AT their annual meeting the members of Tavistock Golf Club voted to register the club as a Community Amateur Sports Club (CASC). 

Following a Government review into participation in sport, its relationship to health and lobbying by leading sports bodies, sports clubs since April 2002 have been able to register as a CASC. 

John Harding, chairman of the management committee, reassured members that, though club rules need to be amended to register as a CASC, it does not mean that the ownership of the club's buildings or assets pass to a third party or that members and committee relinquish control of the club.  In the unlikely event of the club being dissolved the remaining assets of the club will be used for a sporting or charitable purpose.  To date more that 400 golf clubs nationally have registered including many in Devon.

Shaun Kiely was elected the new club captain with Rod Hillman as vice-captain.  Standing down as management committee chairman was John Harding on completion of his three year term of office.  John has been a very able chair say members and his post will be taking up by past club captain Tony Ingram.

In the mens Knape Medal Graham Ruth topped the first division with an excellent nett 69.  Shaun Kiely and Mike Beveridge both came in with nett 71 and on nett 72 were Nick Mier and Steve Dickinson.  In division two first was Bill Phillott nett 71, second Steve Fowler nett 72 and both with nett 74 were Lester Francis and Dick Stead. In division three first was Chris Sivyer nett 71, second Alan Roach nett 72 with Ian Nye and Barry Howson both on nett 73. 

The club's Winter Foursomes was won by Peter Leverton and Jim Baskerville with a 5-4 win over David Walls and John Lyddon.  In the men vets' Winter match final Ken Kendall and Simon Bridgewater won 6-5 over Harvey Leach and Dan Pratley.
