AS usual there was a crowded club house for Tavistock Golf Club’s  annual presentation evening.   

Among the successful trophy winners for 2016, there was an unusual recipient called Tansy, a seven-year-old Springer spaniel. 

Lady captain Gail Reed told members that throughout the year Tansy had found dozens of balls on her walks with her owners Tony and Jill Millichamp. 

‘Jill scrubbed and washed the balls’, said Gail, ‘and were sold to members for 50p and, to date, £195 has been raised and donated to my charity, Pancreatic Cancer Action.  Tansy certainly deserves her award!’
