Great news emerged earlier last month following the staging of the English Senior Open at Rockliffe Hall in County Durham. After only about six weeks of preparation, the course provided a great test to the European Senior Tour's best. According to Paul Fraser of The Northern Echo, Rockliffe Hall’s chairman Warwick Brindle said, '"We are being told that we have everything to be a future venue for the main European Tour."' Fraser also said, "If the business contacts of Rockliffe Hall’s managing director Nick Holmes and Brindle can secure a notable sponsor for the English Senior Open next August, all eyes will be on repeating the trick to bring the main Tour back to the region. Laying on a European Tour event would mean a financial package well in excess of £1 million would have to be put together, which is why raising the money to support the second English Senior Open at Rockliffe Hall next August will be crucial going forward."
