Inter-County Team Matches (now known as Jamboree)
The very first County Match was between Argyllshire and Renfrewshire at Killermont Golf Club on March 31st, 1909. Renfrewshire won 4 - 3.
All County matches had to be played by the 31st October, and the winners of the two divisions met in the County Finals to be held in November.
It is remarkable that 39 matches were arranged in that first year… there was one walk-over… the County Associations had only started in the January and February, and yet they had got themselves and their teams organised, communicated with their opposition and set up and played their fixtures, all within the space of 10 months.
Lanarkshire beat Fife in the County Finals played over Glasgow Gailes on 2nd November 1909, and therefore became the first County to have their names engraved on the Scottish County Challenge Shield, donated by Issette Pearson and the LGU.
In 1987 Renfrewshire won the Inter County West Division Matches which for the first time were in the form of a Jamboree hosted by Ayrshire at Largs Kelburne. The highlight of the year was once again winning the Scottish County Finals at St. Andrews (for the eighth time) after beating East Lothian, Dumfriesshire and Aberdeenshire.
The County Jamboree is held annually on various courses in alphabetic order - Ayrshire, D&A, Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire. In June 2018 Renfrewshire won the West Division Championship and were Runners Up to Aberdeenshire in Scottish Team Championship at Kilmacolm in September 2018.
This year the Jamboree was hosted by Ayrshire at Prestwick Golf Club from 17th - 19th June 2019. Ayrshire were the 2019 winners
