About this book

1969, and there’s a drought at The Open – but not for lack of rain. A Brit hasn’t brought home the Claret Jug in 18 years. Until today, and Tony Jacklin. ‘What a corker’, commentator Henry Longhurst exclaims as Jacklin sinks his final tee shot. As Jacklin is mobbed by an ecstatic crowd, he loses a shoe. Worth it.

This is the story of The Open Championships, as told by newspaper headlines in the Mirror from 1934.

Read about the golfing greats of the last 70 years from the 1934 Open winner Henry Cotton to legends such as Bobby Locke, Peter Thompson, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Tom Watson, Tony Jacklin, Severiano Ballesteros, Nick Faldo, Greg Norman, Tiger Woods and more. 

Revisit the key moments from Muirfield, Royal Liverpool, St. Andrews and the other iconic British courses though newspaper reports written by reporters who saw the rounds with their own eyes.
