Our 2023 Spring Meeting was held at Moortown & The Alwoodley Golf Club on the 10th & 11th May. A celebration of the early work by the great Dr Alister MacKenzie who designed and laid out the courses in Leeds. Alwoodley was his maiden attempt and nervous members - keen to find out whether their money was going to good use - appointed HS Colt to come and check the work by this physician turned architect. Not long after, MacKenzie was part of the group of founding memebrs at Moortown looking to establish a course less than a mile from Alwoodley.

''The Crump Cup of British Indoor Golf'' as it was affectionately dubbed! 70 people all flocked to Urban Golf in Smithfield, London to spend the evening spreading some festive cheer, a few holes on the sims and a few cold ones! A massive thank you to Urban Golf for laying the event on for everyone. The competition mirrored the format of a mid-am! A full match report can be found on our blog section of our website (linked below) - essentially a 3 hole qualification stroke play round to determine 8 quarter finalists who battled it out on the old course... with one club only! Great fun and looking forward to more events next year! Read our match report for more here https://youtu.be/I4oTFuU5T44

The spring meeting is a staple of the golfing calendar, whereby a group of people convene following a long cold winter to mark the start of the golfing season. At the start of the year, we thought we would have a go at doing one with a twist! Two days in Kent with music, fireworks, great food, world class golf courses and of course, a group of people who share an unrivalled passion for the game! Special thanks must go to Prince's and Royal St. George's Golf Club who, without their extreme generosity and support for Cookie Jar, the event could simply not have been possible. https://youtu.be/t45go-Aeldk
