Scottish amateur championship

NEWS RELEASE FROM THE SCOTTISH GOLF UNION
A reminder to competitors that this Thursday 25 June is the closing date for entries to the 2009 Allied Surveyors Scottish Amateur Championship at Royal Troon, which takes place 27 July – 1 August.
Entrance fee for the event is £62, which includes a practice round on the eve of the championship, whilst the maximum handicap is 3.4 at the time of entry.
To be eligible for the championship, players must have either been born in Scotland, have Scottish parentage, have been in permanent residency in Scotland for not less than five years and not have played international golf or competed in a closed championship for any other country than Scotland.
The Allied Surveyors Scottish Amateur Championship has a starting field of 256 players taking part in knock-out match play golf, with the opening round taking place on Monday and Tuesday and a 36-hole final on the Saturday.
Last year’s event was won by Callum Macaulay from Tulliallan, who went on to play in Scotland’s winning Eisenhower Trophy team before earning his full European Tour card and turning professional in November.
Other previous winners include Ryder Cup captain Colin Montgomerie (1985), European Tour star Stephen Gallacher (1992) and current Walker Cup captain Colin Dalgliesh (1981).
This will be the sixth time Royal Troon has hosted the Championship, the last of which was back in 1977. Carnoustie staged the 2008 event, whilst Gullane No 1 is the venue for next year’s Allied Surveyors Scottish Amateur Championship.
