On a glorious autumn day the cream of Devon Pro golf gathered
at the picturesque Teign Valley golf course. The course which
has matured very well since it's construction 15 years ago, offers
a great strategic challenge, with a mixture of tight tree lined
fairways, lakes, ditches and well placed bunkers. Although not
a long course, it still presents a superb challenge for even
the scratch golfer.
In the pro individual score, the cream really did rise to the
top, with two of Devon's most consistent and accomplished golfer's
both finished tied first on 3 under par 67's. West Region money
list leader Chris Gill, and Teign Valley's home touring professional,
Sean Mason. Both players felt they could have scored a little
bit lower, but were none the less happy to keep their good form
going as the season draws to a close.
Gill particularly wants to maintain his sharpness, as in three
weeks time he attempts to get through the next stage of the European
Tour qualifying school, and Mason after a season working hard
on his game looks to recapture last season's form, where he was
number one player in the West Region.
In third place on 68 was Exeter's teaching guru Gary Milne, who
proved yet again that he can still `mix it` with the best on
the golf course. In fourth place after a very disappointing finish
was Ashley Moon from Okehampton. Ashley was 4 under par with
three to play, but lost his focus in the closing holes.
Home pro Scott Aimet, who also superbly organised the event,
also dropped shots late in his round and had to settle for a
level par 70.
In the team competition, the winners were lead by home Pro Sean
Mason who produced an incredible 19 under par total to pip Okehampton's
team, lead by Ashley Moon by one shot.
Main sponsor on the day who also played in the event, was Robert
Fosse whose company www.westcountystoragesolutions.com are based
locally.
Devon PGA Captain Iain Parker thanked everybody at Teign Valley
for putting on a great days golf, and commented "the pros
love coming to Teign Valley, not least because, their is always
a great friendly atmosphere around the club, and in the bar after
the round." He also thanked club captain James Brophy and
looked forward next season for an even bigger and better event.
