4 birdies helped Iain Charlton (Malton & Norton) to the Seniors Championship - just pipping Ian Norman (Fulford) on countback after a stunning 25 points on the F9 for Ian, unfortunately he couldn't quite maintain the momentum with a costly blob on the par 13th meaning he just missed out.  Mark Hoal (Malton & Norton) made 8 pars and just 3 double bogeys in a remarkably consistent round to end the day with the highest score and the Reed Trophy- backing up his win in the Summer am-am just 10 days ago !  Impressive form. 

The Pick Trophy winner will be announced in due course (with all other prize winners and placings) once I have obtained the scorecards...

Well played everyone and huge thanks Sue Proctor and Nick Marchant at Forest of Galtres for their hosting and support on the day - as well as Rhoda on catering, the Greens teams and starters !  Good 

 

Hebdon and Steel storm to Aldwark triumph

Saturday 19th July 2025

A stunning score of 49 points saw Angela Hebdon and Caroline Steel win the Ladies Aldwark Trophy by 4 points from Debra Mackie and Lynn Pearson.

The winning put in a great display, finishing 13 under with no dropped shots and no double bogeys - ensuring they finished well clear of the field. 

A good week for Debra Mackie (picking up her second prize voucher of the week) alongside Lynn Pearson with 45 points. 

Mabes Embleton and Jane James were a further point back on 44 just beating Karen Hornby and Val Chapman from Pike Hills on a back 6 countback.  Special mention to Karen - who finished very strongly with 7 pars in the last 8 holes !  

With special thanks to both Paul Jordan-Worrall and Jane James for their support, both in advance and on the day.

 

Malton & Norton dominate prizes at Summer am-am 3

Saturday 19th July 2025

4 of the 5 prize winners come from Malton & Norton with Johnson, Simpson, Barron and Hoal claiming a stunning 5 point victory !

The winning team made 1 birdie, 25 pars and crucially no double bogeys to blow away the rest of the field with 93 points.  The experienced team of Pat and Alan Hague, Pat and Eddie Ruddock (88 points) claimed second place from Laws, Leng, Parkin and Spittlehouse who made an explosive start (12 under after 6) but couldn't maintain the pace to miss out on countback.  Andrew  Mackie, Wayne Pagdin, Steve Johnson (Forest Park) alongside Debra Mackie (Easingwold) ensured M&N didn't win all the prizes with 87 points - although Wendy Jackson, Chris Oldfield, Janet Rushworth and Joanne Farrow (Malton & Norton) claimed the fifth and final prize.

A great day, a really big field and huge thanks to all the starters and scorers and all at York for their support on the day.
