Links style golf at its finest at the Open Championship

September 4th, 2023 Golf Betting

Links style golf at its finest at the Open Championship. US fans of the PGA Tour are accustomed to wide open, long, lush verdant seas of green that seem to go on and on, yet this will hardly prepare them for what is to come in the Open Championship betting.

The Open Championship as most fans know is nothing like fans see in America and makes for a very impressive change when this Championship odds roll around. The links style of golf presented in the Championship betting is unique to the UK and this style of course play doesn’t get any better than what will be on display in the Championship odds.

Links style golf is as old as the game itself, and has changed little throughout the history of the Championship betting. When the game was originally invented in the late 1400s the terrain was rugged -just as it is in the Championship odds of present- and the technology rudimentary. The early stages of golf developed on rough and rugged, wind swept hills of the Scottish highlands and the courses used in the Championship betting still reflect this. Take a look at of the Championship betting courses used in the past few decades and many Americans would hardly even recognize them as being golf courses.

By Sunday afternoon in the Championship betting the courses are brown and dying in the fairways. The greens in the Open Championship odds fair only slightly better and retain a bit more of their green color. When it’s windy at the Championship betting (which every fan of the Championship betting knows it almost always is) the course dries out quickly and makes things impossibly fast. If it’s raining during the Championship betting (which it often does in the Championship betting) the course can turn to muck. And as if that’s not enough to ruin the Championship hopes of a young player, the three foot rough or man hole-like bunkers will certainly do the job.

The links style golf of the Open Championship betting is incredibly challenging and that’s what makes the Championship odds so special.
