The tenth Devon Alliance event was held at Exeter Golf Club on Thursday 29th April 2010. There was very little wind, but was raining for the majority of the day, which made the course receptive and resulted in some impressive scoring from both the Professionals and Amateurs.

In the Pro-Am event, Elfordleigh Professional Nick Cook kept up his recent good play along with his partner John Lidstone (Yelverton) and Neil Holman from Torbay Golf Centre and Stover’s Will Godfrey shared 1st place with a great score of 44 points. Plymouth Golf Centre’s Professional Ian Marshall along with his partner John Spry from Bigbury came third on 43 points.

In the Am-Am event, the Okehampton pairing of Paul Skidmore and Gary Cary came in with an impressive score of 44 points. This was enough for a two point win from Chester Barnes and Chris Coles (Churston) with the Saunton partnership of Tony Warren and Alan Payne third on 41 points.

In the Kenyon Trophy there was a three way tie for first. The three players with an excellent score of 39 points were Seam Mason (Exeter), Neil Holman (Torbay GC) and Ian Marshall (Plym GC). It was the first time there has been a three way tie for first position this season.

The Alliance Secretary thanked Exeter Golf Club for hosting the event, in particular all the Green staff for producing a golf course in fantastic condition. He also thanked the Golf Manager Russell Maine, all the staff behind the bar and in the Kitchen and the Professionals Gary Milne and Mark Taylor in the shop.

The next event is the Crediton Alliance on Thursday 13th May.
