Anyone with decent advice on waterproofs?

Not looking to spend a lot, not even been out on the course yet I will definitely attract the rain............

You don't have to have specialist golf ones providing they are comfortable to swing in.
If you want golf ones pro quip are decent and reasonably affordable.

Any suggestions for good places to stay not to far away with good/easy travel links

If he’s young enough to “rough” it, rent a Camper Van or take a tent. The hotels are mega expensive, when me and my mate go to the Open we are there for about 12 hours. Never done the overnight but I would imagine it’s just somewhere to get a kip, golf, pub, kip, repeat, what’s not to like?

Have a look at Hotgolf.co.uk I got a nice set of Sunderland waterproofs with a five year warranty for around £120 I think…

He is in his twentys so hell be fine roughing it lol
I've only ever been to the open for the day myself previously and as you say it is somewhere to get your head down after a day at the golf & a few beers !!

I wasn’t successful in the ballot, he should have a great time and could get a round in between the days he’s going, 150th Open, should be brilliant.
