Martin and Des sit down with John Bamber, Chairman of the Championship Committee that delivered the Open to Royal Portrush in 2019. Most of us simply saw a spectacular event on the north coast gem that is Royal Portrush, but for John and his team tournament week was the culmination of nearly a decade's work. 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
