🚨 Exciting day at The Royal Liverpool Golf Club! A routine day’s work turned into quite the adventure when staff stumbled upon what looks like an unexploded artillery shell buried deep on the course. All matches have been temporarily cancelled as the bomb squad inspects this historic find. 🚫⛳️
Located in Hoylake, the course is a site rich with history, and it seems a bit of that history decided to make a surprise appearance! The discovery was made during some drainage work, and the area has been cordoned off for safety. The clubhouse, situated safely away from the action, remains open for business. 🏌️♂️☕
Merseyside Police were called in around 12:30 PM on Friday to handle the situation. They’ve advised the public to steer clear of the course for the time being, ensuring everyone’s safety. We’re all waiting for the experts to give us the all-clear and determine the next steps. 🕵️♂️🛑
Club secretary Simon Newland mentioned that they’re currently awaiting updates and initial inspections to be completed. No word yet on when golf will resume, but safety first, right?
Stay tuned for more updates as we keep an eye on this explosive discovery! 😉
