the tournament host Michael Campbell, ran a junior golf clinic with our club professional, Andy Turner on the practice ground. The opportunity to listen and learn from a past major winner was a real highlight of the summer.

The headline golfer was 2005 US Open champion Michael Campbell. Ilkley golf club member Mark James and a host of professional golfers, joined by a host of celebrities and amateur golfers, competed over the two-day event.  Following a 3-way playoff, the winner was Matt Cort.
