After the usual challenge of finding a parking spot near the Tavistock clubhouse, on entering the bar area one was greeted with a sea of red shirted Dorset Captains who had played at Looe Golf Club the previous day.
As Devon Golf Captains were a man down due to a computer “glitch” and Dorset had a similar problem the Captains hastily rearranged the matches to accommodate all those present and John Hirst was recruited for the opposition!
The Tavistock catering team provided lots of sandwiches and plenty of chips prior to the golf and the warm weather provided the ideal golfing environment and shorts were definitely the order of the day.
From conversations after the golf it was obvious that everyone enjoyed the course and all the wildlife on it and were more than ready for a refreshing cold drink. One of the Dorset players in the final match had a hole in one and generously provided a bottle of port for everyone’s enjoyment as an after dinner drink.
And so after a good meal and the usual brief speeches the Dorset lads set off for the long drive home – three hours for some of them!
