York Union News

As some of you may know, last week we had four members from the club in the last four of the York union match play knock out competition with Tom George Jnr and Matt Hull representing us in the scratch semi-finals and Dave Spofforth and Tom George Senior Representing us in the Handicap Semi-Finals.

Firstly, the scratch match play semi-finals saw both York members against each other with a competitive game held around Forest of Galtres saw Tom George Jnr win 2 & 1, just to get the better of Matt to proceed to the final. In the final Tom played Marcus Brigham from Malton and Norton and again he successfully won 2 & 1 to win the Wilkinson Trophy. The pro shop would like to congratulate Tom and Matt for their achievements over this season and it’s great to see them competing well.

Finally, the handicap match play semi-finals saw the York members in different sides of the draw, unfortunately, Tom George Senior didn’t progress through his semi-final but congratulations on reaching the final four and great achievement well done Tom.

In the other semi-final, Dave Spofforth was successful winning 2 & 1 against Rick Hewitt from Fulford. In the final Dave played Peter Kolton from Forest of Galtres. But even though Dave was playing a member around their own course he prevailed again winning 2 & 1, well done to Dave winning Pike Hills Cup.
