DEVON GOLF
A BIG THANK YOU TO THE DCVLGA
A big thank you to the DCLVGA
Sunday saw the annual meet up of the Devon under 18 girls and the DCLVGA, this year hosted at Teignmouth.
The weather was kind, in that it was dry but there certainly was a nip in the air despite the sun shining!
The format was better ball pairs - this year with the under 18 girls elite squad paired with the girls development squad to play against the Lady Vets.
This was an excellent opportunity for the Lady Vets to see first hand the breadth of talent we have across the squads and for the girls to gain valuable words of wisdom and advice from these experienced Lady golfers.
The matches were played in great spirit, and some fantastic golf was played by both sides. The girls did come out victorious in the end with a 6 1/2 to 1/2 win, but this fixture is never really about the result, it’s about bringing the generations together to enjoy the sort they love - and in that sense everyone was a winner!
A well deserved match meal was enjoyed by all the players after the golf and it was so lovely to see everyone chatting and laughing together in the clubhouse.
A presentation was then made by Joyce Brown, Lady Captain of the DCLVGA, on behalf of the association a donation of £350 to fund additional coaching for the development squad.
It was quite fitting that among the girls that played that day, nearly all had benefited from this very kind annual donation.
Susie Carr, Devon Girls Elite Team Captain, then made a speech to thank everyone involved for playing, the catering and green staff and to thank the ladies for their kind donation.
