Charity Golf Tournament at Ilkley Golf Club

Wed, Jun 17th 2026 at 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm

We ran our Charity Golf Tournament at Ilkley Golf Club for the 34th year. Funds raised to date now stand at over £200,000 which over the years has benefitted many local charities.

Ilkley Golf Club

Once again, we were lucky with the weather - dry and hot but with occasional gusty wind. Despite this the scores were average for recent tournaments. As in previous years the format was Teams of four players. The competition was played in the Stableford format off a full valid club handicap adjusted for Slope. The two best scores per hole counted on the first nine holes, the three best scores on the next six holes and all four scores on the last three holes.

Other than the outright winner the top scores were all bunched together in the mid 90's up to 101. In order to separate the first and second place teams a count of the scores on the back 9 was undertaken and the ensuing result was: -

Place Team Score
1    Watson Batty 102 and 62 on the back 9
2    Alastair Bateman's Team    102 and 61 on the back 9          
3    Zenith International 101 
  Nearest the Pin   Steve Douglas of Meredith's Marvels   2.6 Metres from the pin  
  Straightest Drive    Arthur Ramsey   On the 11th - 50cm from the rope

 

Raffle prizes went to Richard Merrill, Peter Olney, Barry Smith, John Watson, Tariq Javaid and S Armitage.
