Would-be golfers in Cheshire can get in the swing to mark the return of the world’s biggest tournament to the region.

The Open returns to Royal Liverpool Golf Club from July 17-21 for the first time since Tiger Woods won the coveted Claret Jug in 2006.

Craig Thomas, development officer for the Cheshire County Golf Partnership, says: “The chance to see the world’s best players at Hoylake will inspire a new generation of players and clubs across the county are ready to offer them an ideal introduction to the many health and social benefits that golf can bring throughout a lifetime.”
