The Handicap League, first played for in 1996, is also in a league format but spread over the months of May – August during which each club having two home and two away fixtures which are “reversed” the following season. The fifth and final series of matches are played at one venue on the same day. Those final matches will be played in 2010 on Sunday 22nd August at Forres Golf Club. |
