Lothians Matches

Following the re-organisation of the Scottish Mens Area Team Championships in 2022, the competition has moved away from a one weekend event with qualifying now reverted to four Round Robin Groupings.  In 2026 Lothians will play Glasgow at home on 3rd May and be entertained by Ayrshire on 7th June and by Lanarkshire on the 12th July. The venues will be published as soon as they are known. The leading teams from each of the groups move forward to a finals weekend which in 2026 will be at ARGS ON 5th/6th September.

In addition to the SATC, the Lothians undertake a number of representative matches against other Area Associations throughout the year. The team is normally made up of eight players selected by the Team Manager from Clubs across the whole of the Lothians.

The match is normally four foursome matches in the morning followed by eight singles matches in the afternoon with a point given for a win and a half point for an all square match after 18 holes.

Matches have been played against Northumberland, Stirlingshire, Borders, Renfrewshire, Fife and Angus in the past but are now limited to Northumberland and the Scottish Area Team Tournament qualifying matches. The Northumberland match will be played at Dunstanburgh Castle on the 19th April.
