(p) = professional

In 1954 there was an under-18 section which was won by Ronnie Shade.

In 1955 an international match between England and Scotland was arranged the day before the start of the championship, although the match had a lower age limit than that use in the championship itself.[35] Another match was arranged the following year, although the result was decided on holes rather than matches.[36] There was no match in 1957 but it was arranged again in 1958 and 1959.[37][38] From 1960 the event was contested for the Alex Mackay Memorial Trophy.[39]

In 1967 a second match was arranged, between Great Britain & Ireland and the Continent of Europe, later called the EGA Trophy. This was played the day before the start of the championship with the England/Scotland match being played a day earlier.[40] The same system was retained for a number of years while the EGA Trophy match was played before the championship. In 1976 and on a number of occasions from 1980, the EGA Trophy match was not played in connection with the championship, and on those occasions the England/Scotland match was played the day before the championship rather than two days before.
