LANCS ASSOCIATIONS GENERAL RULES / REGISTRATIONS / MATCHES
These team events started in 2018 to replace the L.U.G.C. Scratch League Team Events in order to introduce a preferred playing field by utilising NETT SCORES in lieu of GROSS SCORES due to the large variances between our association's playing qualities.
The events are open to both Girls and Boys under the age of 18 on the 1st January of the current year.
In 2018 the L.A. JUNIOR TEAM TROPHY was introduced to be played on alternative 18 Hole courses throughout Lancashire Associations members clubs. - This was orginally sponsored by a private individual of B.D.G.A, who purchased the Team Trophy and prize fund.
In 2023 the Lancashire Union of Golf Clubs became the main sponsor for the Team Trophy.
The L.A. JUNIOR TEAM TROPHY MATCH will comprise of 6 Team Players per Organisation , to play against all other association teams for an overall team prize plus individual Nett & Gross prizes. - There will be a limiting handicap set by the association committee.
E.L.G.A. JUNIORS can also compete in the L.A.NORTHERN CHAMPIONSHIP that includes EAST LANCS, NORTH LANCS & FYLDE ASSOCIATIONS. that may well be used as a qualifier for the TEAM TROPHY EVENT.
