The R&A have again asked BIGGA to supply a support team of greenkeepers and they will be providing accommodation, food, refreshments and uniform.

Arriving at what is renowned as one of the greatest links courses the team will be required to rake for the players during the tournament itself, and may also be needed to help with early morning preparation work and evening divot duties until the Claret Jug is lifted on Sunday 17 July.
