prizes to the 4 winners & half goes to ABF Devon. The Waterloo Putting Challenge costs £1 per player. This competition on the carefully reset practice putting green is a gentle reminder that both pace and line will be needed later. Similarly, the Beat the Pro competition costs £1 per player. Those surpassing the Pro’s shot to the green will be entered in a draw to take place during the prize giving.

the Men’s and Ladies’ Team of Three 18 Hole Stableford competitions will be all 3 players’ individual scores added together which will not only reveal the complete performance of the team
but also ease the task of marking the cards. Individuals not bringing others to make up a team of
three are asked to nominate on the Application Form with whom they would like to play.
