The Seniors Open at Turnberry

John Letters Tour Ambassador Andy Gorman, fresh from working on the practice putting green at the Open Championship at Royal Lytham, spent two practice days at Turnberry host for this year’s British Senior’s Open. Conversations were had with many of golf’s legends including Gary Player, a former Letters Staff Player, discussing the Open Championship & the putting stroke. Andy even managed to glean Gary’s valuable insight into the putting stroke of the great Bobby Locke. Andy took full advantage to discuss the Golden Goose putters & the putting stroke with former Ryder Cup player & multiple European Tour winner Gordon Brand Jnr, as well as discussing the virtues of the extended two thumb grip used by Eamonn Darcy.
