The event was a stableford with a scratch score held in conjunction and good scoring was returned in all three grades.
Darren Hunter who plays off a handicap of 1, again showed why he has been one of the top golfers in the club for many years.
He shot a two under par 70 to amass 39 points and take out the A grade voucher.
His round saw him register five birdies and his 21 points on the back nine saw him count out runner up Mitch Luka (6) who also finished with 39 points.
The scratch stableford prize went to Justin Nelson (1) with a score of 37 points.
The B grade voucher was won by Lachlan Sharp (10) with a score of 40 points. Sharp is a relatively new golfer to competition golf and looks to be taking his hockey prowess onto the golf fairways.
