Although the club receives a fee from the R & A for the competition being played on their golf course it barely covers the cost of extra overtime for the greenkeeping staff plus the loss of income from visiting golfers.
In my opinion the R & A should purchase sufficient land to construct their own golf course where the Open Championship and other R & A run national competitions can be played every year.
A bit like the US Masters which is played at Augusta every year.
