TAVISTOCK amateur golfer Adam Bridgewater, who had only recently relinquished his professional status, took part in the Devon Amateur 2001 held at the Churston Golf Course.

On the Gold Medal Day — May 18 — Adam went through from a starting field of 50 golfers, to the quarter-finals where he narrowly lost 2 and 1 to Ben van Roost, a one handicap player from Downes Crediton Golf Club.

Adam is now UK accounts manager for local company South West Acrylics and he hopes that his busy sales schedule will not prevent him from keeping up his golfing skills.
