On Monday 4th September, over 60 golfers entered the Final of the 90th Iconic Harewood Trophy Golf Tournament, to raise money for Yorkshire West Riding Masonic Charities Ltd.
Since its inception back in 1933, members of the Yorkshire West Riding Masonic Golf Association have donated hundreds of thousands of pounds to the YWRMCL.
However, since the Pandemic, support for this prestigious event had dwindled dramatically and, as a result, over recent years, the amount raised had also declined considerably.
Until this year, when, on a beautiful sunny day, the golfers drove off to try and beat the course record and win one of the many historic Trophies and other Superb prizes.
The course was very challenging. Our golfers lost far too many balls in the water hazards, but we still managed to donate £1500 to the YWRMCL, which will be put to very good use, supporting local good causes throughout Yorkshire.
The chairman of the YWRMGA Committee (W. Bro. Stefan Kowalczyk) wants to thank all the players, our official photographer (W. Bro Andrew Warren), W. Bro Dr. Andrew L. Wright PSGD APGM for his incredible support and encouragement and the staff at Ripon City Golf Club who helped make the day so memorable.
Next year, on 2nd September 2024, the Final of the Harewood Trophy Tournament will be hosted by the Huddersfield District and the Committee is aiming to be able to double its donation and to encourage 80 golfers from throughout our Province to get involved.
