Comments from some of golf’s bigger names – such as Jack Nicklaus – give Sandwich a lower reputation than it deserves. For the pros seeking to win an Open, its randomness and quirks are perhaps not welcome – for the rest of us they should be regarded as terrific fun. Routinely wonderfully entertaining.
