TAVISTOCK Golf Club?s junior members have enjoyed a bumper April of golfing achievements.

The first competition during the school holidays was the adult/junior foursomes competition which was closely fought with both first and second place scoring 46 points, and the countback had to be taken to the last six holes.

Winners were Chris Gawman and George Gawman and runners-up were Matt Hulbert and Sue Coles. Both pairs go on to represent the club at Devon?s junior/adult final in October at Stover Golf Club.

Chris Gawman?s success continued over the weekend when the young 12 -year-old competed in and won the men?s George Kitley stableford competition, amassing an incredible 50 points. Many of the juniors did well in this competition and handicaps have since tumbled.

On Easter Sunday the junior section held its Easter stableford competition which was sponsored by Turner?s of Roborough. There were lots of Easter eggs up for grabs and the scoring was again high.

In category one first place was Matt Hulbert with 48 points, second Sam Brockington 40 points, in category two (55+ handicaps) first place was Robert Beveridge 54 points, and in the girls? competition Becky Gawman just pipped Faye Wakley by one shot to win.

Chris Gawman and Adam Waddle also competed in the Devon Junior Golf Society meet at Exeter Golf Club on April 15, Adam won his stableford category and Chris was fourth in his division.

On April 24 Tavistock travelled to Bigbury to play their first league match of the season, a new experience for many of the boys involved. Bigbury won the match by three games to two.

Congratulations go to Joe Trembath, who won his singles match, and to the pairing of Adam Burbidge and Sam Turner, who triumphed in the match.

The next junior meeting is on May 16 and all junior members are welcome. Junior lessons have also been restructured with girls? only lessons on Sundays. Non-members are welcome to come and have a go but booking is essential. Call Dominic Rehaag, the club?s professional, for more information on 01822 612316.
