North Staffs Irrigation help prepare for memorable Open return
24 February 2003

Following the announcement that the Open Championship will be held at Royal Liverpool in 2006, North Staffs Irrigation have been awarded the contract to install irrigation to some newly built tees and some new mains pipework at the Club in Hoylake on the Wirral.

Work begins on site in February to provide irrigation to the repositioned tees on the 16th and 18th and mains pipework on the surrounds of the greens on the 10th and 12th to accommodate a new service track.

The work, overseen by Links Manager Derek Green, is the last of the projects that have taken place at the course in preparation for the Championship. North Staffs Irrigation have worked with the Club for the last 5 years and have completed major alterations there over the past two years including installing a new system to the recently completed practice area at the adjacent Hoylake Municipal Golf Club.

Company director Martin Hinchliffe said that they were proud to once again be part of the preparations for a major championship: "We're delighted to be involved with the Club at such an exciting time."
