The prestigious Final Qualifying for the 153rd Open will take place at Burnham and Berrow Golf Club on Tuesday July 1st.
The event will see 72 players play 36 holes with the aim of qualifying for The 153rd Open.
It is anticipated that local golf fans will attend to spectate and so The R&A and Golf Club have been working with local authorities, including the AA, to put measures in place to enable this, as they did last summer.
A spokesman told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “To ensure public safety and manage the flow of traffic close to the venue, no-waiting cones will be in place on a small section of the Berrow Road, between Gore Road/Stoddens Road and Saxondale Avenue. These will be put in place on the afternoon of Monday 30th June.”
“There will be minimal disruption in the days before and after the event. On Tuesday 1st July the roads are likely to be busier due to the transport of Players, Officials, Staff and Spectators to the event.”
“Please note the Public Footpaths bordering the course and two crossing points to the beach will remain open and unaffected. However, the crossing points will be marshalled by volunteers to reduce stoppage to play and to promote safety.”
“Members of the club and general public are welcome to attend Final Qualifying events. Access to the course will be managed by The R&A in order to ensure that the player experience for all competitors is maintained and to protect the welfare of all attendees.”
