In an exciting development for the York Union - Glencor Golf Holidays have extended their sponsorship arrangement to the Cross Trophy.  Any pair finishing in the top 5 of the Glencor Golf Holidays Cross Trophy events 1-12 will be entered into a draw  for  2 vouchers of £250 which can be used on any UK or European golf break with Glencor Golf Holidays.

This means up to 60 pairs have a chance of winning a great prize and demonstrates York Union’s proactivity in adding value to golf clubs and members in the York area.

Pairs can be entered more than once and the draw will be undertaken in the week after  the final Cross Trophy event on Sunday 5th April 2026. THe vouchers are valid until May 31st 2027. 

The event will be renamed the Glencor Golf Holidays Cross Trophy - and anyone who can’t wait until then for their next golf break should check out the website (below), call 01904 406550 or just pop into the office at Clifton Moor !

It was a stunning win for Sonia Simpson of The Oaks Golf Club & Spa in the Ladies Fulford Rose bowl, shooting two over gross (74) for a net 68 to claim the Fulford Rose Bowl by 5 clear shots !  Awesome golf !  Three players shot net 73 with Philippa Ashley (York Golf Club) claiming 2nd place on countback from Jacqueline Roberts and then Emma Tipping (both Malton & Norton Golf Club). Chris Glendinning (also M&N) was 5th with an excellent 74 and Helen Barugh (Fulford Golf Club) completed the prizes.

£2 from every entrant goes towards a charity of the winners choosing - in this case the charity will be Leeds Hospital support with Cancer. 

Sonia commented "On behalf of a close friends dad who supported Leeds Hospitals Charity for the cancer support they gave him over the years and pioneering research. They support people all over Yorkshire fighting their personal battles. He loves his golf and following The Oaks ladies in his later years made him very proud. Thank you every penny makes a difference". 

York Union vice President John Mahan was once again in attendance showing great support through the day.

Huge thanks to all at Malton & Norton for their support on the day and especially Richard Brown.

A busy weekend coming up with Team Championships being held at York and round 1 of the Cross Trophy at Heworth (still some tee times available!) 

Hats off to Heworth after brilliant net 63's from both pairs (Jim Batt / Ian Dodsworth and Dave Fogg / Mark Atkinson).  18 handicapper Ian Dodsworth did the bulk of the scoring with 8 pars as the pair only dropped one shot against the course.  Mark Atkinson and Dave Fogg made 3 net eagles to  help them to their 10 under score.  Home pair Darrin Frew and Gary Greeenwood were the only to get near the Heworth score - also making 3 net eagles in their 9 under 64.  An honourable mention to Forest of Galtres - who had 3 pairs in the top 7 but couldn't quite match the spectacular scoring of Heworth.  Sad to note that current holders Forest Park, despite their number of entries, lacked quality on the day, with 9 of their 11 pairs finishing in the bottom 10 - however huge thanks for their ongoing support of the York Union events - today almost wouldn't have been viable without them !  

Thanks to all at Sandburn Hall for their support and particularly Steve Wood (President) for his support (yet again !)
