The Barclays Scottish Open Live

The Barclays Scottish Open is once again played at Loch Lomond, as it has since 1996, to become one of the most looked forward to courses on the European Tour schedule. This year it will be held from Thursday, July 9^th to Sunday, July 12^th. Your place for all the action, as well as for all of the events on the European Tour is right here on www.watchlivegolf.com. Loch Lomond was opened in 1994, and two years later became the premier location in Scotland for the Scottish Open.

The course is 660 acres of perfectly landscaped greens and fairways, surrounded by the mountains and the loch, with streams and marshes crossing throughout the course, making a truly spectacular location. It is listed as one of the top 100 finest golf courses in the world and is a challenging course for these pro-golfers to compete on. The course is 7,100 yards and a Par 71. The course was voted as the number one course in Scotland by Bunkered and in the top fifty in Golf Magazine. The main sponsor is Barclays, which has several branches of work including investment banking. They operate in over fifty countries and have more than 42 million customers worldwide.

The 2008 Champion was Graeme McDowell, who had a great season last year that included a shot from 179 yards that landed within a foot of the hole at Ballantine's. He also had a Ryder Cup debut against the US at Valhalla, as well as winning the 2008 Barclays. He will be back to defend his title this year as the event starts on Thursday. If you want to watch this tournament, or any of the European Tour events then simply get your membership by clicking on the banners on this page.
