After exploring Royal Troon for the 2016 Open Championship and visiting the birthplace of the tournament at Prestwick Golf Club, Shane O’Donoghue and CNN Living Golf visits the R&A (Royal & Ancient). The R&A, in conjunction with the USGA, governs the game of golf and its headquarters is at the Home of Golf in St. Andrews.
In the final part of this episode of CNN Living Golf, Shane O’Donoghue sits down with R&A Chief Executive Martin Slumbers as they discuss several topics, including the admittance of women members into several men-only golf clubs. We also take a look at the 121st Amateur Championship in Wales, which the R&A is also in charge of hosting in addition to the Open Championship.
