Meet this year's Open Volunteer Support Team | BIGGA

BIGGA is proud to reveal the names of the association's members who will support the home greenkeeping team at Royal Troon in the hosting of The 152nd Open.

A BIGGA member will join every match during the championship and ensure every bunker is restored after play. The team may also be on hand to support the home greenkeepers in general course maintenance should the need arise.
