It means a lot to all players. Not only do they win around $1.35 million, a 5 year PGA Tour exemption, 10 year majors exemption, the famous green jacket and lifetime exemption to The Masters. But it is the prestige of the event and being mentioned in the same sentence as some of the legends of the game. Some players from the UK would rather win The Open and consider it the games' greatest championship. And players from the US would rather win the US Open as it is their national championship.

It is called the Dunlop 65 because that is was the compression of the original ball.

It is called 65 because that is the score H. Cotton shot in the final round to win the Open Championship. I believe the year was 1950 but that is not certain. The compression of the ball was 90.

OK, it was the second round in 1934, the lowest score ever shot up to that time in an Open Championship round. (see Henry Cotton, Golfer)

A person that shoots 1 over on each hole. For instance, if the hole is a par 4, a bogey golfer would get a 5 on it, and for the total round would shoot a score of exactly 90. In rating the difficulty of courses through course rating and slope rating, the USGA defines a bogey golfer thusly: "A player with a USGA Handicap Index of 17.5 to 22.4 strokes for men and 21.5 to 26.4 for women. Under normal situations the male bogey golfer can hit his tee shot 200 yards and can reach a 370-yard hole in two shots. Likewise, the female bogey golfer can hit her tee shot 150 yards and can reach a 280-yard hole in two shots. Players who have a Handicap Index between the parameters above but are unusually long or short off the tee are not considered to be a bogey golfer for course rating purposes."

Golf in the 60's was vastly different than it is today. Players would play courses that were a lot shorter, the upkeep of the courses wasn't as good and neither was the equipment.

The woods and drivers were made out of wood, and had steel shafts, the grips were usually leather or a cheaper substitute. The irons were all cast and were mainly blades, as cavity backs had not been developed. V grooves were used so there wasn't as much spin.

No one set par at, nor is 72 always par. There are 18 holes on a golf course, the holes are of pars 3,4 and 5, any combination of these is acceptable and the total is par. Par can range from 69-73.
