Ban on Mobile Phone at Golf Open Championship
Golf fans are being banned from using mobile phones at The Open Championship, according to the DailyRecord.
"Spectators at this year's The Open Championship at Carnoustie will not be permitted to have mobile phones in their possession within The Open site.
This policy is in line with other major golf championships, including this year's Ryder Cup, and follows comments from players concerning the excessive numbers in evidence last year at Hoylake.
In order to implement the no mobile phone policy, security checks of every spectator will be in operation at the paygates."
