NOVEMBER has seen the start of the winter ‘ringer’ competition in the Minehead and West Somerset Golf Club Ladies Section.

This is run every Saturday morning by the current ladies’ captain Ginnette Bowyer until the end of March.

As well as a separate competition each week the ‘ringer’ entails each player throughout this period ‘banking’ what they consider to be their best score on each hole.

Once they have banked it it cannot be changed. Their handicap, at the end of the period, is taken off the total and the lowest score is the winner.
