Kintore and Westhill not fielding teams in Aberdeen

and District Junior Pennant League this season

The Aberdeen & District Junior Pennant Golf League, sponsored by Kings Links Golf Centre, will not have teams from Kintore or Westhill competing in the new season but Inverallochy are playing.
The previous match-day format of six ties featuring 12 boys (or girls) competing in four-ball, better-ball pairs off scratch is being changed to threee scratch matches and three handicap matches.
League secretary Gordon Murray, vice-president of the Scottish Golf Union, explains:"The change is to stop younger team members getting thrashed in a scratch game.
"The first three pairs will play off scratch and the next three play off handicap with the lower handicap players giving strokes accordingly to players with higher handicaps."
Teams in the League's Section B will have one fewer game due to Kintore's withdrawal.
The sectional ties begin on Sunday, April 11. The section winners will contest the semi-finals at neutral venues on Sunday June 13. The final will be played over Newmachar Swailend on Sunday, June 20.
