For me Lytham has the best fairway and greenside bunkering I have seen. I have stayed in the Dormy House a couple of times and had a great time playing snooker after delightful dinners. I need to get back as it’s over 10 years since last visit.
Although it sounds rather like a fossil fuel, 'petrichor' is now a word I can hardly wait to use. And on the subject of smells, I'm reliably informed that Gary Player's win at Lytham in 1974 created a bit of a stink. The story goes that the ball his caddy found on the 16th hole on Gary's final round wasn't the ball he lost but one that had been discretely dropped by the aforementioned caddy. Because of this suspicion of skulduggery, Gary Player's name has been left off the honours' board in the caddy shack where all the other Lytham Open Champions are listed.

Take me, take me!

There was a similar incident involving Mark O’Meara at Birkdale in 98
