Volunteers from Wirral Mencap have been helping visitors on their way to enjoy The Open’s return to Hoylake.

More than 300 people signed up to act as volunteer ambassadors welcoming to visitors to The Open on its return to Wirral.

Members of Wirral Golf Academy were given tickets by Wirral Council to allow young golfers to experience the return of The Open to Hoylake.

When it was announced that Wirral was going to host The Open again, we knew it was an incredible opportunity for our borough, and one that other places could only dream of.

With the start of The Open just days away the eyes of the world will be on Hoylake and Wirral as the world’s top golfers and fans arrive in the borough.

The Mayor of Wirral has joined representatives of the Armed Forces Community to raise the Armed Forces Day flag for Armed Forces Day on Saturday 24 June.

Golf fans hoping to soak up the experience of the 151st Open are being advised how to get hold of a ticket.

Hundreds of volunteers have already signed up and started training to help make this year’s Open the best Wirral has ever held.
