Boys Amateur Championship

For the first time in its history the Championship will be staged at two venues Kilmarnock (Barassie) and Dundonald Links

The Boys Home Internationals began life in 1923 as a match between the boys teams of England and Scotland, played on the day before the Boys Amateur Championship. In 1972, a match between Ireland and Wales was added. And since 1996, the internationals have been played as a round robin event between the four countries over three days.

The championship will be played from the 10 – 15 August 2010 - last years champion was Tom Lewis (England)

Kilmarnock (Barassie) will once again add to its fine championship pedigree when it acts as the main host for the 2010 Boys Amateur Championship. Since starting its long association with R&A championships in 1948, when it welcomed the Boys Amateur for the first time, Barassie has staged five Boys Home Internationals, two Jacques Leglise Trophy matches, stroke play qualifying for the 2001 Amateur Championship and a further four Boys Amateurs – not to mention having previously acted as a final qualifying venue when The Open has arrived at Royal Troon or Turnberry.
