Scotland’s Men, Ladies, Boys and Girls squads are set to compete in the European Amateur Championships this week, with each of the events taking place between Tuesday 5 and Saturday 9 July.
The format will comprise a maximum of 20 teams, with 6 players in each.
All players and teams will play two rounds of stroke play; the lowest five scores from the team of six will count to the team score each day. The leading eight teams after Round 2 will progress to the first flight of match play, where matches will consist of two foursomes games in the morning and five singles games in the afternoon whilst in medal contention. The next eight teams after Round 2 will progress to the second flight of match play, where matches will consist of one foursomes game and four singles games. The final four teams after Round 2 will progress to the third flight, where matches will consist of one foursomes game and four singles games.
Speaking ahead of competing, Chloe Goadby of the Ladies team said, ‘It’s an honour to represent Scotland again. I just want to do the best for the country and it’s an exciting time with the team we’ve got.’
Men’s team player Rory Franssen also added, ‘It’s my first time playing at European Men’s so it will be really special. I think everyone wants to play for their country so I’m just buzzing for it.’
Ahead of the European Championships, the squads gathered in St Andrews and Blairgowrie last week with the team coaches and captains. Both days were a valuable opportunity for the teams to work together, have fun and prepare for this week’s competition.
