GRIMSBY Golf Club held its Captains Drive-In to mark the inauguration of the new club captain Graham Green.
Two nine-hole Stableford mixed 'am-am' competitions were contested from the first and tenth tees – played off full handicap with the best two to score on each hole.
Wintry, drizzly conditions did not dampen the atmosphere for the 64 players taking part. Eight teams of four played from two tees on each side of the course.
Although the conditions could have been better, the course is still in a first-class state with the greens excellent.
Prizes were awarded to the first four teams playing on each side of the course.
The winning team from the first tee, with 43 Stableford points, were Wendy Douglas, Paul Doughty, Alison Doughty and Alan Douglas.
In second place, with 42 (better back six), were Vince Pederson, Jim Leahy, Spencer Wressell and Phil Taylor.
With the same score, but in third place, were Mike Watson, Keith Goodwin, Mike Beckett and Billy MacCormack.
In fourth, with 40, was Paul and Diane Coutts and Steve and Trudy Owen.
Of those starting on the tenth tee, the winners were Martin Mumby, Nick Cutsforth, Glenn McLachlan and Mark Finney with 44 points.
In second place, with 39, was the team of Andy Neve, Mark Williams, Jack Harding and Andy Williamson.
In third, with 35 (better back six), was Andy and Anna Foster and Pete and Sue Burton. In fourth with 35 was Kim and Brian Cullum and Rowley and Sheila Dunks.
Grimsby's Ladies Section held separate 18-hole and nine-hole Stableford competitions.
The 18-hole competition, for ladies in the silver division, was won by Tracy Wilkinson with 34 points. In second, with 28, was the lady captain Jackie Maconachie.
The bronze division was won by Isobel Goulsbra with 27 – winning on countback from Trudy Owen.
