You've got to love a bit of home grown golfing. The European Open started out in England then moved in 1995 to K Club in Straffan, Ireland. It's a good thing they know how to host a mighty fine sports party.
It's a big one on the player and spectator's golfing calendar. Back in 2007, the total prize money was £2,400,000. Not bad for a stint of 'ball handling'.
