ENTRIES NOW BEING ACCEPTED

The Inaugural 54-hole Scottish Senior International Masters for senior golfers aged 65 and over will take place from 1^st to 3^rd September on the prestigious Gullane No. 2 course on the East Lothian coastline.

This is the first 54-hole senior event for the 65 and over age group in the UK, and the entry fee of £80 includes the 3 rounds of the championship and a practice round. There is no cut after 2 rounds so everyone plays the full 3 rounds of the  championship.

Hopefully the event can take place as planned, however, should there be any Government restrictions due to the pandemic that would impact the event, all competitors would be advised as soon as possible.

Competition & Membership Secretary

The SSGS Covid Sub-Committee met last week to discuss the possibility of holding the above event at Duff House Royal on 6^th & 7^th May, taking into account the restrictions that will be in place at that time.

Unfortunately, we have made  the decision to cancel the event. Whilst travelling may be allowed, there will still be significant restrictions on indoor hospitality affecting clubhouse, restaurants, and bars etc. In addition, entry numbers were significantly lower than normal, which seems to reflect member’s reluctance to travel and stay over at this moment in time.

We appreciate that this decision will be a disappointment to many of you, and you can be assured the decision was not taken lightly.

Any member who has paid their entry fee for this event, will have these funds carried forward for their future use. If, however, you wish a refund please contact me at comps@scottishseniorsgolf.com

The season will therefore commence with the President & Vice Presidents Cup at Ladybank Golf Club on 20^th & 21^st May. Closing date for entries is 20^th April, although late entries will be accepted after that date, provided maximum field of 129 not exceeded at closing date. Further information regarding this event will be published on website, and Facebook in due course.

Here's hoping that from Ladybank onwards our schedule of events will proceed without any more interruptions.

If you have any queries in the meantime, then please get in touch.
