SCOTTISH MEN'S AREA TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP - Format of national event to change from 2022

The format of the Scottish Men's Area Team Championship will change from 2022 following an overwhelming vote to alter the format amongst the 16 Area Associations this week.



The present one weekend format for the competition encompasing both strokeplay and matchplay, which Ayrshire last won in 2015, has been in place for ten years, but a recent meeting of the Area Associations decided to revert back to a qualifying section format of purely matchplay golf played throughout the season and culminating in a weekend semi final and final event.

A sub committee has been set up to formulate a detailed format going forward, for presentation and agreement with the sixteen Area Associations later this year.

The 2021 championship is scheduled to take place in Inverness in early September 2021 and will continue in the present format whilst the new championship format is agreed for 2022.
