Since early this morning the qualifiers for the Championship proper have been setting out for their first day's play full of confidence and hopeful of success in their attempts to gain one of golf's most valuable titles.
By this evening many will know that such hopes are now only academic, while others will rejoice in the knowledge of a good start.
The concluding stages of the first day's play and all the day's action are introduced direct from St Andrews by Harry Carpenter.

A weekly programme which focuses on people and the situations which shape their lives

Between the ages of 15 and 21 young offenders can be sentenced by courts to spend anything between six months and two years in a borstal. No longer described as punishment - instead always labelled training - it is nevertheless a painful experience for an increasing number of young people. Today there are nearly six thousand young men and women in borstals. More than half of them will be in trouble again after their release - three-quarters of them reconvicted within three years. This high failure rate is seen by critics to show up a system out of step with the needs of inmates and which reflects badly on new ideas in the prison service. It may be called 'training.' It's still a sentence-in which a young offender is taken away from the community; even locked up in a cell.

In this programme, the first of two, James Astor and a Man Alive film team look at two borstals, one closed, the other open.
