AYRSHIRE BOYS TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP - New championship title as competition becomes all inclusive

The traditional opening event in the Ayrshire golf calendar, The Ayrshire Boys Team Championship, will undergo some important changes prior to the staging of the 2017 event at Caprington Golf Club on Sunday 23rd April this year.  

The major alteration to the competition itself is a change of conditions to allow clubs to submit a team consisting of both boys and girls for the first time, the event having previously been exclusively for male junior golfers.

The change follows on from the decision taken in recent years by The Ayrshire Junior Golf League to allow mixed teams in all their competitions, which has proved to be a success, Rachel Foster becoming the first girl to be in a title winning Ayrshire Junior Golf League Championship team when Turnberry took the title in 2016.

The championship will now be known as The Ayrshire Junior Team Championship, and other than the significant player qualification alteration, the format of the event remains the same, with the Matt Lygate and Andrew D Nimmo Trophies being competed for in the team competition and the Prestwick Circuits and Carrick Trophies being contested on an individual basis..

Entry forms and further information will be forwarded to clubs in due course.
