The weather clearly affected all players, with the winning total of 38 points being the lowest total of the season.

Individual members of any Golf Club affiliated to the Yorkshire Union of Golf Clubs may become County Members of the Association, by completing the application form and submitting it, with the appropriate one-off Life Membership fee [currently £40]. All County Members receive a county fixture list, and a copy of the yearbook, and they are entitled to purchase and wear the Association tie and knitwear. They are also, subject to the conditions which are laid down, eligible to enter the golf competitions which the Union holds for such members - at present, there are nine events each year, held at courses around the County.
Long sleeve sweaters are now available from the County Members Secretary, at a cost of £40. Sleeveless sweaters are also available at a cost of £30. Regretably, the supply of umbrellas has been sold out, but we are trying to obtain suitable replacements, at a reasonable cost. As well as the ordinary Members tie, bow ties are now available, both priced at a modest £7 each. Some items will be available to purchase at the Members meetings, or can be ordered from the County Members Secretary.
