Two new women's events have been introduced this year, along with a Mixed Greensomes Knockout competition.

Kilmarnock Barassie Golf Club are the first club to enter the new AYRSHIRE WOMEN'S HANDICAP LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP.

Also being introduced this year is an AYRSHIRE WOMEN'S CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS TROPHY competition, for the women club champions of the member clubs from the previous season, or the runner up should the club champion not be available to play. For clubs that do not currently have a women's club championship competition to determine their nominated participant, it has been agreed that, for the 2023 competition only, that clubs that fall into this category may, if they wish, nominate a member to represent the club in the event, with the proviso that any such nominee will have a maximum handicap of 18.0.

It has also been recently confirmed that the final of the Women's Champion of Champions Trophy competition will take place at Royal Troon Golf Club on Friday the 11th of August 2023, on the same evening as the Men's Champion of Champions final and the senior Men's Matchplay final.

The other new event being introduced this year is the AYRSHIRE MIXED GREENSOMES KNOCKOUT CHAMPIONSHIP. This event is open to all members of Ayrshire Golf Association member clubs. Each pairing will consist of one man and one woman and the two players can be from any affiliated club, and do not need to be from the same club. This is an individual team event and not a club representative one, and there is no restrictions on the number of players from and single member club taking part in the event. A special introductory entry fee of just £5 per couple has been agreed for the inaugural competition in 2023, and entries will be restricted to the first 64 entries received.

Entry forms for this event are available from Club Secretaries and can also be downloaded, via the appropriate link on the left of the page, from the Ayrshire Golf Association website.
