SOUL News

The SOUL series restarts after its summer hiatus, with the next events in Perth and Elgin later in September.  Entries are open for both.

The headline news is that we’re now back to thirteen events in the series.  Having lost one event early one due to ‘permissions’, a replacement for it has been recently added.  Accordingly, the series will revert to being being the best seven scores for all senior classes. although the junior classes will remain best six scores.

With six more events to come, including visits to Stirling, Edinburgh, Livingston and Haddington later in the year, none of this year’s champions have been decided.

SOUL Fans – have your say

Finally, it’s apparent that participation numbers are lower at SOUL events this year than in previous years.  I’m sure there’s likely to be a combination of reasons contributing to this, however, it’s been suggested that we have too many events in this year’s series, which is leading to lower numbers attending each of those events.  Should we have fewer events in the 2023 SOUL Series?
