With the news of a 5-1 defeat for Scarcroft filtering through it was confirmed that Mid Yorkshire Golf Club were Champions claiming the only promotion place available due to a league restructure.

Rabbit`s Captain
I would like to thank everyone who attended my Rabbits
Captain away day,we were fortunate enough to have wall to wall sunshine which
made for a great day. The morning started with a nine hole Texas Scramble won
by Steve Fluen and Les Baldwin,runners-up Steve Price and Mike Dearden with the
par 3 nearest pin going to Richard Parkin.
>After lunch we played an 18 hole Stableford
competition looking for the captains away day champion, knowing from the
morning that the course was playing hard we weren't sure what scores would be
posted. As the round unfolded it looked as if the prize could be going to one
of my playing partners Kelvin Wilkins,if only he could manage to score on
consecutive holes rather than birdie - n/r - birdie - n/r etc., but he managed
get his act together on the back 9 scoring 19 and a total of 32 for the round,
would it be enough???. As the groups started coming in with scores of
23-24-24-22-28 etc it was looking good for Kelvin,then came the news he didn't
really want to hear,Brian Goose had returned a 33. All those missed scores
Kelvin cost you. Well done Brian, this years champion. Prizes also won in the
afternoon were 3x nearest pin Steve Price, Billy Singh and Brenda Aspin,
longest drive Steve Fluen and the Secret Six went to Brian Goose.
Finally I would to thank the three ladies who also
attended,Brenda ,Denise and Maureen, I hope you all enjoyed the day it was
lovely to see you.

Scratch Team News
Our Scratch Team currently sit 2nd in the league after two
more good results.
Last week they played Headingley at home winning 6-0. Out
first, Darren Greene won 7&6 then both Jason Newton and Richard Flowitt
managed to turn around their matches from 1 down with 4 to play to a 1 up
victory for both.
On Monday this week it was an away game at Leeds Golf Club
earning a creditable 3-3 draw. Darren repeated his 7&6 victory from the
previous week, Richard was defeated and Jason earned a creditable half against Leeds
best player.
On Sunday at 3pm the team travel to Woodthorpe at Wakefield
in the quarter finals of the Knockout Cup. Wakefield currently sit top of
Division 1 where as MYGC are in Dvision 3.
Good luck lads, remember you knocked out Division 1 Pontefract
in the last round !
Scratch Team News
Scratch Team Update
Our Scratch Team squad have continued to perform well over the last few weeks.
After defeating Low Laithes in the first round of the Scratch Knockout Cup they were drawn against the formidable Pontefract Scratch Team who have 2 Yorkshire players in their team. With Darren Greene’s victory and Steven Appleton’s narrow defeat leaving the match at 1-1 it was up to Jason Newton to try and pull off an upset. Playing +2.4 handicapper Andy Wilshire, Jason had taken the lead with a birdie blitz but was pegged back to all square in the fading light. Halves at the 1st and 2nd meant due to darkness the match had to continue at the 3rd a few days later where Jason sealed the deal and sent our Scratch Team through to the 3rd round. Another tough game await’s as they play Wakefield away who currently sit top of Division 1. Good luck lads !!
In the league at Scarcroft, despite taking it to the 18th both Jason and Martyn Clancy couldn’t add to Darren’s earlier victory losing that match 4-2 but this was followed by a 6-0 victory at home to the previously unbeaten Sandmoor with Darren, Martyn and Richard Flowitt victorious.
In the Yorkshire Cup Foursomes Jason and Darren beat the Scratch pair from Wetherby at Pontefract Golf Club to make it to the third round but the following night Darren and Steven were defeated in the Leeds & District Foursomes version at Wetherby GC by Scarcroft.
Once again all the team want to thank the few people who have come up and supported them but welcome everyone else to come up and support on a Monday night through the Summer – fixtures are on the pro-shop door or on the notice board.
"This week juniors played at Wetherby in the league and then the cup.
Unfortunately both games ended with two games lost and only one won.
Anthony Watts won in the first match and Todd Hughes in the second.
Tuesday 21st May see the first of two home games with Moortown the first opponents.
All support is welcomed
Scratch Team News
It has been a good start to the season for our Scratch Team squad of Jason Newton, Darren Greene, Martyn Clancy and Richard Flowitt.
A great knockout cup win against Low Laithes 2-1 set’s up a local derby against the formidable Pontefract scratch team at home in the next round.
Jason and Darren progressed in the Yorkshire Foursomes knockout with a 3 & 1 victory over Easingwold at Moor Allerton last Friday night.
Our Scratch team won promotion last season and started off this year’s campaign away against a strong Wetherby side, the team were bitterly disappointed not to get anything against lower handicappers but showed real promise with 2 matches going to the 18th and the other ending on the 17th.
This promise was fulfilled on Monday of this week with Jason, Darren and Martyn all winning at home against Wooley.
The Scratch Team’s next game is away against Scarcroft next Monday with the next HOME match against Sandmoor on Monday 3rd June.
All the team would like to thank the few people that have come up to support them so far but would love to see more support from the members on the course on a Monday night through the Summer as it really does make a difference.
Junior`s News
" The juniors started their League 3 campaign with an away game against Oulton Hall on Tuesday night. Despite a good performance from Todd Hughes, Luke Beardsmore and William Watts they were beaten on the night and the team unfortunately suffered a 6-0 loss. They are hoping to bounce back next week with another tough away match at Wetherby before back to back home games on the 21st and 28th May....All support welcomed."

despite blustery conditions and greens as hard as rock the three acquitted themselves well in very difficult conditions.
the highlight of the 2 rounds was Darren's third lowest gross in the afternoon round.
Here's the three weary golfers enjoying a pint and a bite to eat before embarking on the second of two rounds.
