The historic Muirfield Golf Course in East Lothian, Scotland hosts the AIG Women’s Open for the first time this week. Tournament director Zoe Ridgway and Club Historian Robin Dow discuss the significance and intricacies of this fiendish venue which boasts possibly the greatest list of past winners of any championship course. After a turbulent stretch that saw the R&A remove the course from its Open Championship Rota, in 2019 the club invited its first 12 women members after a successful re-vote and the R&A announced this significant event the following year.
Special thanks to the R&A, Muirfield, and the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers.

Need more wokeness please, not woke enough. Do better
Loved the old design notes. "As it now is: TERRIBLE"
"Mastering common sense" is a great phrase.
Little out of town still i a wee bit of a bubble so tired of the virus. My memories although early nineties couple of funky B and B just off King square not far from Trafalger old shire of London Town just walking steps from the Tube again with stupid virus maybe next year. Want to return to see the Emerald Isle for the first time as I have a direct connection there not too far removed. Sawadee Khap.🤠
