In our update issued on Friday 13 March, we took the decision to cancel a number of our National Championships in April and we will continue to monitor our events calendar on an ongoing basis as matters develop.
In addition to these events, and given this evening’s update from the UK Government, we have taken the decision to cancel all non-essential face-to-face meetings involving Scottish Golf staff. This cancellation will be effective from this evening until end of April. This will be reviewed on an ongoing basis and where we are able to, we will look at ways to communicate using technology.
Following last nights UK Government briefing, we are being encouraged to work from home where we can. Scottish Golf intends to implement this for all of our staff as soon as possible and is in line with our disaster recovery plans. If you need to get in touch with a member of the Scottish Golf team, we would encourage you to fill out our Contact Us form here and we will be in touch.
We are aware of clubs looking to put in place specific changes to their business operations as part of their response to COVID-19. In this regard, we would welcome clubs to share their best practice with Scottish Golf which will allow us to share it with the wider golfing community in Scotland.

To support everyone during this period, we have set up a new designated area on the Scottish Golf website to ensure updates are clear and accessible to all. Click here to access all of our COVID-19 updates.
