Part 2 of our summer special focuses on tournament week for the 2019 Open Championship which culminated in Ireland going mental as Shane Lowry won on home soil. His win was after much drama, excitement, some home fan disappointments, but the most memorable Open Championship of our lives. Martin & Des continue their conversation with John Bamber, Chairman of the Championship Committee and, in reality, the man who delivered the Open. What was his week like as the biggest sporting event in NI history unfolded right in front of his eyes? Interact with the podcast on Twitter @ITFOG_podcast

Martin and Des sit down with John Bamber, Chairman of the Championship Committee that delivered the Open to Royal Portrush in 2019.

Part 1 of our double header summer special focuses on what it took to get the Open back to Northern Ireland in 2019 and some of the obstacles the team overcame.  Interact with the podcast via Twitter  @ITFOG_podcast
