The internet has opened up a wonderful archive of video footage from the world of golf allowing followers the opportunity to relive favourite events from the past. The R&A have excelled and the archive on their website includes some superb footage from Open's going back to the old black and white footage from as far back as 1923.

Have a run through the full archive at The Open Championship Video section on the official championship site.

Fancy a quick look at some of Ayrshire's highlights?

Turnberry 1977 - The Duel in the Sun or how about going all the way back to 1925 and Prestwick's final hosting of the event. Or how about Arnold Palmer's back to back victory at Troon.

If you've got some spare time one evening it's well worth just having some time to flick through the memories of great Open Championships past - you can watch each event or select great shots, holes in one or eagles. Great use of technology!

The R&A's official website is a mine of information with scores from all players for each round, great photo galleries and genuinely wonderful video footage.
