MALTON & Norton's David Hague crowned a memorable season by setting a new record of 63 on the Park Course at his home club.

Hague, one of the leading amateur golfers in the country, finished third in the Yorkshire Order of Merit rankings after winning both the Pannal Rose and Vardon Grip tournaments.

He also qualified for the Brabazon Trophy and reached the third round knockout stage of the English Amateur Championship at Ganton.

In the York Union, he has won the Open, the Matchplay, the Crossley Trophy, and the Order of Merit.

He also won the Yorkshire foursomes for the second consecutive year and his closing handicap for the season was plus 3.3.

“I have been pleased with the progress made this season," said Hague. "I worked very hard on my game as well as my strength and conditioning and this has really helped.

"It’s great to have such excellent facilities at Malton and I am now looking forward to spending some time abroad working on my game over the winter.”
