Dainton Park welcomed Woodbury Park for Match 5 and the half way point of the Dartmoor League season. Conditions were far from straightforward as players had to contend with scorching temperatures and a stiff breeze that made club selection a constant challenge throughout the afternoon.

The opening match saw Matt Taylor & Connor Bagnall battle hard in a closely fought contest. Despite plenty of good golf, Woodbury Park edged the crucial moments to take the match 3&2, giving the visitors an early point.

The second pairing of Rob Bishop & James Sanders produced one of the tightest matches of the day. Locked together for much of the front nine, the Dainton duo stayed patient before producing a superb finish on the back nine, pulling 1 clear heading up to 18 and closing the match out.

Momentum was firmly with the home side after that, and the third and fourth pairings made sure of it in emphatic fashion. Calum Cadman & Phil Taylor flew out of the blocks, never allowing their opponents back into the match as they wrapped up a commanding 6&5 win. Alongside them, Dan Taylor & Mark Proctor were equally impressive, matching that dominant performance with another convincing 6&5 victory after controlling their match from start to finish.

The final match on the course featured Glenn Holmes & Tom Buckler, who were involved in another closely contested battle. Although it remained tight throughout, they were never behind at any stage and kept applying pressure before sealing a deserved 2&1 win on the 17th hole.

Dainton Juniors were on top form this weekend.....

Saturday saw round 3 of the JSDL at on 11th July. With a lot of the regular players unavailable, we handed 5 players their debut to represent Dainton Park in the JSDL.

The weather was hot, and the course was in great condition for some good scores, which is exactly what our players did.

First up were our knockout players:

Gabriel Gillingwater winning his match 2&1.

But unfortunately for Ben Sanders, he lost his match, with him having to give his opponent 3 shots. Unfortunately, it was always going to be a hard match for him to win, but he was up for the challenge. Well done, Ben.

Stableford scores:

Harry Fuller 33
Adrian Pratt 37
Debut Freddie Hammond 37
Debut Cohen Derrick 46
Debut Harry Evan’s 33

Reserves:
Debut Frankie Robertson 34
Debut Arthur Woods 38

Big well done to all the players and a special shout out to Cohen Derrick winning best net score and Arthur Woods winning best reserve on the day.
Scores on the day were:

1st Dainton Park 153
2nd Torquay 138
3rd Stover 129
4th Churston 124
5th Teignmouth 116

New league standings after 3 events:
1st Stover 14.5
2nd Dainton Park 13
3rd Churston 10.5
4th Torquay 9
5th Teignmouth 4.5

Next round at Churston on 16th August!

Sunday was the Woodbury Junior Open with Gabe, Harry F, Harry E and Cohen representing the club. They all scored 30+ points with Gabe & Harry F finishing top 10 in Division 1.

An excellent weekend of golf for Dainton Juniors and a very exciting remainder of the season ahead.

The Dainton B team played against Teignmouth on the 11th July with the ambition of turning around a 5:2 defeat earlier in the season.

After a great breakfast the lads were ready to do battle on our home of golf which was in great condition. They were playing against an on paper strong Teignmouth squad in very hot conditions.

There were a few missing from the recent positive results home/away against Torquay but there were plenty of willing reserves ready to step up!

Result was Dainton 6.5, Teignmouth 0.5.

This puts Dainton 8 points clear at the top of the league table.

Special thanks to Shaun Prior for supporting the team today, bringing additional water and for the on course score reporting.

This squad moves on to play away against the Warren on the 25th July. It's worth a watch if you can support!!.
