A team from law firm Simcocks won the Isle of Man Ship Registry’s golf day.

They took first place in the team stableford Am-Am, racking up 96 points.

James Lowery led the way for Simcocks with an individual total of 43 points, which was good enough for first place in the individual competition.

The event, a fundraiser for charity, took place at the Rowany golf course near Port Erin in good weather. It was postponed for two weeks because of bad weather.

Nine teams took part.

The 2017 winners, Dohle Corporate and Trust Services I, claimed second place.

Chris Lee was Dohle’s stand out player as he scored heavily on the back nine on his way to a score of 39 and joint second place in the individual standings.

Knox House Trust claimed the final podium place for the second consecutive year.

A highlight of the day occurred on the par three 13th where Simcocks’ Kevin O’Loughlin made the first hole in one in the competition’s history.

Simcocks footed the substantial bar bill afterwards.

John Bateson was the only man able to prevent a Simcocks sweep of the prizes.

The Dohle team captain claimed the remaining pin prize on the 149-yard 8th hole as he struck a short iron within a few feet of the flagstick.

The Ship Registry expect the final sum raised to be around £1,500, which will be donated to the King George V Fund for Sailors at the forthcoming Trafalgar Ball.

A number of local companies sponsored the event.
