Hendon'S Mark Tomlinson, John Smith, Donald McLeod and John Welch, won the inaugural Swing for Sammy charity tournament at Muswell Hill.
The quartet finished with a total of 91 stableford points, beating a team which included Muswell's champion Steve Walsom into second place by two points at Rhodes Avenue.
The tournament raised over £16,000 for cancer-related charities - £11,000 more than the organisers had originally targeted.
The event, staged in memory of Samantha Trow - who recently lost her battle against cancer at the age of 26 - attracted 172 players, including a dozen professionals.
