I agree with this. Why didn’t they announce the masks situation before people bought tickets. Surely a fully vaccinated person shouldn’t have to wear a mask.

A fully vaccinated person can still have covid and pass it on, so a mask helps then. Having the vaccine just stops the vaccinated person from feeling the effects of Covid.

FYI I’m against having masks at the event anyway though.

Very jealous of anyone that got tickets for this.

I'd highly recommend following a group for a full 18 holes rather than staying in the one spot, you'll see more interesting shots that way.

The lack of crowds will mean you'll be able to follow 95% of groups and see every single shot.

Enjoy

What’s the story with parking?

Speak Now

Looking forward to this now hopefully Shane and Padraig will be on opposite sides of the draw.

Just to add to this- I know the mask wearing etc can seem illogical to some but you will quite literally never get a chance again to be this close to Rory, Bob McIntyre, Guido etc with these these small crowds and so up close and able to be this close to action and see how good their ball striking truely is!

Masks will be annoying but there will obviously be the food/ beverage exemptions and as a general viewing experience to get up close to good golf, I imagine this will one of the best Irish opens ever for those lucky enough to be there

If anyone is offloading a ticket I'd love to take one for Friday or Saturday.

Collective response to all, no Covid discussion here please, restrictions (whatever they may be) are what they are.
