Day 5
 Today play Carnoustie , host to the British Open on seven
occasions and considered by many to be the most challenging of all Open venues.
While the links is relatively flat it is exposed to the elements. A combination
of length and accuracy are required from the tee and approach shots demand
precision to the greens heavily guarded by steep bunkers and burns. Arguably the
toughest finishing holes in championship golf, the course gained much praise
following a testing but fair set up for the 2007 Open Championship. Please note
there is one golf cart available to hire for medical certificate holders.
Certain restrictions may apply, please advise your Golf Travel
Specialist.

the outward holes.

includes a "Cancellation for Any Reason" waiver. The Travel
Protection Plan is only available to Citizens or Permanent Residents of the USA

into the daily ballot (lottery) which is drawn every day for next day's play
except Sunday, the Saturday draw is for Monday play. Success in the ballot is
not guaranteed and chances vary according to the time of year, how busy the
course is and the weather. A minimum two golfers can enter. The handicap limit
for playing the Old Course is 24 for men and 36 for ladies. In addition, an
official handicap card will be a prerequisite for play at the Old Course.
Portable GPS Navigator: GPS systems are available for hire
through National Car Rental at most major rental branches. Please check with
