THERE is one section of Tavistock Golf Club who will be waiting eagerly for the spring and that is the juniors.

They have finished the regular season on a high, and have begun to show the promise, which their ?guardians? over the last two years, Andrew and Victoria Coe in 2001, and principally Philip Gawman and Nigel Doidge this year, believed they had.

The last month has been significant in their progress, which started when the juniors got the better of Tavistock Veterans winning 3-2.But the excellent result which caught everyone?s attention was the resounding victory over Yelverton Juniors by 378 to 327.

Detailed scores (Tavistock scores first): Adam Waddle 41, Joe Yorke 30, Sam Brockington 31, Martin Petherick 38, Adam Burbidge 32, Ross Hunter 24, Joe Trembath 39, Oliver Amann 39, Sam Webster 29, Gregg Amann 34, Daniel Rosevear 39, Ryan May 30, Luke Wakely 43, Nick Jenkins 39, Chris Gawman 31, Richard Taylor 35, Mathew Tamsett 47, Hayden Jenkins 36, Nathan Ash 46, Nathen Jenkins 22.

What a difference a week makes for Sam Webster.

He may have been the lowest Stableford contributor against Yelverton, but he lifted the Hawkins Trophy last weekend, edging home in front of Chris Gawman and Theo Pahlson.

Alan Gawman, with Nick Mier won the Foster/Ferris Trophies event for men?s/ladies or mixed pairs with a four-ball better-ball score of 66.

Occupying the other podium positions were Tom Dodd and Joe Creber (67) and George Gawman and Nicky Gawman with 68.

Attracting more than 120 competitors, David Johns won the Greenkeepers Stableford with a score of 41, two points ahead of Brian Newlands and Mark Ingram.

Entry fees are contributed to the greens staff for Christmas.

With a nett score of 82 Glyn Cunnick won the RNLI Medal, just ahead of Dennis Greening (84) and Mike Apps (85).

And not to be forgotten, cub professional, Dominic Rehaag, who was partnering Peter Hunter, finished second in the Devon Alliance at Budleigh Salterton.
