Hoylake and Wallasey to host Boys Amateur Championship in 2013

9th February 2010

The R&A has announced that the hosting of the 2013 Boys Amateur Championship will be shared between Royal Liverpool Golf Club and Wallasey Golf Club.

Royal Liverpool will be the main venue for the 2013 Boys Amateur. The Club has a rich championship history, having hosted The Open 11 times and the Amateur on 17 occasions. Hoylake has also staged four Boys Amateurs, the last in 2003 when former Walker Cup player and European Tour professional Rhys Davies took the title.

Founded in 1891 by members from Royal Liverpool, Wallasey is famous for being the home club of Dr Frank Stableford, the man who devised the stableford scoring system. It was a Local Final Qualifying venue when The Open was staged at Hoylake in 2006, and it played host to stroke play qualifying for the Amateur in 2000.

The Boys Amateur Championship: Royal Liverpool and Wallasey, 13 – 18 August 2013.
