LOVE was not in the air when the women of Douglas Golf Club invited the men to play in the annual Valentine’s Day Massacre competition last week, resulting in 27 hardy golfers taking to the course.
The completion was reduced to just 13 holes as the players braved gale-force winds to take part in a fourball betterball Am-Am.
The scores reflected the playing conditions with the eventual winners being Muriel Cain and Jack Shimmin with a very creditable total of 33 points.
The runners-up were Jackie Murley and Tony Gerrard with 28 and in third place also with 28, but having lost out on countback, were Jackie Clague and Rod Jones.
