The event was a 2 person Ambrose and there were hot pairings lining up on tee 1 with the north easterly behind them.
The husband and wife duo of Melissa and Craig Matthews blew the field away with a low 63 nett.
Both these players have had great form since joining the club and they will no doubt figure highly in the mixed foursomes later this year.
The next best pairing was 2 shots behind with the bruise brothers Max Keith and Michael Thomas hitting long for their 65 just edging out another big hitting combo in Anthony Riach and Finne Latu on 65.25 the same score as the Smith brothers.
