Ayrshire Golf Association Competitions Convenor, Sandy Provan, commented :-

" It is pleasing to see a number of new clubs entering the event this years, and others who had previously taken part returning.
Its important to stress that, whilst everyone likes to win, and most take it very serious, it is a fun competition, where we get playing other clubs and courses in hopefully nice conditions. Its a league format so everyone is guaranteed games, even if they cant field a low handicap team, players will not always be available! Its about enjoying golf ".
