Despite a bitterly cold wind, 71 Honiton Golf Club Seniors embarked on their annual Captain vs Vice Captain match-play competition.

Pairs of players had been hand-picked by the opposing team leaders, Rob Sexton and Bob Graham, and the early indications were that the Captain’s team would prevail, winning three of the first four matches, but canny pairings by his Vice gradually closed the gap, finally eclipsing the Captain’s team total to win 10 games to 6, with two halved.
