wookie finished third with 37 points, Liverbirdie shot a seven-over-par 77 to land the best gross score and sawtooth claimed the longest drive accolade on the 18th hole.
Guest Bill McGarry won a BMW for the weekend following his tee shot to five inches at the par-3 8th, the nearest the pin hole, while Liverbirdie, PhiltheFragger, GeneralStore and Swinger won the blind tee event.
But, more importantly, the day raised more than £15,000 for Help for Heroes, with auctioneer Mark Head once again leading a thoroughly enjoyable auction.
