Fun for all the family at Senior Open Championship
Organisers have planned a weekend of family activites for Carnoustie event
Just to prove the Senior Open Championship is not just for adults, organisers have arranged activities throughout the weekend - specifically with the family in mind.
Presented by Mastercard, the Senior Open Championship heads to Carnoustie this year from July 22 to 25, and is planning on creating a fun-filled family atmosphere to last from Thursday right through to the event's climax on Sunday.
A range of activities will be on offer in the tented village area which will be open to all attending this year's Senior Open Championship. These include a golf simulator, golf nets with advice and assistance from professional instructors, a merchandise pavilion and public catering facilities.
On Saturday July 24, the tournament will also stage a special Family Fun Day in the village between 10am and 5pm, where there will be a number of activities on offer including a family golf competition.
To add to the family focus at this year's Senior Open Championship, sponsor Carnoustie Country will also host a 'Junior Open - Take the Challenge' tournament along with clubgolf Scotland, with hotly contested daily prizes for the lowest scoring boy and girl in chipping, putting and swing competitions.
As part of the programme, last year's Senior Open Champion Loren Roberts, pictured above, will be running a golf masterclass on Carnoustie's driving range on Wednesday July 21, aimed at young people who have had little or no involvement in the sport.
Roberts will then defend his title when he takes his place amongst a world-class field that also includes Sir Nick Faldo, Bernhard Langer, United States Ryder Cup Captain Corey Pavin, Sam Torrance, Tom Watson and Ian Woosnam.
During the tournament, clubgolf will also be running lessons and bookings for these will be taken each day at the Carnoustie Country stand in the tented village.

The worst kept secret in golf is finally out. Tiger Woods will play in this year’s Ryder Cup, captain Corey Pavin having elected to give the embattled 14-time major winner one of his four wild cards.
No great surprise there. As poor a season as he has had by his own high standards, compared to the rest of the guys ...
