Today 11 / 11 / 11, Arthur Crawshaw, a Dewsbury District member for over 44 years, managed to play a full round around Dewsbury District’s testing moorland course at the ripe old age of 95.
Not only that he played to his handicap amassing 36 stableford points in the process. All this on a miserable day with mist and fog and a cold wind blowing and putting many people off even going out to play.
Arthur plays every week but usually prefers a buggy nowadays but because of the recent poor weather he could not use one today.
Knowing the testing landscape of the course helps to realise the magnitude of this amazing feat for someone so mature in years, even to those who know Arthur they were yet again surprised by his commitment, endurance but not his strength of character. He is a proper role model to be admired and looked up to.

Arthur truly is a testament that golf is a sport that can be played at any age. Way to go!
