A fun competition was played by the Honiton ladies, writes John Pawley.

The format was three-ball better ball with two scores to count over 14 holes.

Mild, but with a chilly wind meant that scoring was pretty good. Ann Trayling, Stephani Barnes and Susan Hyde came out on top with their 53 points – their prizes were mini Christmas trees.

The runners-up, with 52 points, were Anne Davies, Sue Kelson and Catherine Hunt, each winning a Christmas wreath.

There were also hidden prizes for the best points score on any hole, with two teams achieving seven points.

Afterwards, Liz Rogers was the winner of the Christmas hat competition, judged by Golf Club bar manager Andras.
