DEVONGOLF
Okehampton Golf Club was the venue of the DevonGolf Senior Women's Championships 2021. This is the Centenary Year for the Okehampton Women's Section and a very fitting year for the club to be hosting this prestigious competition.
Carolyn Maynard (DevonGolf Immediate Past President) was on the 1st tee to start the first group at 9.16 am. 55 women aged 50+ from clubs all over the county participated in this event. The sun shone throughout the day. The course did not disappoint and proved quite a challenge at times with odd bounces, fast greens and pin positions that were not for the faint hearted.
Lady Captain Jane Warren greeted us and, with the assistance of Assistant Secretary Sue Stanbury and Professional Ashley Moon, the day ran very smoothly. DevonGolf are very grateful to the Okehampton members for sharing their course for the day. Sadly, presentations are not yet allowed so trophies will be presented at a later date.
Eilidh Cameron (10) of East Devon Golf Club became the DevonGolf Senior Women's Champion with a gross 82, closely followed by Gilly Jarvis (2) of Yelverton Golf Club with a gross 83 - both scores reflecting the challenge of this course.
