    With the 2025 Open due to return to Portrush we thought it was a good time to reprise our episodes on what it takes to put on a major championship. We were fortunate to sit down with John Bamber, Chairman of the Championship Committee for the 2019 Open and hear all about the commitment/effort/determination required to get the Championship back to the north coast of Northern Ireland. This remains one of our highest rated episodes of the podcast and hopefully well worth the Foggies time to...
