Given the news from England Golf regarding their cancellation of Reid and McGregor Stroke Play Championships Dorset has taken the very difficult decision to cancel the 2020 South England Boys.
The safety and wellbeing of our junior competitors and their accompanying parents/guardians remains of paramount importance and whilst confident the golf element of a championship can be managed there are additional practical difficulties associated with running the even, with parents and guardians necessarily joining competitors, staff and volunteers on site within the confines of a smaller club environment, it becomes difficult to adhere to social distancing regulations.
I am sure like me you are disappointed but these are exceptional times and we hope you will understand and I look forward to hosting the event in 2021.
Thank you for your understanding take care and stay safe.
Ian Hulse
County Secretary.
