DEVON SALVER 2025

Stover Golf Club was looking very fine for the Devon Salver, a 36-hole competition for men and women. With scratch and nett prizes for both genders and the Brockman Trophy for the U22 men's scratch winner it was a busy day.

With playing handicaps as low as -4 there was always going to be some stunning golf. With Stover's new layout a first trip out for some, there were a few less than flattering scores too. After 18-holes last year's winner of the Devon Salver, James Pickard from East Devon was in the lead with 69, just 1 shot ahead of Teignmouth's Leigh Jones. Not far behind, all with gross 73, were Lee Marels (Dartmouth), Thomas Simpson (Churston), Scott Pym (Torquay) and Chris Greenberry (Stover).

Having endured a short but fulsome shower of rain in the morning, everyone stayed dry for the afternoon's round which saw Leigh Jones shoot a 69, 1 better than his morning round, for a 139 total to win the Devon Salver. Thomas Simpson (Churston) and Archie Christophers (Stover) shot 72 and Matt Curnoe (Churston) a 73. The top 5 scratch winners were:

Leigh Jones (-2) also took the Men's Nett prize with nett 72 and 71 for a nett 143.

Local knowledge proved vital as Stover's Sarah Arnold won both gross and nett prizes for the women's section. 

Sarah's nett scores were round 1 69, round 2 79 for a 148 total, 1 shot ahead of Lesley Pascoe to take the Nett Prize.

The Brockman Trophy is for the best male U22 scratch player over the 2 rounds and Exeter's Josh Murphy shot 76 and 77 for a 153 total to take the cup.

Thanks to all at Stover Golf Club for providing such excellent facilities and for all their help in making the day run so smoothly.
