The powerhouse team claimed its fourth Western District Golf Association division one scratch pennant premiership in a row on Sunday.
Captain Blair Prescott was thrilled with the 5-2 victory against Portland at Terang Golf Club.
"The whole day was incredible, the weather, the golf course, everything," he said.
"Both our teams match-up pretty well, we knew it was going to be close, really close and it sort of just fell our way.
"Both teams are pretty strong from 1 to 7, it fell our way, our boys got settled pretty quickly and from the halfway point we were sort of on top in most things."

Prescott has led the side to its past three triumphs.
"I've had so much support through it all, it's actually been quite an easy job just because of the support basically and everyone just enjoys this format of golf and representing Warrnambool," he said.
Prescott was full of praise for the Terang's course.
The Standard earlier this year reported corellas were causing significant damage to it.
"It's unbelievable, I don't know how many staff they would have - I know they wouldn't have as many staff as Warrnambool," he said.
"But the fact is it's just immaculate and I felt really sorry for them for that bird damage on a couple of greens because everything else is absolutely perfect.
"They do a great job for what they have."
It was a good day for the Walker family with brothers Dave and Paul winning in the division one side.
Paul's son Lachie also enjoyed success with Warrnambool's division three scratch team which defeated Portland 4-3.
Division three skipper Matt Jewell also had glowing praise for Terang's course.
"It's a credit to the guys who worked on the course, they've only got one ground staff (member) and all the volunteers and they've had a lot of trouble with the birds destroying the greens, so it's a credit to them," he said.
Jewell said his team was stoked after the win as it came down to the final match.
"Brent (Mahney) was one up with one to go and he pretty much needed to half and he came through for us," he said.
The skipper added another member of the team, Tony Saunders, volunteered to sit out on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Heywood has reached its goal of getting back in division one after its 5-2 victory over Camperdown.
Captain Jayden McLeod said the club was in the top grade some years ago.
"We played solid golf, we played well all year, we only lost the one match and that was last week," he said.
He explained Noah McLeod and Devin Keonig were undefeated through the pennant.
Simon Rogers and Lee Milway were also part of Heywood's team but didn't play on Sunday.
In the handicap results, Camperdown surprised Warrnambool with a 4-1 victory.
Moralla defeated Hamilton 3-2 in the division two handicap and Cobden got the chocolates in division three with a 3-2 win against Timboon.
