On this day in 2015: Fulford Golf Club asked to host Carris Trophy
On this day in 2015, the York Press reported that Fulford Golf Club had been asked to host the Carris Trophy in 2018.
The under-18 event, known officially as the English Boys Under 18 Open Amateur Stroke-Play Championship, has been won by golfing stars such as Sandy Lyle, Peter Baker, and Justin Rose.
Gary Pearce, general manager at Fulford Golf Club, said at the original time of reporting in 2015: "This is a fantastic event.
"England Golf, when they hosted the Ladies European Team Championships [at Fulford Golf Club in 2013], saw how well that went and how well that was supported – that was the biggest supported event they have ever run with the numbers that came and watched – and said they would offer us another event.
"The first was the north region qualifier for the Brabazon Trophy, and now we have the Carris Trophy, which is a great tournament.
"It will be a four-day event, run like a professional tournament.
"A lot of great players have won the Carris and there will be some fantastic low handicap golfers here."
