With the new Senor Men's Matchplay Championship following on from this years event, involving the eight players returning the best scratch scores on the day, the interest in this year's competition has raised the prospect of a waiting list for entries to the event for the first time.
With 90 players already confirmed in the field, the remaining two places are at 12.50 and 13.00 hrs.
The player returning the best nett score of the day will win the Sandy Provan Trophy and the 2022 Ayrshire Senior Men's Championship title. There will also be prizes on a scratch basis, as well as handicap awards in three age categories, along with two nearest the pin prizes.
Entry is £10 as detailed on the championship poster.

The Ayrshire Under 18 team got their 2022 West of Scotland Inter County league title bid off to a winning start on Sunday 29th May, with a 5 - 3 win over Renfrewshire on the King Robert the Bruce course at Turnberry.
With the players enjoying excellent weather for the contest, and the course in superb condition, the Ayrshire team, with some new players representing the county for the first time, led in most ties from early on and despite two of the players being unfortunate enough to lose the final hole for a single hole defeat, sufficient points had already been secured in the match for overall victory.
