Britse Ope
Die Britse Ope is die belangrikste Britse gholftoernooi. Dit word elke jaar in ’n ander deel van Brittanje gehou.[1] Die "Ope" in die naam beteken dat beide amateur- en beroepspelers mag deelneem.
Die Britse Ope is die oudste van die vier groot gholfkampioenskappe vir mans. Die geleentheid word jaarliks deur The R&A geadministreer en by een van verskeie gesogte gholfklubs in die Verenigde Koninkryk aangebied. Dit word tans in die middel van Julie gespeel, ná die VSA Ope, maar voor die PGA-kampioenskap (as die 3de van die 4 Grand Slam-gholftoernooie).
Geskiedenis[wysig | wysig bron]
Die toernooi is vir die eerste keer op 17 Oktober 1860 op die Prestwick-gholfbaan in Skotland aangebied. Die eerste elf wedstryde het op hierdie baan plaasgevind. Ná 'n jaar sonder 'n toernooi is dit in 1872 op 'n rotasiebasis tussen verskillende bane in Skotland heringestel. In 1894 is die toernooi vir die eerste keer buite Skotland, by die Royal St George's naby Sandwich in Kent, aangebied.
In 1892 is die toernooi na 72 putjies uitgebrei. In daardie jaar moes toeskouers vir die eerste keer toegangsgeld betaal. Dit was die enigste toernooi waar twee uitskakelings plaasgevind het, na die 2de en die 3de rondte. In 1985 is dit tot 'n enkele uitskakeling, na die tweede rondte, aangepas.
