The Mizuno Devon Alliance event at Torquay Golf Club on Thursday 29th October had a field of 114 players. This is one of the largest entries for the Devon Alliance for many years and is a great sign for a fantastic season ahead! The golf course was good condition and with a sun shining, a good scoring day was expected.

As it turned out, the standard of play was very high. In the Pro-Am event, home Professional Tom Hiscock and his partner M Goodrich came in with an exceptional score of 45 points. This was 2 better than Churston’s prolific professional Paul Hendriksen and his partner N Jackson with 43 points.

In the Am-Am event, there was an excellent score of 44 points from the home team of M Passmore and R Corbett, who won by two points from P Skidmore and M Hill from Okehampton.

In the Kenyon Trophy, there was a share of first place with Chris Gill and Jon Axford, who won with a great score of 40 points. Both Chris and Jon won by 2 shots from Barry Austin and Paul Hendriksen.

The Devon Alliance would like to thank the days sponsor Mizuno Golf Equipment and especially Paul Jones for their support of the Devon Alliance this season.

The Alliance Captain thanked Torquay Golf Club for hosting the event, especially professionals Martin Ruth, Tom Hiscock and Ben Hiscock, the Secretary Tony Fensom and the entire bar and catering staff at the club.

The next event is at Dainton Park Golf Club on Thursday 12th November and I look forward to seeing you all at the next event.
