SCOTTISH GOLF GUIDELINES FOR MONDAY 19th JULY 2021

Following the latest COVID Update from the First Minister, Scottish Golf has been working with our partners at sportscotland and the Scottish Government to receive approval on our latest COVID-19 Guidance ahead of mainland Scotland moving to Protection Level 0 on Monday 19 July 2021.

We have now updated our guidance and all clubs should note the key changes effective from Monday 19 July:

Outdoor bubbles (coaching & competition) up to 500 with no participant limit per day
Locker Rooms/Changing Facilities can re-open
Indoor Hospitality extended to groups of 10 people from 4 households
All golf course furniture may be returned for normal use, including the removal of flagsticks, standard hole cups and bunker rakes
Preferred lies in bunkers may remain in place at club’s discretion, recognising that not every golfer will wish to use a communal rake

Ahead of implementing these changes, we would recommend that clubs carry out a risk assessment that is specific to the situation at their club.

While this latest update is a further step forward in the return to golf and its traditions as we know it, until such time as restrictions are lifted fully we would urge everyone to continue to risk assess for their specific environment and respect differing perspectives in relation to risk will still be evident across the wide range of golfers in Scotland.

We know that today’s update will have a positive impact on all affiliated clubs and their members, and on behalf of everyone at Scottish Golf, we would like to thank you for your continued patience and strict adherence to the restrictions that have been in place.

Keep up to date on the latest COVID-19 Updates from Scottish Golf here.

Kind regards,
Scottish Golf

SCOTLAND FINISH 4TH IN THE EUROPEAN WOMENS TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP

The Sottish Team

Lorna McClymont and Susan Wood

England’s women combined teamwork with individual brilliance to record a stunning 5-2 win against Sweden in yesterday's final of the European Ladies’ Team Championships at Royal County Down

The triumph is England’s 11th in the event’s 62-year history

Scotland lost to Italy in the 3rd and 4th place play offs - no report

Following Report From the English website for the semi finals and Finals go to - THE ENGLISH GOLF WEBSITE

The semi-final match-up with Scotland looked like being a classic – and didn’t disappoint.

Scotland qualified for the knockout phase as top seeds with Women’s Amateur Champion Louise Duncan, Scottish champion Chloe Goadby and Hannah Darling stalwarts of their line-up.

Scotland were quick out the traps to win both morning foursomes.

But while England were down, the team was far from out.

Toy once again led by example in the first singles game to down Darling by 3&1. In fact, she ended the week undefeated in singles.

The Cornish golfer must love the links at Royal County Down – this was also the scene for her victory in the Women’s Amateur Championship in 2019.

McGinty recorded the same winning margin against Goadby before the match came down to two clutch encounters.

Fuller holed putt after putt on the back nine to keep her match with Hazel McGarvie all square. With the game tied after 18 holes, Fuller eventually closed out the win on the 19th hole.

Belsham also showed typical grit to battle back from two down to defeat Shannon McWilliam by one hole and take England into the final.

Many congratulations go to Scotland on a fantastic week -- Top Qualifiers and reaching the semi finals against England plus Hannah Darling being the leading individual score in the qualifying rounds.

Team: Hannah Darling (Broomieknowe) Hazel MacGarvie (Royal Troon) Shannon McWilliam (Aboyne) Chloe Goadby (St Regulus) Louise Duncan (West Kilbride) Lorna McClymont (Milngavie) - Team Captain Susan Wood

Final : England beat Sweden 5 -2

3rd and 4th play off: Italy beat Scotland 5.5 - 1.5

Scotland's Hannah Darling was again the star of the day at Royal County Down. The Scottish player followed up her Round 1 68 (-5) with a 69 (-4) to claim the honour of lowest individual scorer.

Darling's -9 total was three strokes lower than the next lowest player after two rounds. Her impressive play helped team Scotland finish top of the stroke play qualifying leaderboard and earn the top seed for the Flight A match play bracket.

Hazel MacGarvie (Royal Troon ) finished tied in 7th position

Ireland earned the second-seed with a total score of +18. Third to sixth positions, claimed by Sweden (+19), Czech Republic (+19), England (+20) and Denmark (+21), were seperated by just two strokes.

Italy (+27) and Spain (+29) will complete the Flight A match play bracket.
