SOUTH WEST SENIORS CHAMPIONSHIP

EAST DEVON GOLF CLUB

THURSDAY 25TH & FRIDAY 26TH JULY 2013

The South West Seniors Championship was hosted this year by East Devon Golf Club which despite the heatwave was in excellent condition although with a stiff breeze on both days the hard, bouncy course proved to be a real test for the players with no sub-par round on either day. Everyone was full of praise for the condition of the greens which were fast and true. Devon qualified for the English Seniors' County Championship despite one of their team having to withdraw injured from the second which meant that all five score from the remainder of the team had to count. This success meant that Devon has had a clean sweep in 2013 having also qualified for the Boys' and Men's County Championships
