A new year of golf got under way at Bovey Tracey with the new captains’ drive-in, followed by a captain versus vice-captain four-ball better-ball team competition.

The 2018 captains – men’s Simon Fisher (left), Tracy Crooks (ladies’) and Malcolm Diggines (seniors’) ­ ­– all struck good drives before leading the gathering of 32 players to tee off.

Despite a fairly hard frost and a cold wind, everybody enjoyed the challenge, which resulted in the honours being shared at four games each.
