COVID-19: GUI events postponed or cancelled

The 2020 West of Ireland Amateur Open is one of many events postponed

All GUI championship and inter-club competitions that were due to commence between now and the end of May are indefinitely postponed, with the exception of underage boys championships that were due to be held at Easter (these will not be rescheduled and are therefore cancelled).  

The R&A 9 Hole Championship is cancelled.

The calendar for the remainder of the season is under review as the COVID-19 crisis develops, and decisions will be made on whether to reschedule or cancel events listed as postponed when the picture ahead is clearer. In doing so, the Union and Provincial Branches will place an emphasis on having an appropriate balance of underage, men’s, mid-amateur and seniors championship golf where possible in whatever time remains of the season.
