One hundred and forty-four golfers, the biggest field ever to play in the event, took to the tees at Young Golf Club on Friday last week.
The fairways were full as golfers contested a four-man ambrose which was won by Cameron Jones, Shaun Rolfe, Ben Murray and Mick Ashton.
Organiser Nathan McEvoy said it was all about raising money for the local community.
This year, $10,000 will be split towards supporting Young's Country Education Foundation and the Donges Supa IGA bushfire relief effort.
"We're sending $5000 towards the Country Education Foundation who do a wonderful job and hopefully another $5000 to Donges IGA," he said.
"What they've done in the IGA network is really good. Working together and with community members from bushfire-affected communities and turning vouchers into real time support."
Mr McEvoy thanked ongoing supporters of the event.
"The whole day is heavily backed by businesses who sponsor us. The support has been amazing over the past 10 years," he said.
A perpetual trophy is awarded each year to either the firies, ambulance or police.
