Supporters are being invited to join club legend Paddy McLaughlin for a special Testimonial Golf Day tomorrow, proudly supported by Leeds-based specialist joinery manufacturer Paradigm Woodworking.
Held in partnership with York City Past Players, the event takes place at Pike Hills Golf Club on Thursday 23 July and forms one of the final celebrations of McLaughlin’s testimonial year after a decade of outstanding service to York City Football Club.

Sarah Arnold, director at Paradigm, said: “From the moment we spoke with the testimonial committee, we knew we wanted to be involved. Paddy’s commitment to York City over the last ten years deserves to be recognised, but what really stood out to us was his support for Menfulness and the work they do across our community. As a family business, supporting local people and worthwhile causes is something we’re passionate about. We’re incredibly proud to support both Paddy’s testimonial year and such a fantastic local charity, and we wish him every success both on the golf course and in the future.”
The golf day promises to be another memorable occasion, bringing together supporters, former teammates, sponsors and members of the local community to celebrate one of York City’s most respected modern-day players.
Golfers of all abilities are welcome, with £180 per fourball including a bacon sandwich with tea or coffee on arrival, 18 holes at Pike Hills Golf Club, and a bar meal following the round. Adding to the occasion, York City’s National League Trophy will be on display throughout the day, giving supporters and participants the opportunity to have photographs taken with the silverware following the club’s unforgettable promotion-winning season.
Paddy McLaughlin said: “The support I’ve received throughout my testimonial year has been incredible and I’d like to thank everyone who has come along to the events so far. The golf day is another great opportunity to bring people together, catch up with old friends and celebrate what’s been an unforgettable ten years at York City. I’m also incredibly grateful to Paradigm for their support and for getting behind both my testimonial year and Menfulness. Their backing, along with everyone else involved, has helped make these events possible and I’m really looking forward to what promises to be another fantastic day at Pike Hills.”
Menfulness, Paddy’s chosen charity, will also be represented throughout the event, with funds raised helping to support its work providing mental health support and wellbeing initiatives across York.
There are a limited number of places still available. Entry is £180 per fourball and includes a bacon sandwich with tea or coffee on arrival, 18 holes of golf at Pike Hills Golf Club and a bar meal following the round.
