In addition, those clubs who are members of The Ayrshire Golf Association, and have women members, have also been sent the entry forms for two new events being introduced in 2023.

The Ayrshire Women's Champion of Champions Trophy is being introduced this year, and follows the same format of the men's event, with entry being open to the Women's Club Champion of member clubs from the previous year. The competition will be played over the season, on a scratch basis, with the final being held at a nominated course in August.

In addition an Ayrshire Women's Handicap League Championship is being introduced in 2023. The format of this event is broadly the same as the successful men's competition introduced a few years ago, but the women's event will feature teams of four instead of six players. depending on the number of clubs entering, matches will be played in qualifying sections on a home and away basis throughout the season with section winners progressing to knockout stages and a final in early September.

If any club secretary has not received the relevant entry forms, they should contact the Area Secretary by email at ayrshire.golf@btinternet.com as soon as possible.
