Thirty three men chose to go in the event, with Trevor Cripps topping the field, in second place was Glen Trask, third was Darren Van Dyk, fourth place went to Keith Gauthier, while Jim Peterson took the final spot.
The closest to the pin were won by John Panagrot on No. 2, Glen Trask took home $29 for his Charity closest to the pin on No. 4, Dennis Debolt on No. 13 and Wayne Johnston on No. 17. There was no winner on the hidden hole this week, which means there is a $300 carry over next week.
