Royal Portrush’s future host status for the Open Championship remains uncertain, as other venues like Muirfield and Portmarnock have priority. The Dunluce Links is recognized as a premier location demanding skillful play. Unpredictability is a characteristic of the Open, complicating forecasts. Factors such as weather conditions and course complexities further contribute to this unpredictability, especially with challenging starting shots and the natural beauty of Portrush creating a unique golfing environment.
The consensus among golf's chattering classes in Portrush is that it may be some time until the Open returns. Royal Portrush will be required to wait in line.
The Dunluce Links is a world-class venue, one which will reward only the finest ball strikers as the jousting for the Claret Jug concludes.
At the Open, there is a routine element of unpredictability that makes it so fiendishly difficult to envision before a ball is whacked in anger.
This is the antithesis of a soft start. Any player trying to attack the front left of the green and landing short will watch their ball trickle back.
