Scottish Golf competitions open for entry

Fife will play a significant part in this year’s championships, with events scheduled for Lundin, Aberdour, Balbirnie, Kirkcaldy and St Andrews.

Golfers of all ages and abilities can enter events and play some of the top golf courses in Scotland, which also includes Royal Troon, Murcar Links, and Gullane number 1 and 2.

Scottish Golf has advised that tournament arrangements may change at short notice.

The governing body said: “Scottish Golf is committed to operating events in the safest way possible and in full compliance with the guidance provided by The Scottish Government and sportscotland at the time. As the situation with the COVID-19 pandemic remains fluid and uncertain, arrangements for our events may be subject to change as follows: National Open Events: Decision will be made at the closing date.

"National Closed Events: Decision will be made two weeks before the practice day.

"National Club Events: Decision will be made 1-week before the event start date. Where possible, we will try to offer alternative dates for one-day club events.”

Due to the extreme pressure on tee sheets, lack of alternative dates, potential travel restrictions and self-isolation periods, any multi-day open or closed event that is cancelled will not be re-arranged. Lundin hosts the Scottish Boys' Open Championship between April 7-9.
