The Hopwood & Lathom Classic

A 72-hole World Amateur Golf Ranking Scratch Strokeplay event hosted by Manchester Golf Club in conjunction with Ormskirk Golf Club, played from the blue tees across two outstanding courses over consecutive Sundays in June 2026. Open to full members (aged 18 or over) of recognised golf clubs with a World Handicap Index (WHI) of 4.5 or less. Entries are balloted to a maximum of 66 competitors, with allocation by handicap in the event of oversubscription. The entry fee is £140 for non-members (£60 for members of Manchester Golf Club or Ormskirk Golf Club). Players may also enter either the companion 36-hole Hulbert Trophy (at Manchester GC) or Lathom Eagle (at Ormskirk GC) for £75 (£35 for members), though entrants to both events are prioritised in any ballot. The entry deadline is Sunday 31 May 2026. Entry fees are non-refundable unless withdrawal is notified to the General Manager before Thursday 4 June 2026. Tee times are allocated by handicap and communicated by email in advance. Any change in playing handicap between entry and competition day must be declared to the Committee on the day, under penalty of disqualification. Prize winners must hold an active handicap and no competitor may receive more than one prize. All prize winners are expected to attend the Prize Presentation, held shortly after the return of final scorecards. Competitors are made temporary members on the day and must comply with the Club's Dress Code. In the event of a tie, the rules of the Lancashire Union of Golf Clubs apply. All disputes are settled by the Competition Committee, whose decision is final.
