The sun shone on the final ladies event of the winter at Heworth GC,  but the course (as per usual) proved to be a very tough test as only one of 12 pairs managed to beat par in a betterball event. 

Julie Smith and Lucy Astle from Tadcaster GC played well for 36 points and will be rueing their blob on the 5th - however they came in 2nd place and took home some prize money.  Claire Fletcher played the round of the day - making a strong start with partner Elaine Arnott, 3 under after 4 holes including a 2 on the 2nd.  They gave the shots back through the middle of the round - but a strong finish (3 under in the last 5 holes) ensured a comfortable win for the Kirkbymoorside pair.  

An excellent day, made better by the weather and they excellent hosting by Heworth GC - with the ever dependable Eddie Travis on starter duties and Nicky behind the bar ensuring people were fed and watered.

Cross Trophy Competition Entry Rules Clarifications

 Following a number of recent queries would members please note :

·       to play in any YU Competition you must be a playing member of an affiliated YU Club

·       members with dual Club membership are permitted to play in the Cross Trophy providing they satisfy the above conditions and the Terms of Competition which can be found on the website. 

FOOTNOTE

The results at Malton & Norton (understandably) led to some queries.  In relation to the winners (well played Andy / Daniel) - they are both members of - and were representing Tadcaster Golf Club.  Both are members of other clubs (in this case Sand Moor and Leeds Golf Centre). Intelligent Golf (the system we use to run competitions) links directly to the WHS system - and the WHS system recognises and displays the primary membership club. 

There was another pair who appeared to play for different clubs (Tadcaster / Selby) - but again both are members of Tadcaster Golf Club. 

Finally - there was an exceptional case on Sunday where an accident caused a late problem and a player was advised (in good faith) he was eligible to play with a player from another club to compete for prize vouchers but not Cross Trophy points. This has been clarified in the Terms of Competition - so in the unlikely event this situation arises again the scores will be null and void.
