A very successful event for our Captain Chris House who chose York for his week away. Staying at The Grand Hotel in central York we enjoyed some fabulous golf on
some fantastic golf courses. The highlights were Alwoodley (kindly arranged by Stephen & Janet Ledger) where we played almost certainly one of the finest inland golf courses in the UK, and Ganton
(ex-Ryder Cup venue) which was a tough test of golf but an equally fabulous golf course. Although some found the courses tough almost everyone acknowledged that we were privileged to be playing on
such wonderful golf courses with great history surrounding them. The principal winners of the week were as follows: Rupert Ratcliff won at Strensall with a fabulous 43 points, Roger Byrne won at
Alwoodley with an incredible 47 points, John Redden (guest) won at Fulford with 37 points and Duncan Turner won at Ganton with 41 points. Marilyn Campbell won 2 x of the ladies trophies and Janet
Ledger won the other. Martyn & Lois Dewhurst won the mixed pairs and Mark Smith took home the aggregate prize for the best score across the week. A big thank you goes to our Captain Chris House
for a great choice and for his generosity throughout the event. It was also lovely to have a number of non-playing ladies who came along for the week and enjoyed the sites of York during the day
whilst the golfers battled the courses, but they graced the tables at dinner each evening.
The full results can be found on the Results page of the website. Photo's courtesy of James O'Sullivan will follow shortly.
