Toni Ffinch, senior events manager at Scottish Golf, said: “As always, we’re hugely indebted to all our host clubs and the small army of volunteers who help us stage events for men, women and juniors. “It will be hard to top the excitement and drama of 2024, but we’ll give it a good go! “In Scotland we’re blessed to have great links courses that are the envy of the world. “The fact that we can host some of our flagship amateur championships in 2025 at courses such as North Berwick, Gullane, Royal Troon, Western Gailes and Montrose is terrific. “We also pride ourselves in the popularity of our events for regular club handicap golfers. It is hugely important to us that we provide more opportunities for more golfers and showcase the game as a welcoming, accessible sport for all. “For example, the Scottish Open Series, which invites entries from Scottish club or OpenPlay members with a registered WHS™ Handicap Index®, continues to go from strength to strength. “This year we’re on the ‘Road to Turnberry’. “Golfers can play in one or more of the six events being held around the country at some top-class courses with the added incentive of qualifying for a trip to the Finals in Turnberry. “The Scottish Open for Golfers with a Disability was a highlight of last season with Australia’s Wayne Perske a deserving first winner and we can’t wait to work with our new title sponsor PING on the second edition of this championship. “We have new clubs on board hosting our events, new champions to crown and the Scottish Golf events team look forward to welcoming back old friends and meeting the next generation of golfers at all our championships.” Learn more about the 2025 National Events http://www.scottishgolf.org |
