I have been asked by the SLGA to bring to a few competitions to notice of the Midlothian members. For those of you who are up for a few away days during the summer why not give the following a try?

First up is the County Golf Open Meeting which is being held this year at Duff House Royal Golf Club on Tuesday 17th August. Tee times are available from 10 am until 3 pm and you can either enter individually or with playing partners. The closing date for entry is Monday 26th July and entry forms can be found by clicking here.

Next is the Scottish Ladies’ Foursomes which is being held at Douglas Park Golf Club on Sunday 29th August. This is an 18-hole Stroke Play event and entrants must have a handicap of 35 or less. Players entering this must be members of the same club or section which must be affiliated to the SLGA. The closing date for entry is Monday 2nd August and entry forms can be found by clicking here.

Finally, here’s one for the men as well – the 2010 Scottish Golf Open Amateur Mixed Foursomes being held at Haggs Castle Golf Club on Sunday 12th September. Open to gents or boys with handicaps of 24 and under and ladies or girls with handicaps 36 and under, this, again, is an 18 hole Stroke Play competition, with ladies teeing off at the first hole. The closing date for entry is Monday 16th August and the entry forms can, once again, be found by clicking here.
