It has come in the shape of welcome sponsorship from the Braid Hills Golf Centre and North Berwick-based Golf Finance.

The popular team tournament was first held in 1890 and has taken place every year apart from during the First and Second World Wars, and then for two years during the Covid pandemic.

"The Dispatch Trophy is one of the most historic events in Scottish golf and its double foursome format on the Braids always makes for an exciting week," said Ian Young, part of the Braid Hills Golf Centre team.
