2096.0. "British Open sites" by PCBUOA::DOONAN () Mon Jul 22 1996 16:54

This one came up over the weekend.

How many different sites does the British Open play at?  I've come up with the 
following:

Royal Lytham & St. Anne's
Royal Birkdale
Royal St. George's
Troon
Carnoustie
Muirfield
St. Andrews
Turnberry

Did I miss any?

Also, is it a strict rotation of these sites, meaning that each course is the 
host every eight years, or are some of the courses the host more often?

	I think St. Andrews gets to hold the open every 5 years. All the others are in a pretty even rotation except Carnoustie which has been skipped over lately but is trying real hard to get back in the rotation. Tom G.
