DEVON GOLF
MASONS KINGS WINTER SERIES 3 - TAVISTOCK GOLF CLUB
The competition is hotting up in this series of winter competitions for the best of Devon's golfers. Generously sponsored by Masons Kings for the second year, Tavistock Golf Club played host to 55 golfers of all ages. The competition is played over 6 rounds, gross stableford, 1 a month at different clubs across the county. The top 10 players win points from 10-1, the points from the best 4 of the first 5 competitions are taken into the final round which is at Teignmouth Golf Club in March 2026.
The competition is limited to handicaps below 5.4 and highest handicaps are balloted out if there are insufficient tee times - which is dictated by the available winter light. Lee Kirk from Masons Kings kindly braved the cold as starter for the day. Going into round 3, Lee Marels (Dartmouth) was ahead with 13 points from Ben Sclater (Warren) with 11, neither of whom managed to finish in the points at Tavistock. Sam Dunn (Warren) scored 38 points to win the 10 points from Chris Howard (Tavistock) and Will Farley (Torquay) both with 37 points.
