Pike Hills Golf Club captain Syd Locker died on Saturday after collapsing at the club. He was 48.
His wife, Margaret, senior accident and emergency sister at York District Hospital, was with him at the club when he collapsed. He was rushed to hospital but doctors there were unable to save him.
Mr Locker, from Colton just outside York, had been installed as captain in February this year. Club secretary Lawrence Hargrave said: "It is terribly sad and leaves the club in a terrible state."
