Hopes for a fully rescheduled elite amateur men’s competitive golfing calendar this summer have been dashed after the Golfing Union of Ireland announced its revised championship season on Tuesday.

Chief among the events that have been cancelled for 2020 are the Flogas Irish Amateur Open and Ireland’s four amateur “majors”, the West, East, North and South of Ireland Championships.
