There was double disappointment for the army at the Inter-Services Golf Championships as they missed out on the senior honours at Saunton Golf Club.
Challenging weather conditions added to the difficulty on the course, and it was the Royal Navy who adapted best to secure both team crowns.
Having claimed a comfortable win over the Royal Air Force, the soldiers slipped to an 8-7 defeat in the men’s final and there was another close affair in the women’s showpiece, where the army suffered an agonising 6.5-5.5 loss.
