SKIPTON Golf Club is celebrating a double trophy coup this season – league titles for both its men’s scratch and 1st teams in their respective divisions of the Harrogate & District Union of Golf Clubs, the 1st team retaining the title it also won last year.

A total of 26 players competed throughout the season under team captain Chris Payne, with current men’s captain Jonathan Smith competing in all but one of the matches.
A 100% home record was also recorded, as the golfers sported new shirts sponsored by men’s vice-captain and team member Barry Rawlinson through his Trawden-based companies Northwest Render and Vertex Render Supplies.
Some of the team members are pictured at Skipton celebrating their trophy successes. Holding the silverware are men’s captain Jonathan Smith, left, and team captain Chris Payne, while between them is the vice-captain’s 15-year-old son, Seth Rawlinson, this year’s junior captain, who has also played regularly for the team and won most of his matches.
