Well done Anthony Summers, Phil Emery and Ronnie Puiatti.
And to top it off there was a FOUR-way tie in the PGA event.
After four days of perfect weather nothing separated professionals Scott Laycock, Adam Bland, Anthony Summers and Aaron Townsend with a winning score of 152 points.
So how do you determine a winner when there is little time for a play-off ??? Obvious really !!
An old fashioned game of "Paper, Scissor, Rock".
Only joking. They were announced joint-winners and they were chased all the way to the last hole by the best field in the Meriton's history. The 200 amateur golfers that competed had the pleasure of playing with, practising with and/or dining with the likes of Brendan Jones, Peter O'Malley, Paul Gow, David McKenzie, Steven Bowditch, and Andre Stolz.
The ALPG section of the event was a little more one-way traffic with Sarah Oh showing her class running away with the crystal and winner's cheque for $3,500 with an emphatic 20 point win.
With more than $40,000 worth of prizes and trophies on offer for the amateurs, it was Team McIntosh (Brad McIntosh PGA, Tom Brady, Seamus Delahunty and James Brady) who proved victorious, and with a winning score of 352 points and walked away with the Bushnell Rangefinders.
Team Basic, comprising Nevan Basic PGA, Mike O'Toole, Matt Reilly and Andy Laidlaw played solid golf all week and scored a nine point victory in the Team Scratch event, and Brett Usher and Rhonda Mitchell won the individual amateur events.
On Friday night the event concluded with a Gala Charity dinner for 360 people at Dockside, Cockle Bay and with entertainment from Tom Burlinson the evening concluded with a cheque for $50,000 presented by Rhonda Triguboff to Professor Kathryn North from the Westmead Children's Hospital.
