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." More information about Fulford Golf Club is available at

Fulford Golf Club members run 100km in one day for cancer charity
Members of a York golf club completed a 100km run in a single day. The challenge, which saw participants run through Heslington and complete ten laps of Fulford Golf Club's 18-hole course, was organised to mark 100 years of Yorkshire Cancer Research - and raised £3,266 for the charity. Fulford Golf Club captain Steve Hood, who took part alongside his son Stevie Jon Hood and professional golfer Guy Wills, said: "I never thought that attempting 100km in one day would involve so much training, commitment, and self-discipline. "This wasn't just a run, but a tribute to those we have lost, and to those affected by cancer, who were with me every step of the way." The trio began the run at 4am, and covered the 100km distance within 16 hours. Supporters, including members of Holgate Harriers and Sally Hicks from Yorkshire Cancer Research, joined them for the final lap. The club has pledged to continue supporting the charity throughout 2025.
