The ladies have been busy playing in late summer competitions. On September 22 they played in the Dartmoor Trophy, a mixed competition held annually and open to golf clubs on the west and southern side of Dartmoor. It was held at Okehampton, and the home team won the trophy. Yelverton came third.
On September 23 the ladies played in the closed course competition in which each team?s individual stableford points are totalled.
This was started last year between Yelverton, Tavistock and Royal North Devon, all courses which were closed last year because of the foot and mouth crisis. This time the match was held at RND, and the home club won the trophy with 308 points. Yelverton were runners-up with 283 points.
