Hello golfers,
I trust this finds you well and you all had a great Easter and didn't over indulge on the choccy?! We had a busy weekend here at the Valley with plenty of golfers taking to the course to play. The course is really starting to take shape now after some very tough weather conditions. We have under taken a course of treatment on the greens and we will now over the next couple of weeks really start to see them putting superbly well. As we approach May the playing schedule will get very busy with lots of varying competitions for all sections to partake in. Hopefully the weather will be kind to us and allow all of us it play lots of golf this season. It will also allow us to carry out all our member initiatives that we have planned.
A man on form
Brian Barron is enjoying a hot spell of golf at the moment. Our favourite Geordie has recorded scores of 37pts in the Teignagers Stableford last week and 42pts in the men's Stableford on Saturday. In the process he has reduced his handicap by 2 shots, well done Brian.
Teign Valley Team success
The past week saw both the men's section and ladies section secure wins in their respective team matches. The men's A Team started their Dartmoor League campaign at home to Thurlestone on Saturday and recorded a fine 5-0 win. The ladies Presidents Team then travelled to Yelverton on Monday a notoriously difficult place to get a result and managed to record a brilliant 5-2 victory. Well done to both teams.
