Thursday 4th of December saw a strong field from the Devon Professional Golfers Alliance visit the links course of the Warren Golf club for their Annual Greensomes Competition. Despite the torrential rain of nights previous the course was in great condition and as always the greens putted fast and true with just a mild south westerly breeze blowing across the links.

The Pro/Am competition was won by Exeter Golf & Country Club pair Professional Chris Gill and Amateur Andy Rockey with a fine score of 5 under par. The Greensomes format which means both players hit a tee shot then play alternate shots from the tee shot they choose was played beautifully by the Exeter pair. Their game plan of using Andy Rockey's strong part of his game, the tee shot, as often as possible meant Gill could use all his skill and ability to craft some wonderful approach shots to some tricky flag positions. Not least of these was an arrow like six iron on the formidable 18th hole, out of bounds left and railway line right, which never left the flag and came to rest 6 inches from the hole. This birdie added to others at 1, 5 and 7 along with a number of crucial putts holed from Andy Rockey was the base for their emphatic 3 shot victory. Coming home in joint second place were Churston Professional Rob Butterworth and partner Terry Lee and Royal North Devon Assistant Dan Wood, who has been showing fine form over the Winter months, with partner John Baker. Both pairs were very pleased with their scores of 2 under par on not the easiest of days.

The Am/Am side of the tournament was very much of a Tavistock affair, making the most of their familiarity with playing shots and chips from tight lies, with two pairs scoring 1 over par. The pair who came out on top were Pete Leverton & Brian Alford winning on a better back nine from Graham Dennis & Malcolm Beveridge. Following on in 3rd place were Teignmouth duo, Keith Mason and Mark Haskell 2 shots further back on 3 over par.

At he presentation Alliance Captain, Barry Austin, thanked The Warren Golf Club for their hospitality and the use of their wonderful course and Course Manager, Jon Welsford, and staff for the beautifully turned out course.
