AYRSHIRE CLUB COMPETITIONS - Two new inter club county events to be introduced in 2016

Two new inter club county knockout events are to be introduced to the Ayrshire Golf Association championships this year.

The SCRATCH TEAM KNOCKOUT and HANDICAP TEAM KNOCKOUT competitions are to be introduced in 2016.

Both events will be played separately, but will be contested under a similar format, comprising two singles and one foursomes tie.

Matches will be played on a one off basis, either home or away, with a new draw being made after completion of each round.

All ties in the matches will be played to a finish, continuing into extra holes if necessary.

Details of both events will be forwarded to club secretaries by email in the near future, with entries anticipated to close on 28th February.

It has been decided that, for the first year, clubs will be invited to take part in both events with no entry fee being applied.

It is hoped that the introduction of these competitions will give clubs an opportunity to involve more of their members in playing representative golf on behalf of their clubs.
