ROYAL
TROON
Royal Troon, Scotland
The Offical Open Championship print for 2004. A view of the 18th hole with the Clubhouse,
Troon town and the island of Arran across the sea.
(Limited edition of 850)
Royal Troon is located on the
west coast shore of Scotland with magnificent views of
the Irish Sea.
It is a taxing course of par 71
played by low handicappers and beginners alike. Referred
to as the "Old Course at Troon", Royal Troon
has both the longest hole (the 6th at 577 yards) and the
shortest hole (the 126-yard 8th known worldwide as the
"Postage Stamp") of any British Open
Championship course.
Troon was the host course for
the 1997 British Open, as well as the 1989 Open. In the
1973 Open, when commemorating the 50th anniversary of his
first appearance at Troon, Gene Sarazen had a Hole-In-One
and followed it the next day with a Birdie. He later
presented the "5-iron" he used from the tee on
both days to the R. & A.
Because of its humps and
hollows, Royal Troon has had to endure its share of
controversial comment, but is increasingly being
recognized as one of the finest courses on the British
Open roster.
