Hey Chris...I'm gutted that we'll not be playing it on here (a Brit Open for 2 years on the trot) but here's the icing on the cake.
Muirfield's only 15 mins from me and will be even closer if I bribe my client with some free seo work on one of his sites.
one of his houses overlooks Muirfield's 1st Tee. (his £3.5 million holiday pad)
these photos were taken from inside his house around a week ago whilst Muirfield gets ready for the Open.
he's rented it out to McIlroy & McDowell the week / weekend prior to the Open for a crazy £25K whilst they practice the course. :)
not having virtual Muirfield's well....arf...arf....arf....& if I decide not to bugger off to Paris all July...I'll just toddle on down to Muirfield and quaff champers sitting out on the terrace watching the pros teeing off :)
when watching coverage, look out for a tall guy standing on a terrace in view of the 1st tee with champers in hand and wearing a T Shirt with some juicy text printed on it :)
