2017 AYRSHIRE STROKEPLAY CHAMPIONSHIP - Change of date for this year at Western Gailes

The Ayrshire Strokeplay Championship, traditionally played on the last Sunday in April each year, will be played this year a week later on Sunday 7th May, after consultation with the host club Western Gailes.

Entry forms for the championship will be made available through clubs and the Ayrshire Golf Association web page in due course.

The result of the change of date, for this year only, is that the Ayrshire Matchplay Championship will begin the day after the strokeplay championship, as previously scheduled, from Monday 8th to Thursday 11th May over the links of Prestwick Golf Club, meaning there will not be the usual week gap between the strokeplay championship and the start of the matchplay.

The event remains a counting event for the World Amateur Golf rankings.

All prospective participants are encouraged to note the new arrangements, which will be included in the full calendar of events which will be published soon.
