Despite a slightly disappointing turnout of only 25 players, those that did attend the meeting had a thoroughly enjoyable day at this excellent club. As always, the staff at the club looked after us exceptionally well, the catering was first class, and the course itself in very good condition.
Scoring in the morning was excellent, with 2/3 of the field returning 30 points or better. In the competition for the Halifax Trophy, Gary Cook and Martin Old were in third and fourth place respectively with 37 points, but Paddy Mournian and Ian Robinson both came in with 40 points. Paddy took the trophy on countback. The leaderboard for the Veterans' Salver had a very similar look, with Martin Old in third and Ian again second on countback to Paddy.
Scoring in the afternoon's Greensomes wasn't quite so spectacular, but everyone was delighted to see Roger Carr and Maggie Warriner win the Johnny Johnson Mosquitoes with a score of 36 points.
We will be returning to York GC for this fixture again in 2026 and it would be great to see a few more players entered for this very enjoyable fixture.
