LADIES from Lyme Regis Golf Club played their traditional Santas v Elves nine-hole competition in freezing temperatures last week.

The 31 players, representing the broad spectrum of experience and golf handicaps within the club, took part in a three-ball Bowmaker (2 Stableford scores counting from 3).

The golf was followed by much-needed and warming mulled wine and mince pies.

Lady Captain Mary Minter organised the event and later presented both the winning Elves team as well, as the runners up, with a small but welcome prize.

The competition came a few days after the ladies section enjoyed their annual Christmas lunch where a turkey carvery was served with all the trimmings.

Guest speaker at the event was LymeOnline and Nub News editor Francesca Evans, who spoke about her career in local journalism.
