2022 Members' Event Results
Am-Am at Hull
Thursday 8th September
Our thanks to those who turned out for our last Members Meeting of the season. This was a replacement for the earlier Meeting originally planned at Boothferry, and we are immensely grateful to Hull GC for accommodating us at such short notice. As usual, Aaron Pheasant and his team looked after us handsomely throughout the day, both in terms of course preparation and looking after our very demanding drinking and catering needs. Due to the short notice, it was incumbent upon us to accommodate a prebooked Ryder Cup style match (including American visitors) during the morning, who made a very unexpected donation to our funds, which is very much appreciated.
Arriving at 7:30, the weather did not bode well, but the early teams set off suitably attired, with umbrellas deployed to get us off to a good start. The Course Manager, Dave Norton, had ensured that all flagsticks had been positioned on the high spots of all greens but, in the event, there was no problem with standing water throughout the day. By late morning the rain had cleared and indeed the rest of the day was played under blue skies and very calm conditions.
Our Registration Desk regular, Steve Thornton, had to defer to his Captain's duties at Flamborough during the morning, and therefore I am immensely grateful to Edward & Eileen Clarke who stepped in and supervised from dawn 'til dusk - their experience of this role for many years previously certainly shone through!
The listing of eventual prize-winners is attached in pdf format below. As this is the last event of the season, would the organiser of each team please let me have their address and I will post the team's prize-vouchers to you.

My thanks also to those 94 Members who completed the short survey questionnaire which we distributed with the score cards. In particular, thank you for the many kind comments regarding the atmosphere at the Members Meetings. The data provided will allow us to add to our notifications listings, and provide some useful views when deciding the format for next season. We will be circulating next season's venues and taking bookings before the end of the year.
As you know, the net income from these events, once we've covered course green-fees, expenses and prize-fund, goes towards supporting the East Riding scratch teams representing our county when competing against the other seven regions which make up the Yorkshire Inter District Union. Additionally, we support an ever-expanding Junior golf programme throughout the county and further afield.
Thank you again for your support.

Am-Am at Beverley & East Riding
Thursday 18th August
Thanks to everyone who turned out yesterday, although the morning rain was a surprise! Considering the near drought conditions over the last 6 weeks or so, I thought the course was in remarkable condition and the Beverley turf (in between cow-pats) always seems to remain relatively soft. It's not easy for our Golf Clubs to feed and water so many of us during such a long day so hats off to all the staff who looked after us so well. Thanks, as usual, to Steve Thornton for manning the Registration Desk from start to finish.
The scoring was relatively high across most of the 45 teams who took part. Attached you'll find a list of the eventual prize winners. Congratulations in particular to our President, John Illingworth, and his team who managed an impressive 91 point leading score.
