MINEHEAD and West Somerset Golf Club hosted the final round of the Captain’s Winter 4 Ball Competition on Sunday which was the culmination of six rounds played over the course of the winter months.

Martin Hole (Men’s Captain), in keeping with tradition, set the formats for the competition. This year, a mixed set was played to maintain interest throughout. The best four results per pairing were aggregated to compute the overall standings.

Many congratulations go to the winning pair of Glenn Ross and Daniel Ross who managed two second places, one third and one fourth to claim the shield. As a footnote, it has been 35 years since Glenn last won the event; that being in its second year (1999) then partnering Steve Plenty.
