Carnegie Shield

On August 11th 2013 the 100th playing of the Carnegie Shield will take place at Royal Dornoch Golf Club.

The shield has been played for annually as an open amateur competition in early August since the inaugural presentation in 1901.  

In 1960, a high handicap section was added, so the week's competition produced 3 winners - Carnegie Shield, Davidson Trophy and the E.C. Fraser Trophy.
