Welcome to York Golf Union

2021 President

Mike Ward  (Forest Park GC )

On behalf of all member Clubs and the Executive Committee a warm welcome to the York Union Of Golf Clubs website

I feel extremely privileged and honoured to serve as your 2021 President and following the ‘gloom’ of the past 12 months like so many I’m really looking forward to the gradual easing of Covid-19 restrictions; and hopefully the resumption of normal golf as we know it in the not too distant future.

Thankfully, apart from the enforced cancellation of a small number of early competitions I can report there is growing optimism that the remaining 2021 York Union calendar of events will go ahead from May onwards, subject to any Government or English Golf guidance appropriate at the time.

It will be my pleasure to accompany the YU Junior and Senior representative teams this year and on that note, I would like to take this opportunity to thank our key sponsors for their valued support and generosity in these difficult times. As a direct result of sponsorship both teams will be ‘kitted out' with new teamwear for the start of the 2021 IDU season and our sponsors ongoing commitment is very much appreciated by all associated with the York Union of Golf Clubs. 

Over the coming months it is my intention to visit all member Clubs at the earliest opportunity and I look forward to meeting members and officials throughout the year as we progress with our extensive schedule of events.

 In the meantime, please stay safe, respect Covid guidelines and enjoy the new golfing season

Best wishes

Mike Ward
