The statement issued by Scottish Golf reads as follows:

"Following the latest COVID Update from the First Minister, Scottish Golf has been working with our partners at sportscotland and the Scottish Government to receive approval on our latest COVID-19 Guidance ahead of mainland Scotland moving to Protection Level 0 on Monday 19 July 2021."

"We have now updated our guidance and all clubs should note the key changes effective from Monday 19 July:"

• "Outdoor bubbles (coaching & competition) up to 500 with no participant limit per day "Locker Rooms/Changing Facilities can re-open"
• "Indoor Hospitality extended to groups of 10 people from 4 households"
• "All golf course furniture may be returned for normal use, including the removal of flagsticks, standard hole cups and bunker rakes"
• "Preferred lies in bunkers may remain in place at club’s discretion, recognising that not every golfer will wish to use a communal rake"

"Ahead of implementing these changes, we would recommend that clubs carry out a risk assessment that is specific to the situation at their club."

"While this latest update is a further step forward in the return to golf and its traditions as we know it, until such time as restrictions are lifted fully we would urge everyone to continue to risk assess for their specific environment and respect differing perspectives in relation to risk will still be evident across the wide range of golfers in Scotland."

KIRSTEN RUDGELEY WINS THE SCOTTISH WOMEN'S OPEN

Kirsten Rudgeley shot a closing six-under-par 66 to storm through the field and win the Helen Holm Scottish Women’s Open title at Troon today.

Kirsten Rudgeley, from Perth, Western Australia, started her final round on Royal Troon's Portland Course four shots adrift of the overnight leader, Scotland's Hannah Darling.

A final birdie on the 18th saw the Australian complete a bogey-free, six-under-par 66 and finish with a twelve-under-par total of 204, which was enough to claim a one shot victory over both Scotland's Hannah Darling and the 2019 Women’s Amateur champion, England's Emily Toy.

It is 19 years since a Scot, Heather Stirling, lifted the Helen Holm trophy.

Megan Ashley (Blairgowrie) shot a final round of 75 to finish T23 on 131.

HELEN HOLM SCOTTISH WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP DAY 2

Scotland’s Hannah Darling leads by one over compatriot Chloe Goadby heading into the final round of the 2021 Helen Holm Scottish Women’s Open.

17-year-old Darling carded a second successive five-under-par 67 to finish the second day on a ten under par total of 134. While this year's Scottish Women’s Amateur champion, Goadby, birdied the last to post her own 67 and go into the final round a shot behind on 135.

The two Scots will go out in the last group for the final round. Breathing down their necks will be the 2019 Women’s Amateur champion, Emily Toy, and the 2020 Australian Women Amateur champion, Charlotte Heath, who both finished their first two rounds with an eight-under-par total of 136.

The cut fell at eleven-over-par total of 155 with the top 60 players progressing to the final round today. They will include our 2021 Ladies' County champion, Megan Ashley (Blairgowrie), who followed up a first round of 72 with a 74 to tie for 17th place on a two-over-par total of 146.

Unfortunately, her P&K County Team mates, Emily Aird (Blairgowrie), Katy Alexander (Blairgowrie) and Kirsty Brodie (Alyth), all missed the cut.
