Shanklin and Sandown Golf Club tournament attracts 33 teams
A major annual golf tournament attracted 33 teams, including some from across the Solent.
The event, held at Shanklin and Sandown Golf Club, featured the popular ninth Hole Challenge.
Organised by club professional Peter Hammond, this part of the competition allows players to deposit between £5 and £100 in the pro shop.
If they successfully hit the green and par the hole, Hammond doubles their deposit.
If not, their deposit remains in their pro shop account until they choose to spend it.
The competition concluded with a meal prepared by the club's chef, Liam Hill.
The winning team, from Shanklin and Sandown, comprised Kenny Crane, Luke Hatch, Matt Taylor, and Dave Wilson, who scored 123.
Each winner received a Titleist lightweight cart bag.
The runners-up, also from Shanklin and Sandown, were Stephen King, Chris Lee, Ian Miles, and Mike Ward, who scored 122.
