Pheasant said: "A great day was had by our members, who took part and loved the forward thinking competition Callaway, Odyssey and Golf Monthly have formed. The online tweeting and Facebook marketing has been brilliant and my eventual winner Dan is over the moon to be going to Rockliffe Hall."

Haywards Heath Golf Club, Sussex

Winner: Jack Floydd Runner-up: Matthew Hollis

Hosted by PGA Professional Simon Iliffe, Haywards Heath staged an eight-hole strokeplay challenge, with holes of varying lengths and difficulties.
