IT WAS a busy day at Tavistock Golf Club as Devon’s club champions gathered for the DevonGolf Club Champion of Champions and Order of Merit Finals, with county honours and season-long bragging rights up for grabs!

Clubs from across Devon were invited to enter their men’s, women’s, boys’ and girls’ club champions to compete for the prestigious title of DevonGolf Club Champion of Champions. Most competitions were played off scratch, with some handicap sections also on offer.

The order of merit titles rewarded consistency throughout the season, with competitions held at clubs across the county. Only the seniors’ scratch order of merit had been settled before finals day, with Saunton’s Mark Snape having already secured the title beyond the reach of his rivals.

There was plenty to celebrate across the categories, with Churston’s Jack Dart taking both the men’s champion of champions title and the men’s scratch best score on finals day. Saunton’s Tommasina Miali enjoyed a particularly successful day, claiming both the girls’ scratch and handicap champion of champions titles.

Jenny Rhodes (Torquay) claimed the women’s club champion of champions crown ahead of Sophie Page whilst Stover youngster Callum Cogavin starred in the boys’ field.

Onto the order of merit and Dartmouth golfer Lee Marels led the way for the men, ahead of Torquay’s Will Farley.

Mark Snape, as previously mentioned, won the senior’s order of merit, edging out Tim Aggett in the scratch and levelling Simon Calvert with his handicap score.

Jack Dart had the best men’s scratch score on finals day and it was Craig Townsend (Exeter) for the seniors.

Congratulations to all the winners and runners-up for their achievements, and a big thank you to Tavistock Golf Club for being such excellent hosts and helping make it a successful day for DevonGolf.
