The Bradford & District Union of Golf Clubs is preparing for its inaugural non-Alliance tournament of the year, scheduled to take place at East Bierley Golf Club this coming weekend. The 9-Hole Clubs Team Championship will commence tomorrow, with a total of 28 confirmed entries. Competitors will be facing the challenge from the white tees, promising an exhilarating event.
The front-runners from South Bradford will be entering the tournament with high prospects, having secured victory in both the 2021 and 2023 editions. Nevertheless, they can anticipate stiff competition from Clayton, who emerged triumphant in 2019 and 2022. With such formidable adversaries, the championship anticipates a captivating showcase of talent and expertise.
Subsequent to this event, the Junior Team Championship will be hosted at Northcliffe Golf Club on Wednesday, May 29, marking the commencement of an eventful month for the golfing community in the Bradford district.
Adverse unseasonal wet weather has impacted golf courses in the area, resulting in a delay in the commencement of the Bradford Union’s scratch league. Originally slated to commence earlier, the league will now commence on Friday, May 31. Furthermore, the Inter Club Fourball Championship, originally intended for Sunday, April 28 at Branshaw Golf Club, has been rescheduled to Sunday, June 2 at the same venue.
Moreover, the Second Division Team Championship, originally planned to be hosted at The Manor Golf Club last Sunday, has been postponed to Sunday, August 4. Given the tardiness of this rescheduled competition, the follow-up Knockout (Handicap Matchplay) will witness the top four clubs from the event playing two rounds prior to the final. The ultimate showdown will take place at Keighley Golf Club on Sunday, September 15.
Undoubtedly, the golfing calendar is brimming with activity, and players and enthusiasts alike can anticipate an action-packed season ahead.
