EGA Tournaments – Update #5

Dear Members, Since our previous update of 30 April, has resumed throughout Europe. As lockdown is easing everywhere, freedom of movement is gradually restored and we can now look forward to staging our delayed championship season.

We are greatly encouraged by the most positive response received from so many members who are keen to take part in our team and individual championships.

We are liaising on a weekly basis with our host countries, reviewing the gradual removal of restrictions, which may detrimentally impact the staging of our events, and we are generally monitoring the preparation of our rescheduled championships.

As we are nearing the start of our season, we will continue to provide you with regular updates regarding each championship.

As previously advised, the international matches have sadly been cancelled, as have the European Men's and Ladies' Club Trophies, and the European Men's and Boys' Division 2 Championships.

Please note the following updates to the revised schedule:

1. European Individual Championships The European Young Masters is confirmed for the previously-noted dates of 27-29 August, but has changed venue to Golf Mladá Boleslav, . The European Ladies’ Amateur Championship (originally 22-25 July, Kytäyä GC, ) will now be played from 30 September - 3 October at CUBO Golf (formerly Diners G&CC), Ljubljana, Slovenia 2. European Team Championships The European Boys' Team Championship (originally 7-11 July, Upsala GC, ): 19-22 October, El Saler, . Please Note: The Team Championship (originally 7-11 July): 9-12 September, Hilversumsche GC, Netherlands may be revised because of current restrictions foreseen to continue in the Netherlands, and; The European Senior Men's Team Championship (originally 1-5 September): 1-4 September, Diamond CC, Austria, will hopefully be confirmed very shortly.

Place de la Croix-Blanche 19, CP 110 • 1066 Epalinges, Switzerland • Tel +41 21 785 70 60 www.ega-golf.ch • [email protected]

The reduced formats (and fees) as outlined in EGA Tournament #4 will prevail, including one practice round only, and teams of four instead of six with three of four scores to count over one stroke play qualifying for the match play phase, with all matches comprising one foursome and two singles. 3. Entry Deadlines for Team Championships (and EYM) We are trying to balance the deadline for entries so as to provide Member Federations the longest time possible to decide to participate and to make their player selections, while providing the hosts with the time they need to prepare. While we have been working towards two weeks in advance of the championship, it has been extended to three weeks prior at the general request of hosts. The entry deadlines for the EGA Team Championships: Championship Date to be Played Closing Date for Entries European Men’s and Women’s Team Shield 29 July – 1 August 8 July Championships European Young Masters 27 – 29 August 5 August European Senior Men’s and Senior Ladies’ 1-4 September 11 August Team Championships European Ladies’ Team Championship 9 – 12 September 19 August European Girls’ team Championship 23 – 26 September 2 September European Boys’ Team Championship 19-22 October 28 September European Amateur Team Championship TBC TBC
