tournament ,thee open The Open
lets not get into pedantics about who invented Golf  |
|
By:
Aericans really have impeccable manners, the Scots and English could do
likewise and not even deem to notice..very vulgar to do so. |
|
By:
The title " the Open " is down to the fact it was the first & the original Open championship, as there are now many many " opens " some have labelled ours as " the British Open " to differentiate from any other competition, personally the term " the Open " does set it apart from every other tournament.
Is it wrong to call it " the British Open " probably not but neither is it wrong to call it just " the Open " which I suspect more traditionalists would probably use, one things for sure its hardly worth falling out over |
|
By:
so THE OPEN can be held in France next year?
|
|
By:
no because it is scheduled to be held in scotland. If the R&A decided to hold it in France they could. Another inconvenient fact unfortunately.
