The sport has changed through the years and we have moved with the times to meet the needs of modern golfers. We have invested 3.5million in our clubhouses at Belleisle, Troon and Girvan, to deliver first-class facilities which perfectly complement the quality of our golf courses. For this year s festival we are introducing new competitions to the showcase Ayr Golf Week to help grow our momentum and appeal to the broadest possible range of golfers. The new Robert Burns Trophy is open to people with higher handicaps and complements the established Tam o Shanter and Handyside tournaments, while the new Gents Greensomes widens the field further still by providing an additional competition format in this year s event. To mark the Scottish Government s Year of Young People 2018, and to help promote golf to a new generation, we have also introduced two new competitions. The Junior Stableford and the Junior Open are open to young people looking to get a taste of competitive golf on our fantastic golf courses. The provision of these new competitions for young people illustrates our commitment to foster and develop up and coming talent. We remain committed to working with our partners and communities to make life better in South Ayrshire and the 2018 Golf Festival plays an important role in actively promoting the area as a must go-to destination as well as championing healthy lifestyles. We look forward to welcoming this year s competitors to enjoy challenging rounds against the backdrop of some of Scotland s most spectacular natural scenery. Councillor Brian McGinley Portfolio Holder for Economic Development, Tourism and Leisure 3
