Virtual Open Championship

Aussie Golfer recently extolled the fabulous World Golf Tour which is the best, most realistic online golf game to date.

In conjunction with the online World Golf Tour, the R&A has announced a Virtual Open Championship to be held in parallel to this years 150 anniversary Open Championship to be held at St.Andrews.

The event is free to enter and “qualifying rounds will take place from 1 June on www.opengolf.com, www.wgt.com and www.espnarcade.com, before the leading 156 competitors contest two championship rounds in the week immediately following The Open. One official winner will receive an all expenses paid trip for two to St Andrews”.

So if you’ve missed the deadline to qualify for the real thing, maybe a virtual shot at golf glory is the way to go.
