Double Yorkshire Honours for Hessle
26/11/2011
HESSLE have chalked up a notable double with Ruth Goodwin becoming captain of the Yorkshire Ladies County Golf Association and John Deeming being nominated as the president for Yorkshire Union of Golf Clubs.
The event is possibly not without precedent, but is nevertheless unusual given that there are over 190 golf clubs in Yorkshire.
Goodwin was installed as the 2012 county captain at the Association's AGM in Harrogate, having served as the vice captain for the past 12 months.
She has been a member of the county executive since 2004 and since 2007 has been the county handicap adviser.
A 12-handicap golfer with aspirations to get down to single figures, she was Hessle Golf Club's lady captain in 2003.
"Yorkshire has so many golf club and so to be captain of the Yorkshire Ladies is a tremendous honour both for me personally and for Hessle Golf Club," said Goodwin.
"I am really looking forward to my year and to the challenges that lie ahead and I know having been involved in the Association that when I need support it will be forthcoming.
"One of my main goals is for Yorkshire to regain the Northern Counties title that we last held in 2010."
Deeming's nomination will give Hessle Golf Club only its second president of Yorkshire in the club's history following on from Vic Coupland in 1970.
It is also another major coup for the East Riding Union of Golf Clubs as he will follow Hull Golf Club's Stephen Larard, who will be the 2012 Yorkshire president.
Deeming is a long-standing member of Hessle having joined in 1978.
He currently plays off a handicap of 12 and has held many offices at the club, including captain in 1985, chairman from 1986 to 1995 and president in 2003-04.
He was president of the East Riding Union in 2001 and has been a Yorkshire executive member since 2002.
He is also an EGU referee and sits on the EGU Tournament Panel.
He is fully absorbed in all aspects of golf having retired from professional life in 1999 when he was Kingston upon Hull City Council's Director of Technical Services having trained as a chartered engineer.
"I am honoured to be invited to take on the role of next year's president (elect) of the Yorkshire Union and in this respect I am grateful to the past presidents for their support in nominating me," he said.
"This is also a tremendous honour for Hessle who I believe have only once in the past provided a president. I look forward to supporting next year's president, Hull Golf Club's Stephen Larard."

Paul Lockwood represents the EGU in Argentina
11/11/2011
Paul Lockwood (Hessle, Yorkshire) and Matthew Wallace (Moor Park, Hertfordshire) will attempt to extend England’s fine record in the event when they represent the EGU in the Juan Carlos Tailhade Cup at Los Lagartos Country Club in Buenos Aires, Argentina on the 10th – 13th November.
The annual 72-hole stroke play championship in which the aggregate scores of both players count, has seen a number of English players taking the honours.
Nick Dougherty and Gary Wolstenholme won in 2000 and were succeeded in 2001 by Zane Scotland and David Skinns. Gary Lockerbie and Michael Skelton succeeded in 2003, Seve Benson and Ed Richardson in 2006, while Sam Hutsby and Chris Wood were runners-up in the following year.
There is also an individual award and Andrew Sullivan captured that last year after a playoff.
Lockwood, 19, a former boy cap, made his full international debut against Spain at The Berkshire last May. Runner-up in the Carris Trophy in 2010, he finished second in the Titleist/FootJoy EGU Boys Order of Merit last year and has enjoyed a successful 2011. Beside his full England cap, he finished joint third in the North of England Youths Championship, tied fourth in the Lee Westwood Trophy, fifth in the Riverswood Junior Open in Holland, sixth in the West of England Stroke Play Championship and equal eighth in the Lytham Trophy.
Like Lockwood, Wallace, 21, is a member of the England training squad for this winter and 2012, having emerged over the last two years. After topping the South East Qualifier and finishing third in the Tillman Trophy in 2010, this year has seen him finish runner-up in the Berkshire Trophy and the Czech Amateur. He also reached the second round of the British Amateur Championship at Hillside and finished tied tenth in the South of England Amateur at Walton Heath.
After the Tailhade Cup the pair will stay in Buenos Aires for the Argentine Amateur Championship at San Isidro Golf Club on 15th – 20th November.
The Argentine Amateur has a 36-hole stroke play qualifying competition with the leading 64 players going forward to the match play knockout. Each round is over 18 holes with the final over 36. Luke Goddard won the title in 2008
