The NCLGA is pleased to announce the formation of a Scratch League. There will be two mini-leagues with three 'County' teams in each section. As the new league will also promote training and development, every effort will be made to involve young golfers. However, their involvement will not merely be restricted to playing! The average age of the three team organisers in one of the sections is 17!. As Mairi Orr (Captain) said ...."We feel in the Northern Counties that if young people are given the opportunity to take part in the administrative side of the sport, not only will they feel more 'connected' to the game, but it will also provide them with the opportunity to enhance and develop all important life skills." She continued ... "The new league will not only provide existing team members with the opportunity for additional match play practice, but it will be used as a selection aid for those on the periphery of County Team selection". She concluded ..."By introducing a league with a County Team format, we hope to turn our large geographical spread from a disadvantage into an advantage."
