The Autumnal Auction at Gosfield Lake Golf Club produced another exciting finish.
The winning card of victorious pair Ivan Harris and Gary Lewis completely blew away the scorecards already in the clubhouse.
This end of season annual event is popular with members because it is a drawn competition that brings together players of varying handicaps with the cumulative stableford score deciding the winners.
When the pairs are drawn a Calcutta-type auction takes place among all the contestants with each of the 40 pairs being assigned to the highest bidder.
In glorious golfing weather the 80 golfers began with a shotgun start.
