Robin Langhamer and Ben Godby secured a treasured victory for Driffield in the Shouler Cup on Sunday, April 21.
The four match series inter-club competition played by Driffield, Malton, Kirbymoorside and Flamborough Golf Clubs combines pairings with one player with a handicap of 0-13 and one 14-20 handicap.
Robin Langhamer was delighted to have won this event for the first time as he has competed in it since becoming a member of Driffield some 30years ago.
The pair combined perfectly as they failed to drop a shot to par on any of the eighteen holes.
Ben picked up a birdie nett eagle on the 11th hole, with other nett birdies on the 4th and 16th holes.
Robin came in with nett birdie on the 9th and 17th holes.
The total score of a six under 64 was just enough to edge one shot ahead of the chasing field.
Leading Scores: B. Godby & R Langhamer (Driffield) 64, D Woodhead & S Hutchinson (Kirbymoorside) 65, J James & D Ridley (Malton) 67.
Joint captains charity golf day
During their year in office the captains of the Driffield Golf Club adopt a charity to receive funds raised throughout their year.
This year the designated charity is the Royal National Lifeboat Institute (RNLI) and to start the year off the joint captains are hosting a Charity AM/AM at Driffield, a course many believe to be the best parkland course in Yorkshire.
The event is planned for Thursday, May 23 and is open to teams of four, made up of either gents, ladies or mixed teams playing a Four Ball Stableford over 18 holes.
Included in the entry fee will be a bacon roll and coffee on arrival; refreshments at the halfway house and, if required, a two course meal on finishing.
Entry fee is £80 per team of four or £120 per team if the meal is required on finishing.
An extensive range of prizes are on offer and all monies raised will go to the RNLI.
Teams can register by contacting Driffield Golf Club on 01377 253116 or by emailing info@driffieldgolfclub.co.uk
