Sky Sports reporter Tim Barter clocked up some paces at Carnoustie as he took us through the long journey from the arrival at the clubhouse to the first tee.

The Sky Sports cameras follow Tim from the Carnoustie hotel through to the new £5m state-of-the-art clubhouse, which caters for all the players' needs as they prepare for The 147th Open.

Then it's time to make our way to the nerve-jangling first tee, surrounded by grandstands, where this year's field face a reasonably gentle opening hole - a 396-yard par-four named "Cup" as they get their Open campaigns underway.

Watch the video above to see Tim Barter take the long journey from the clubhouse to the first tee ahead of The 147th Open, live all week on Sky Sports.
