Yorkshire golf - club news: Halifax West End record taken to a new low

Ewan Bromley drives in as Wakefield GC junior captain.

The Golden Texas Scramble signalled the start of the season at the club and the popular event attracted a field of more than 130 players in teams of four.

Despite the poor recent weather conditions, the course played extremely well as the exceptionally low scoring underlined.

John Healy, Tony Morris, Mark Denham and Mark Rozsa returned the fantastic score of 48.8, eclipsing the previous record of 49.6 set a few weeks earlier.

Heidi Biggs triumphed in Division One of the Lady Captain's Cup at West Bradford GC.

The club were proud to present three more members with their 50 years continuous membership mementoes. The trio concerned were Roger Depledge, Alex Whyte and Michael Berry.
