A large field of 26 teams competed, vying for a host of prizes in golf and novelty events.
The winning men’s team comprised Geoff Bessell, Ron Turner, Jaryd Sommerfeld and Gary Davies with a net 57, from runners-up Oliver Dellwo, M Burge and the Kenney-Herbert brothers.
In the mixed competition it was Ricky and Lyn Bond, combined with Matthew Pussell and David Connolly who recorded a one shot win over Graeme Willoughby, who teamed up with the Campbells and Colleen Henderson.
But the big winner was Motor Neurone Disease research, which continues to benefit from this annual golf club fundraiser.
