TAVISTOCK Golf Club has started the season well.  The ladies had an excellent home win in the first round of the Mail on Sunday competition when they had 5-0 victory over Yelverton. The next round is home to Launceston. 

Mike Wakeley and Glyn Cunnick won the qualifying round of the Daily Mail Foursomes and will represent the club at Wrangaton in the next round. 

The qualifying round of the county foursomes for the Doris Willes-Little Trophy was played on a bitterly cold day.  In a superb match the partnership of Bev Ruth and Jayne Wright beat  Hilary Picton and Gail Reed on the 18th green. 

More than 100 players took to the course in the men's monthly Stableford but the cold weather and wind made playing conditions very difficult and resulted in reductions only. 

In division one Andy Cunningham had 35 points with Rob Jarman, Rich Potts and Pete Stankevitch all on 34s.  Martin Channon had 35pts in division two with Adrian Berr and Jim Hunter both with 33. In division three Garry White had 31pts, second Keith Stenhouse with 28 and all with 27 were Bernard Green, Tommy Rawlinson and Roger Ward. 

The ladies faired no better in their monthly Stableford with another reductions only.

In division one Nicky Gawman had 31pts, Jayne Wright 30 and Hilary Picton 29. Kate Harding with 28, Teresa Hughes 26 and June Kendall 24 were the top three in division two.  Jill Millichamp topped division three with 31pts, Val Jarman also had 31 and third was Sam Avens with 30.
