The Open (Golf) Championship starts tomorrow in Kent. I will see it at US Eastern Daylight Time.
What's the offset between Kent and EDT - 5 hours or 6?
What time (local) will it get too dark to play golf? I see tee times as late as 4:00 pm (local) and it takes between 4 and 4.5 hours to play a round of golf.

Jim, which Kent? There are a number both in the US, UK, and possibly Australia and New Zealand....

England, near Dover. Royal St. Georges, to be exact. We call it the British Open but I understand that The R & A calls it "The Open".

Thanks. I got everything confirmed thru online almanacs. It's 5 hours difference, but in the other direction (6 am UK = 1 am EDT). Local sunset is about 9 pm.

Don't forget to check if they are putting the times as GMT or BST(British Summer Time). BST is GMT+1
