Round 2
•   Groups will be redrawn for the second round with a rolling start in place.

The course will be Open from 9am on Saturday 18th June, and since the hosting of the BMGA British Matchplay Championships last year there have been a number of changes to some of the holes at the course:
•   A loop-the-loop has been added to Hole 5
•   Hole 12 now has two new rocks and a new ‘ace line’
•   The rock on Hole 15 has now moved to make the tee-shot harder
