SCOTTISH JUNIOR PAR 3 CHAMPIONSHIP IS POSTPONED

The 2020 Scottish Junior Par 3 Championship, which was due to be played this weekend, has been postponed until 2021 due to flood damage.
The Paul Lawrie Foundation issued the following statement today:

"We are sorry to inform you that the Scottish Junior Par 3 Championship, scheduled for the 17 & 18 October, is postponed due to damage to The Devenick Course at Paul Lawrie Golf Centre following the severe flooding which affected both the Course & Golf Centre last weekend."

"A full course inspection had not been possible until this morning (Monday 12th October) when the flood water had drained away. Unfortunately, the damage to the course on holes 5 to 9 and remaining debris means that the golf course cannot be restored to an acceptable standard for the competition to take place this coming weekend."

"We will re-schedule the Scottish Junior Par 3 Championship into 2021 with dates to be advised in due course."

"Everyone at the Paul Lawrie Foundation and Paul Lawrie Golf Centre is disappointed not to be able to host the event as planned, particularly since 2020 has already been a tricky year. We had been looking forward to welcoming you all to PLGC for our first staging of the event. We hope to see you in 2021 for what will be a great event!"
