SVLGA Blairgowrie 2020 - News


Whilst Coronavirus is dominating all of our thinking at present, it is difficult to consider what life will hold in 6 months' time. However, we hope that the worst will be passed by September and we will be able to go ahead with our Blairgowrie event as planned. so, we are planning as normal, and are now asking each Division to co-ordinate entries for this year.

The Patrick Rosebowl (played over Rosemount) - singles - Monday 21st September 2020
The Beddows Quaich (played over Lansdowne) - greensomes - Tuesday 22nd September 2020

East Vets has been allocated 8 spaces for Blairgowrie 2020 so a ballot will take place if applications exceed our allocated spaces. The number of entries/spaces are for a partnership, so 8 spaces means 8 couples or 16 ladies.  (Note: We have been lucky enough to acquire more places in previous years where other divisions have not used their whole allocation but that is not guaranteed).

Those interested in applying should download an application form which can be found on the FORMS Tab :

eastvets.blogspot.com

Send the completed application form to:   esvlgasecretary@gmail.com no later than Friday 17th April. 

The cost of the entry is £124 per couple for the full event.  The SVLGA are not asking for payment of entry fees at this time.


FORM COMPLETION - Tee times for both competitions: SVLGA has asked those applying to please vary their choice of tee times as they do receive numerous requests for a start time of between 10.00 - 12.00.

Coronavirus - Impact on Fixtures for 2020


In light of the latest updates concerning the Coronavirus and the government recommendations we have had to make the following decisions:

1. The Spring Meeting scheduled for 6th April at Dunbar GC has been cancelled. We are conscious that we have collected entry monies for this competition which with your approval and co-operation, we will retain to go towards the entry fee for the Summer Meeting. If this situation changes then we would obviously put in place a process to provide refunds.

2. The Ramsden Cup and Friendship Foursomes have been cancelled.

3. Cross divisional matches scheduled to take place over the next 2 months have been cancelled.

4. The British Seniors match scheduled for 19th May at Elie GC has also been cancelled.

We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates on other fixtures. Obviously, we are all extremely disappointed but agree that this is in the best interests of our members.

Please keep safe and try to enjoy some of this good weather!

The Committee
