Annual golf for non golfers - Sawdon Classic

Sawdon Classic Invitational Golf Tournament 29^th July 2020

This prestigious tournament, delayed for a month due to the coronovirus pandemic returned to the ‘Royal’ Snainton Golf Club for the 7th time in succession. In accordance with Government guidelines and Golf England pandemic rules the players were formed into a ‘bubble’ and the usual crowds of spectators were barred from attending.

The prize giving dinner was held at the Coachman Inn where, whilst very properly observing strict social distancing, Jim Martin and his guest sat adjacent to our ‘bubble’. We enjoyed an excellent Turkish Goulash, followed by a choice of ‘school puddings’.

The presentation ceremony was sadly marred when it was reported that during the past year the Trophy, first presented some 40 years ago, met an untimely end when it fell from a cupboard at the home of one of last years winners. The good news is that a replica will be constructed by Potter Peter Hough, the artist who made the original model.
