I live 60 miles from the Celtic Manor Golf Course. They will be only letting in approx 50,000 people for the three days of the competition and about the same for the three practise days. Ordinary golfers (ie not Corporate Fat Cats) had to apply online by June 2009 and they held an initial ballot in the August, and a second ballot in May. My wife and I have tickets for the Wednesday practise day, which will allow us to see all the players in a relaxed way, and enjoy the atmosphere, but then watch every ball being hit in front of our television. One of our favourite traditional songs is 'We'll keep a Welcome in the Hillsides, We'll keep a welcome in the Vales, This land of Love will still be singing, When you come home again to Wales'. Croeso! Welcome!
