Craigielaw Golf Club director of golf Derek Scott has completed the list of 14 venues for the inaugural Paul Lawrie Golf Centre Scottish Ladies Open Tour.
The Aberlady, East Lothian course will make up a Lothians double-header with Tour Championship venue Marriott Dalmahoy to ring down the curtain on the PLGC SLOT 2013 season in the autumn week commencing Monday, October 7.

"Well done to you, Nicola and Alan Tait for the work done todate on something so worthwhile," said Derek i(pictured left) in an E-mail this morning.
"Craigielaw would be happy to help and we can accommodate times from 11.30am on the Monday or Tuesday, October 7 or 8."

LATER NEWS:  Confirmed dates:
Monday, October 7: 18 holes at Craigielaw.
Tuesday, October 8: Possible practice day at Marriott Dalmahoy.
Wednesday-Thursday, October 9-10: 36-hole, two-day PLGC SLOT Tour Championship at Marriott Dalmahoy.
 

The Tour Championship will be the only two-day, 36-hole event on the PLGC SLOT calendar. All the rest are 18-hole one-day affairs.
We will be asking competitors throughout the season if they prefer that format, designed to cut accommodation, or whether they would like to see all the events expanded in 2014 to two days over 36 holes with the Tour Championship 54 holes over three days.
Strictly speaking, there is still one PLGC SLOT venue to be named, the one that will form a North-east double-header on May 6-7 with Deeside Golf Club, Aberdeen.
Nicola and I know the venue but our lips are sealed until an official Press Release is made. But you won't be disappointed. It is a links course reckoned to be one of the best new lay-outs in Scotland, even the world!
