Five golf clubs - Elgin, Forres, Moray,Nairn and Nairn Dunbar, who are all clubs within the North District of the Scottish Golf Union, play annually in inter-club match-play competition in both Scratch and Handicap Leagues. Additionally, Hopeman Golf Club have joined the League as an Associate Member and play in the Handicap League.
 |
The Scratch competition,for the prestigious G. R. Thomson Shield and first competed for in 1948, is played over the second weekend in May every year at one of the member club’s courses on the basis of a five year rotation. This year it was hosted by Nairn Dunbar Golf Club from 8th-11th May. |

The Handicap League, first played for in 1996, is again in a league format but spread over the months of June – August during which each club having two home and two away fixtures which are “reversed” the following season. After the success of the past two seasons of playing the fifth and final series of matches at one venue on the same day the same format wwas again adopted this year at Nairn Golf Club on 17th August with just as an exciting conclusion as happened in both 2006 and 2007. |
| All games in both leagues are composed of 8 man teams. The web site is intended to give some history of the League and statistics from matches played over the years but most importantly, to provide a results service of the season’s competitions as they progress. James Macpherson |
