SANDWICH, England -- With strong winds set to cause havoc at the British Open, organizers warned Wednesday that some tees may have to be brought forward at Royal St. jerseys from china . Georges to make the course playable. Gusts of up to 48 km/h are forecast for the first two rounds on Thursday and Friday, which -- depending on wind direction -- will make some fairways unreachable off the tee for many players. Royal and Ancient chief executive Peter Dawson picked out the par-5 No. 7 and the short No. 11, which is 243 yards from tee to green, as two of several holes that could be modified. "We do have some wind issues out there," Dawson said. "We made the players aware at the start of the week that some tees may be moved up and they were invited to practice off forward tees if they wished. "I think players should be able to reach the fairway and reach the par 3s, frankly." Otherwise, the course was described by R&A championship committee chairman Jim McArthur as "in terrific condition" and by Dawson as "right up there with the best." "We believe that Royal St. Georges is a true Open Championship test," McArthur said. "Its very much based on strategic play rather than muscle power." Conditions should be easier than in the 2003 tournament at Sandwich, when players were critical that the rough, which gobbled up errant drives, was too thick. As a result of the dry spring in southeast England, Dawson said organizers had been concerned there would be virtually no rough at all. Recent rainfall has calmed their fears. "Weve always said we take what nature gives us but fortunately weve had some rain ... which has been sufficient to rejuvenate the golf course and the amount of rough we have out there is pretty close to what we would like," Dawson said. "We dont like rough to hack out of, which all the players say is enough to give them issues with flier lies and so on. Its not as thick as it might have been but its good playing conditions. Were happy with it." American underdog Ben Curtis was the only player to finish under par in 2003 and Dawson said he doesnt expect particularly great scoring this time. "This course, I think, needs more knowing than most because there are more slightly blind shots here, the kicks off the fairway ... you need to know them," he said. "Like all the links courses, its very wind-dependent how it plays. "I dont think were going to get particularly low scoring here this week, especially with the wind up. The course is tough." Dawson said that, based on advanced ticket sales and early indications on the practice days, he anticipates bigger crowds than in 2003, when about 185,000 spectators came through the gates. wholesale jerseys .
