Welcome to May's featured events. The website now has a 'News' section where we've been able to focus in more detail on events rather than just having a monthly newsletter, so I'm going to use this to point out some of the events featured recently, as well as introduce one or two new ones.
The hub of Open Golf Events is the Events Search engine, that allows people to search for events suitable for them in their area etc. Often this is a relatively small event at a local club that provides both great value and a great experience. However, most of us prefer to read about those once-in-a-lifetime bucket-list events, and so we have created a dedicated Bucket List section on the website for these.

Update from the Engine Room
Beyond the News section, not many new features to report on this month. We continue to add new events every week, and encourage Golf Clubs to adopt their pages on the site. If there's any feature or search option that you'd like to see, please send me an email and I'll see what I can do.
In the meantime, play fast, play well, stay injury free, and have fun out there!
