Ohter former winners over St. Nicholas/St. Cuthbert included Leslie Crawford (Caprington) in 1963 and the 1955 British Boys Champion, Stewart C. Wilson (St. Meddans) who won the Ayrshire title that same year over the Prestwick courses.
The Championship will be played over 36 holes strokeplay, with the trophy being won by the player returning the best scratch aggregate score. There will also be a number of scratch and handicap prizes.
The handicap limit for the championship is 12, and players will be balloted by handicap, if necessary, on the closing date for entries, Monday 18th July.
The entry fee for The Championship this year is £ 5.
The players returning the 8 best scratch aggregate scores will progress to contest The Ayrshire Boys Matchplay Championship whic will be held from 11th to 13th August over the links at Prestwick Golf Club.
