	Open Golf 2008, Royal Birkdale, 17 - 20 July 2008
		The Official Open Golf Hospitality Club offers a range of four VIP facilities located in the heart of the on course tented village.
		In the immediate aftermath of his dramatic Championship victory at Carnoustie, Padraig Harrington confessed: "If I'd lost I don't know if I'd think of playing golf again." Less than 24 hours later he re-confirmed his determination to be more than a one-major-wonder.
		In that same championship last year, three pars would have won him the title, but he finished with three bogeys, and at this year's Masters he finished seventh.
