Haydn and Liz Snow took the overall Monday Morning Mingles crown for the second season running after topping the final round of the winter series.

Last Monday saw 32 golfers turn out for the Mingles end-of-season competition which was followed by a meal and presentations.

The format for the final day was a fourball Florida scramble which was won by the quartet of Haydn and Liz Snow with Dennis Dayman and Alison Gatwood who carded a very creditable score of 44.6.
