Each club would compete with three teams and is required to play six matches on each of the five match days that saw defending champions (Forbes Club) lead the league table on match day one with 14 points after total score of 505.
Golden Putterz came second with 13 points and 512 total score, while Nutterz Putterz followed up closely in third position with same 13 points and 514 points.
