Events like this take a lot of planning to execute well. Huge thanks to everyone at East Devon Golf Club, staff and members alike, who gave us a fantastic welcome, all the support DevonGolf could have hoped for and a course that was a joy to play, if not with a few tricky pin positions on the second day. DevonGolf is grateful to all the competitors who played with such great spirit, and not a little patience as the fog stubbornly refused to lift. Thanks to the DevonGolf volunteers - referees David Smith, Gordon Thomson, Lorna Brown, Malcolm Hughes and Pam St Leger, Competitions' Secretary Colleen Skornia and Operations Manager Paul Cloke whose organisation was second to none.
