2005 Open Championship

The Open - a physical and mental test of patience, stamina and technique, a tournament that separates the men from the boys.
Preparation is key, the right kit is essential.
A 42" plasma television (of course with fully functional red button for BBC interactive coverage) is a must, along with plenty of sustenance-providing snacks and hops-based energy drinks.
Few sports can take the viewer to the limits of endurance like the Open - but if your eyes are aching at the mere thought of a 10-hour telly marathon then fear not - we're here to help.
Golf Lingo Bingo, a revolutionary twist on the numbers game loved by blue-rinsed octogenarians everywhere, will help you through.
All you have to do is watch the action unfold on the goggle box with BBC Sport, and mark your card when Peter Alliss comes up with another classic line, or Ken Brown steals a driver from Monty's bag.
So tune in, turn it up and (most important of all) print out your Lingo Bingo card - all part of our public service remit...
Most computers will open PDF documents automatically, but you may need to download Adobe Acrobat Reader.
