Pontefract & District G.C.

You know it’s getting towards the end of the season when the elderberries are fully ripened, as we saw at Pontefract on a cool & windy day where 18 of the section turned out to play for the Keeble cup. We also had Arthur Ramsey join us as a guest. Welcome Arthur, hope to see you in the future.

Despite the wind blowing unusually from the East, this showed little concern to the field where the average was the highest we have seen this season at 33 Stableford points.

Before I report on the prizes, I would like to place on record our thanks and appreciation to Malcom & the rest of Pontefract & District golf club who once again offered a warm welcome with a superb bacon sandwich with tomato’s and mushrooms if you desired. They always raise the bar with the hospitality.

So onto the prizes…..

Nearest the pins were won by the following…..

Lee wetherill on the 3rd, Luke Wirrolow on the 7th, Ian Dyson on the 14th & Phil Firth on the 17th.

The 2’s were taken by Phil Firth & James Pickersgill.

For the Keeble cup…..

3rd was James pickersgil with a score of 37.

2nd, also with 37 but taking it on the count back was Phil Firth.

The winner of the 2024 Keeble Cup with an amazing score of 39 was Billy Milne.

Well done all and thanks everyone for your continued support of the society.

Our next and final fixture of the season is the AGM Trophy. This will once again be played at Low Laithes.
