This new 54-hole event has been approved by the R&A for the awarding of World Amateur Golf Ranking points. And it takes place in the run up to the prestigious St Rule Trophy to be contested over the New and Old Courses in St Andrews the ensuing weekend. So there's every reason to believe that it will attract a strong field of some of the UK's best women amateur players. Scan the QR code on the graphic for entry details.

Hannah Darling has accepted an invitation to make her fourth appearance in the Augusta National Women’s Amateur in April.
The Broomieknowe member will be flying the Saltire on her own in the Augusta National Golf Club-run event for the third year running after being joined for her debut in 2022 by Louise Duncan.
Darling tied for 27th in that first appearance then missed the cut the following year before producing her best effort so far when finishing seventh last year.
On this occasion, the University of South Carolina player will be among just three players from Great Britain & Ireland in the field as she joins English duo Patience Rhodes and Lottie Woad.
Woad, of course, is the defending champion after becoming the first European player to claim the coveted crown last April, when she came out on top by a shot from American Bailey Shoemaker.
Darling has recorded three top-five finishes on the US college circuit this season, including a win in the Annika Intercollegiate in September.
That triumph came hot on the heels of the Scottish No 1 helping Great Britain & Ireland pull off a stunning win over the US in the Curtis Cup at Sunningdale.
Playing in her third Curtis Cup, Darling was the only member of captain Catriona Matthew's team with previous experience in the biennial bout.
A total of 65 players have thus far accepted invitations, with Tsubasa Kajitani and Anna Davis, the winners in 2021 and 2022 respectively also set to be in the field.
Taking place the week prior to the 89th Masters, the first two rounds will be played at Champions Retreat Golf Club on 2-3 April before the top 30 and ties then progress to the final round at Augusta National on 5 April.
On this six week course, you’ll learn the basic skills of playing golf like putting, chipping and driving the ball.
With the guidance of our PGA golf professional, Jason, you’ll go from complete beginner to hitting balls on the golf course in a matter of weeks, with a lot of fun and laughs along the way!
You’re not going to be alone! You’ll be learning in a group of like-minded women, who are all willing to learn, keen to have fun and can support each other through the journey.
