The Handicap Stroke Play Championship was played for the first time in 2018. The tournament was introduced in response to feedback we got from our clubs that we do not do enough for the middle and higher range players. The event was run as an 18 hole stroke play tournament over Kingsknowe Golf Club in Edinburgh with an overall prize for the best nett score and also vouchers for the leading nett scores in 3 handicap ranges running from 6 to 28.
