Coronation Year 1953 was celebrated with competitions, dinners and teas. The 7th Earl of Harewood was now President having taken over on the death of his father. The Club’s Golden Jubilee was celebrated in 1956. Refurbishment of the clubhouse was undertaken.
Happiness reigned on the course and in the clubhouse. In 1972 there was great excitement once again as Lee Trevino, the Open Champion, was coming to Pannal to play in an Exhibition Match on Sunday 16th July. The excitement was understandably intense as only the day before, as defending champion, he had won The Open at Muirfield. The match was played with Lee Trevino, Michael Bonallack, Rodney Foster and Lionel Platts – the scores being 66, 71, 68 and 68 respectively. Wonderful golf was played and Lee talked and joked with the spectators.
