And after the last ball had been sunk at Bentham Golf Course, it was announced that the teams had raised an impressive £8,000 for the good cause.
The donation will now help the Teenage Cancer Trust in its work to improve the cancer experience of young people throughout their treatment.
The cheque was presented to Emma Cross, the charity's philanthropy manager, by golf club owners
Thomas and Jane Marshall, along with key figures from the club.
Thomas said that he and club members were moved to organise the tournament by the experience of a young member of staff who was diagnosed last year with non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
She joined the business three years ago and is continuing to work for the club whilst receiving treatment for the disease which affects the body's immune system.
The £8,000 was raised by a combination of entry fees paid by the 72 players, a raffle, the day's profits from the course's golf shop, and donations which continued to come in after the match.
In addition, Riverside Caravan Park, also owned by Thomas and Jane, donated £10.00 for each birdie – a score one under par - achieved by players during the match.
There were 270 birdies notched up in total, meaning the park's donation came to £2,700.00.
"We knew in advance that the tournament was being very well supported, but everyone was both surprised and delighted when the final figure was calculated," said Thomas.
"The donation will go to help the work of a very worthy cause which has reached out to a valued members of our team from the start, and continues to be there for her during her treatment.
"The club's donation will help the charity train and fund NHS staff to become teenage cancer specialists, and also support its work in helping patients cope with their condition.
"We're grateful to everyone who played a part in making this tournament the huge success it was, and especially to our club team for their hard work behind the scenes," said Thomas.
Bentham Golf Course recently celebrated its centenary, but 20 years ago its future was in grave doubt after membership numbers dwindled and income plummeted.
When the Marshall family heard of its plight, they decided to step in and buy the club to save it from falling into administration, and to give it a head-to-toes makeover.
Improvements included the building of a new clubhouse with a top-class restaurant and bar, a driving range, golf shop, and extensive landscaping.
A development of luxury lodges and glamping facilities, called Wenningdale Escapes, was also created and which provides accommodation for visiting players and non-golfing visitors.
The changes have brought about a success story and won a prestigious reputation for the club as one of the best appointed and most spectacularly sited courses in the county.
