Great win for Devon U14/U16's

Devon U14/U16s Team	Craig Passmore Best Gross	Lewis Beer 2nd Best gross & Max Parsons - Best Nett

Thursday 1 June saw the Devon  U14/16 team travel to the very impressive Kendleshire golf club in Gloucestershire to take on the rest of the southwest in the SWCGA U14/16 championship.

Great course and great weather greeted the team for their practice round with County Coach Gary Milne on the Thursday where some good preperation was carried out.

Competition day Friday the boys went out very much as a unit, as the best 7 scores from each team of 9 counted for the team score. At the turn, lead out man James Reed came through at a steady 1 over, followed by Craig Passmore on level....so far so good. Luke Tooley was our next man through on 3 over, but our position was really strengthened with Lewis Beer then coming through 1 under....but they all still had the tougher back 9 to come.

These half time scores were all backed up with solid front 9s from Haydon McCance, Max Parsons, Fred Bishop & Jack Dart....the boys were going well.

James came home with a creditable 4 over...solid for the team, but Craig Passmore quickly followed him in having gained a shot on the back 9, with a great best gross of the day 1under...well done Craig. Lewis Beer really gave the team a boost, backing up his great start by finishing just 1over..2nd overall, and Matt Millar recovered really well from a poor start to bring home a counting score, along with Haydon McCance & Luke Tooley.
Max Parson picked up the best Nett trophy, but just as importantly another great score for the team, Fred Bishop also put in a very strong performance.

With Devon's 7 scores to count all in the top 22, the boys proved to strong as a unit, winning by 11 shots over Wiltshire with:

3rd Cornwall
4th Gloucestershire
5th Dorset
6th Somerset

Great team spirit in the camp was a big factor with all the boys pulling together.
Gary Milne's practice round preparation was as vital as ever, and a huge thanks to Grahame Moore & James Beer for their invaluable help and support over the two days.
Great course,
Great weather
Great atmosphere
Great golf
Great team
Great result.....well done boys, you should all be very proud.
