Welcome to Devon County Ladies' Golf Association

COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP 2012 

Emma Tayler receiving Championship Trophy from Jane Easterbrook
The first day of the Devon Championship was one of the toughest rounds that has ever been played, high winds and extremely tricky pin positions caught lots of competitors out and consequently scoring was high. Charlotte Dommett struggled in the morning but put together a brilliant round of  gross 77 in the afternoon when the CSS went up to 79. Kate Blake playing in her first championship off 12 handicap played some fine golf and was one of the rare competitors to play under her handicap. The draw was made late Friday night and is posted on the Championship Day 2 webpage. The ladies have woken to a beautiful sunny day today and the wind seems calmer although we know that Saunton can change very quickly. The championship starts at 9am with the  Lloyd  Williams Salver starting at 10am.
On the second day of the Devon Championship, the weather conditions improved considerably and all the competitors settled down to the matchplay stages. Emma Tayler had an impressive 8 and 7 victory in the morning and then went on to beat Leah Roelich in a closely fought battle 2 and 1.  Abbie Moyes played some great golf winning 7/6  and 3/2 in the afternoon.  Abby Turner and Molly Haslam are the other semi finalists .  In the Lloyd Williams Salver Jayne Wright will play Stacey Ford , and Vicky Holloway will play Lucy Leatham. Play starts at 9am so be there early to see some great golf. All results from the first 2 days are on the Championship page.  

The third day brought wonderful weather which in turn produced the best golf of the week . Emma Tayler had a comfortable win over Abby Turner who has just recently returned to golf  but shows great promise and guaranteed a place in the Devon team.  The two youngsters and friends Abbie Moyes and Molly Haslam found it difficult to play against each other but Molly was victorious in the end.  In  the final of the Championship home player Emma took full advantage of her local knowledge winning in great style 7/6.

The Lloyd Williams Salver was hotly contested- Vicky Holloway had her best round of the week beating Lucy Leatham 9/7. In the other Semi final  the experienced Jayne Wright beat the youngster Stacey Ford 6/5.  The final went to the 18th hole which saw Jayne Wright take the trophy.

At the prizegiving in the evening the county team was announced - Emma Tayler (Saunton)  Molly Haslam (Torquay)  Abbie Moyes (Tiverton) Abby Turner (Okehampton) Leah Roelich(Teignmouth) Charlotte Dommett(Torquay) Ely Walmsley(Holsworthy) Jo Shorrocks(Bigbury) Lauren Pearce(Exminster) Chloe Howard (Boringdon Park) Alison Down (Saunton) Jess Bradley(Tiverton) with Nicky Kedge, Vicky Holloway and Gilly Jarvis as non travelling reserves.
