This spring Treloy Golf men’s section played in the Annadota Matchplay competition which has replaced the Daily Mail Classic golf matchplay competition. Club captain Nigel Strawbridge selected two teams to lead us into the first round.

The men took to the first tee at 11.30 with five pairs playing, First-out Treloy’s Mark Marshall against Lanhydrock Brian Hancock 7&5 to M.Marshall, Next up Carl Langslow (t) against Mark Jones (l), Carl won 4&3, third pair Simon Deakin (t) vs. Roger Whitehead (l), simon winning 6&5, 4th pairing Luke Holmes (t) versus Martin Nicholas (l) tight game to the 18th finishing 1 up to Martin Nicholas, final pairing Rick Hamilton (t) versus Colin Willis (l), with Rick winning 4&3.
