Scarcroft Report

 

The first outing of the 2025 season took place at Scarcroft Golf Club with a fantastic 25 players taking part. A super full breakfast was served before the golf. I have to say thanks to the club and staff who looked after us.

The weather was kind to us with the sun shining on occasions to make for a pleasant afternoon.

The course was generally in great condition however some of the greens were patchy and bobbly due the prolonged spell of dry weather with cold nights, stopping the grass to grow. Who would have thought we would be needing a bit of rain after all we had 12-14 month an ago!

Oficially this fixture was to play for the Keeble cup but we also saw a return to the Scarcroft vs Railway fixture on the side.
7 players from Scarcroft and 7 railway staff (including a couple of ringers) were joined by a blind draw of the other players to the teams up with the Railway taking the trophy for 2025.

Onto the Keeble cup……..

Nearest  the pins on the par 3’s were won by Wayne Jackson on the 3rd, Dan Penningon on 7, Paul Huddlestone on the 13th and Andrew Robertson was nearest on the 15th.

There were 5 two’s in total with Lee Wetherill taking 2 with a fantastic chip in on 9 and a superb putt from off the green on 15. The other 2’s were by Joe Cooper, Andrew Johnson and  Paul Huddlestone.

In third place with a score of 35 (taking it on the back 6) was Stu Garside. In second with a score of 36 we Lee Wetherill and the winner with a fabulous score of 39 was Dan Pennington.

Thanks to all who attended and your continued support into this season. Here’s hoping all the fixtures are all as well attended.

 

Our next fixture is on Tuesday 13th May at Horsforth Golf Club and all details can be found on the events page. Bookings for this event are now open as it is less than 3 week a from now.
