The Event

This event started as a stroke play championship in 2018 but was changed to stableford in 2022 to try and encourage more entries. This has not worked with both 2024 and 2025 having to be cancelled. 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. We are still keen to meet that objective and yet another format will be tried in 2026. Details will follow soon.

We are indebted to the McManus family for donating a trophy for the event. Joe McManus, a past captain and champion (12 times) of Uphall GC, is a Lothians stalwart having played for our team and competed in our Championships over many years. Now making a name for himself on the Scottish Seniors amateur circuit he still has time to help out on our Club Services committee where the idea for this event emanated. 

The history of the event and a list of winners can be seen by clicking the 'History' heading at the bottom of the list on the left hand side of this page. All other information relating to the 2026 event will be seen under the Handicap Stableford 2026 heading on the  'Lothians Future Competitions' column at the bottom of the Home Page of this website. This is where all updates will be recorded.
