Wales Golf has postponed the 2021 Ladies Open Strokeplay at Newport until later in the summer when it is hoped the event will be able to go ahead without restrictions.
Newport Golf Club has continued to support this Championship and it will now be played from Friday, September 24 to the Sunday at the same venue.
The original dates of April 30 to May 2 are likely to be constrained due to the ongoing pandemic and the restrictions which are set to remain for the earlier part of the season.
Wales Golf championships manager David Wilson said: “For obvious reasons we believe we will be able to run a better championship for everyone involved later in the summer, while trying to hold it on the original dates would have meant a considerable gamble.
“Wales Golf is very grateful to Newport for kindly agreeing to switch the championship until later in the summer and for their ongoing support elite top level amateur golf.
“We hope to see many of the best lady golfers in Europe playing in Newport in September.”
