Teignmouth clinch the Men's South Devon League in an exciting climax to the 2009 season.

The final match of the SDL season was played at Stover on Saturday 3rd October, with second placed Stover hosting the match against top of the table Teignmouth. In an exciting match, with the result not known until close to the end, Teignmouth finally overcame a fighting performance from the home club and became the overall SDL winners for 2009. Teignmouth went into the final match with a slender lead over Stover and needed to win at least three and a half points from a possible nine in order to take the honours. The match was finally halved with four and a half points each, giving Teignmouth a total of 53 points for the season against 50 points for Stover. The Warren were third with 45.5 points. 

Point earners for Teignmouth were Dave Wills & Alan Tolley 4&3, Nick James & Andy Burnham 3&1, Ian Brown & Dave Turner 1 up, Rory Hunt & Bob Collier all square and Jeremy Binch & Ian Wallis 5&3.

The match hinged on Brown & Turner managing to turn around a one hole deficit by winning the last two holes. Also, worth a mention was the hole-in-one achieved by Teignmouth's English International Billy Hemstock on the 8th hole. Despite this ace, and managing birdies on the last two holes, Hemstock & Haskell lost on the 18th when J. Hampton & T. Mitchell holed out for a birdie 3 and win 1 up.

A great end to the season... with fitting celebrations afterwards!!

The SDL 2009 presentations, sponsored by LANGS, will take place at Torquay Golf Club on the evening of Saturday 17th October.

CAPTAIN’S CHARITY DAY

RAISES OVER £3000.

On one of the sunniest days of the year so far, Teignmouth Golf Club enjoyed a superb Captain’s Charity Day in which over £3000 was raised for one of Club Captain John Hall’s chosen charities for his year, that being MacMillan Nursing Care.

John said he was overwhelmed with the generosity of members and sponsors, particularly in these difficult economic times and just could not believe the support he received, not only from the membership within the Club but also local businesses.

John went onto say that, with the excellent help of his wife Mandy and some of the other Lady Members, the draw raffle and auction alone produced nearly £2000. In his speech he did make comment to the superb condition of the golf course and the excellent catering facilities laid on by Andy and Tilli and all her staff.

The day itself focused more on fun than serious golf and there was also other features available on the day including putting and chipping competitions, whilst you could also have your car cleaned by the Junior members whilst you were playing or your clubs cleaned before or after.

In all, the day was a resounding success and a really big thank you to all concerned.

Festival Week  off to a lively start.

A complimentary hot and cold buffet and dance party was held at the clubhouse on Saturday evening to mark the start of our Annual Festival Week. Guests and club members were determined to ignore the cold and wet weather outside and enjoyed a lively and friendly social evening. The five piece band were right on the ball with  their choice of 60’s and  70’s music and the dance floor was ‘jumping and jiving’ all night.

Unfortunately the bad weather persisted overnight and caused the cancellation of the Sunday morning men’s competition. However, play resumed later in the day and the ladies were able to complete the Molly Cayless competition albeit in tough playing conditions

Billy faces tough challenge ahead.

Billy Hemstock heads north to the Southport and Ainsdale links this week in his final attempt to secure a place in the Open Championship. He will be competing against  ninety five other professionals and amateurs to win one of the four qualifying places.

The S&A, as it is known, is a daunting golfing challenge that has been the venue for two Ryder Cup matches and several national championships. We all wish Billy the very best of good fortune.

At the EGM of Devon County Golf Union held at Exeter GCC on 30th June 2008 a decision made at the December AGM was reversed.

For 2009 the County Card scheme will remain at £15 per year and available to be purchased from their own Clubs as in the past

The affiliation fee to DCGU will rise by only £1 to £7.50 per male member

The  proposition was carried by  46 to 25 and Teignmouth were represented by the Vice Captain and General Manager

SIZZLING SUMMER BALL

Over ninety members and guests enjoyed a wonderful evening of dinner and dance recently on the occasion of Teignmouth Golf Club’s annual black tie Summer Ball.

Upon arrival we were greeted with a refreshing summer Pimms and within no time at all we were tucking into a superb four course meal of salmon fillet, Devon lamb steak and mouth watering summer berry pavlova. All prepared in house by our own qualified chefs and served by Caroline’s friendly and efficient staff.

When dinner was nearly over, Paul Brinton, the Club captain and his good lady Janet, took to the floor to get the dancing underway. The unusually named Quinious Action seven piece band and singers were magnificent and kept the dance floor packed until the early hours – all in all a fantastic evening.

Several members have written in to say what a really good time they had and the overall feedback is ‘can’t wait for the next one’. If you missed out on this occasion make sure you check the notice board. There are lots of entertaining evenings being arranged for you and your families.
