In previous years, Scottish Golf
have operated Junior Tour events. These were removed from the
Scottish Golf schedule this year, however SGL received awareness that some
Areas and Counties had an appetite for these events to exist, helping provide a
more robust competition structure for young aspiring golfers both male and
female.
Paul Gibson from
The Lothians has taken a lead on trying to establish 4 one day 36 hole events
this year as a starting point. The events will be organised and run
with the help and assistance of Area and County representatives and
volunteers.
Scottish Golf
are supportive of the initiative and these events will be recognised as boys
and girls Order of Merit events. To assist Paul he is looking to have a county
representative to help him with the girls side of the events. The role of
this representative would be the main point of contact for girls and assist
with the organisation of the events.
If anyone from
LLCGA would like to be involved please contact sclayton@scottishgolf.org by
email before 25th February. The first event is planned for April 14th at
Southerness Golf Club.
