SOPHIE DOES IT AGAIN – A PERSONAL BEST!

Rudding Park Golf is incredibly proud of Sophie Orton, who has completed her second marathon as part of her two-marathon challenge, achieving a fantastic personal best!

Sophie crossed the finish line in 3:27:26, around seven minutes quicker than her previous marathon, placing an impressive 107th out of 1,960 female runners.

Alongside this incredible sporting achievement, Sophie has now raised over £3,300 for two fantastic local charities, Saint Michael's Hospice and Harrogate Mind.

Her determination, commitment and generosity are truly inspiring, and we’re delighted to see her making such a positive difference to our local community through her fundraising.

A huge well done, Sophie! You should be incredibly proud of what you’ve achieved.

RUDDING PARK LADIES SEASON CLOSER – A YORKSHIRE TWIST!

A lovely day was had by all at the Rudding Park Ladies Season Closer, with the weather on our side, even if the courses we played were all a little different!

This year’s Yorkshire-themed competition came with a twist. Each team represented one of nine selected golf clubs across Yorkshire, with their club allocated via a numbered sealed envelope. The ladies discovered their mystery club before heading out to play our Hawtree Course using the scorecard and stroke indexes of their allocated club. A fun format that certainly got everyone thinking!

Taking the honours in this “not-so-fair, but really fun” competition were The Pannal Team, with Carol Whiteley, Esther Noland, Sarah Horvath and our Lady Captain, Katherine Fenton, scoring an impressive 82 points.

Our runners-up were The Bedale Team, comprising Liz Jones, Julie Procter, Jo Douglas and Jill Patrick, with 80 points.

ON-COURSE PRIZES

Nearest the Line on the 6th – Anne Davies
Nearest the Pin on the 11th – Claire Wooldridge

A huge thank you to our Golf Team for organising and running the event so brilliantly, as well as looking after everyone with a delicious post-golf meal. You did a fantastic job, as always.

A special shout-out to our Greenkeeping Team for the excellent presentation of the course.

Finally, thank you to all the ladies who took part and embraced the spirit of the competition. It certainly challenged our thinking, but there was plenty of fun along the way!

Well played, everyone, and what a lovely way to round off the ladies’ season at Rudding Park Golf.
