Moortown's longest-serving Head Professional Bryon Hutchinson has sadly passed away following a period of ill health at the age of 88. Bryon enjoyed remarkable playing career, competing in six Open Championships in which he played alongside Arnold Palmer, and he was appointed captain of the PGA Cup side at Pinehurst in 1974 having played in the inaugural match the previous year. In 2001 he was awarded Honorary Life Membership of the Association. Bryon joined Moortown from Sitwell Park in 1964 when he succeeded Ted Large. He was already a leading competitor in professional tournaments in Yorkshire and the North and he promptly added to his previous achievements by breaking the course record at Rotherham by three strokes with a 66. It was to be the first of a string of course records which succumbed to him. He took Southerndown's in South Wales with a 67 in the Martini International in which he went on to finish third. In the Bowmaker Pro-Am at Sunningdale, he shot a 66 to take a one-stroke lead ahead of the Australian Peter Thomson and Scotland's George Will. In 1970, at the age of 33, Bryon met Thomson again, this time at Walton Heath where he knocked the Australian out of the News of the World Matchplay Championship. "It would not be unkind to say his victory was against all the odds because Thompson had won the title four times and the Open Championship five times," wrote one member of the golfing press. By all accounts it was a gruelling occasion which went to the 21st hole. He was an illustrious figure too in the PGA which he joined in 1954. He was its captain in 1974 when he led the Great Britain and Ireland team against the USA at Pinehurst in the PGA Cup, an event and a course at which he'd been a player the previous year. He also had an incredible record in the Leeds Cup, the oldest trophy in professional golf that is still played for, with four victories in five years from 1968 – the other year he was one shot back from Hedley Muscroft. In 2001 Bryon's record of contribution to the PGA was recognised by his peers with the gift of honorary life membership. In 1989, to mark his 25 years at Moortown, a pro-am team event was held followed by a celebration dinner at which Bryon presented the club with a silver plate together with a decanter and glasses. The purpose of his presentation was to record in perpetuity the names to those whose Moortown members have achieved a hole-in-one at their home course. The plate is engraved with their names while the glasses are used by those celebrating such achievements. In 2000 he represented Moortown for the first time in the MacKenzie Cup at Royal Melbourne and continued to play in the event to his retirement. Another landmark year in Bryon's tenure as the club's longest-serving professional came in 2002 when he was granted a testimonial year prior to his retirement in February 2003 after 40 years. The club organised a testimonial pro-celebrity golf day to which many of his old professional friends were invited including Christy O'Connor Sr, Maurice Bembridge, John Garner and David Snell. The event was rounded off with a commemorative dinner at which the keynote speaker John Greenwood looked back at some of the highlights of Bryon's time at Moortown. His testimonial year concluded in October with a gala dinner at the Majestic Hotel in Harrogate at which he presented the club with a silver salver, to be known as the Hutchinson Salver to be played for annually in one of the Saturday medals. At the 2003 AGM, shortly after Bryon's retirement, the club offered him honorary membership as a reward for his long service.

Huge thanks to Sue Sisley for preserving her late brother-in-law Edward Gordon (Ted) Sisley’s amazing photo collection- and this vital 🇵🇰🤝🇳🇿 connection. Ted was a Kiwi engineer who spent a decade (1964–1974) working on Pakistan’s Indus Basin Projects: Mangla, Chashma, and Tarbela. As a Service Engineer for Bowmaker (Caterpillar’s dealer), he supervised repairs on earthmoving machines across all three iconic dam projects made possible under the Indus Waters Treaty. His photos capture more than machinery. They showcase Pakistanis and New Zealanders working side by side constructively on undertakings of great economic significance for Pakistanis, made possible by a Treaty till now seen by many as an example of successful application of international law. Ted passed in 1974, but his legacy lives on today in the dams that still stand and serve. This legacy is imperilled today by the weaponization of water by Pakistan’s neighbouring state, a co-signatory to the Indus Waters Treaty, India, together with threats to illegally walk away from the Treaty, divert Pakistan’s share of waters and dry up Pakistan’s reservoirs and rivers!
