AGM Trophy Report

A slightly disappointing turnout of just 13 turned out for the AGM Trophy at Shipley Northcliffe. After discussions with several members it appears the problem could be that the location is hard to get to because of the rush hour. It is proposed we hold the AGM trophy at Low Laithes or similar, a course which is easier to get to without the need for travelling across a city centre.

Thanks to the club for their hospitality. The course was presented superbly despite the dry weather of recent weeks. We played a warm up 9 holes in the morning before the AGM at lunchtime. The sunny afternoon saw us play the full 18 holes for the trophy.

It has to be mentioned (sorry Nick) that despite an unbelievable score of 25 for the 9 holes, Nick McEvoy peaked too soon and scored just 26 in the afternoon 18 hole competition.

John Goundry sadly retired injured. Hope all is well John and your back to full fitness soon.

The PAR 3 nearest the pins were won by John Kay – hole 4, Nick McEvoy on holes 8 & 18 and Ian Dyson won on the 12th. Ian also took the captains prize, nearest in 2, on hole 1.

The 2’s club was visited by Aidy Hope and Pete Ferris.

As there was only 13 players, it meant the we could only pay out for the first 2 places. In second place with a score of 35 was Alan Ashbee losing out narrowly on a count back to the winner of the 2022 AGM Trophy which was Aidy Hope.

Well done to all who won on the day.

This draws the 2022 season to a close and I want to thank everyone for their support and attendance through the season. I’m already looking forward to 2023 and will get on arranging the fixtures shortly.
