Tim Elliott, Alex Edge and Wade Lowrie shared victory after each finishing up with rounds of three-under par 66.
"It's been a while since I've had a win, so it feels really great right now to have a W back on the board," Lowrie said after the round.
"I started the day out with a birdie, was able to get up and down a few times to save par and didn't miss many greens."
The only blemish on Lowrie's card was a bogey on the par-three sixth
"I managed to stay out of any major trouble all day and around here you can find yourself in some tricky situations if you're offline," Lowrie said.
"Overall I'm happy to have put in a solid round and to share the win alongside Edgey and Timmy who are both solid players."
Edge was also thrilled to have a win next to his name.
"It's always a nice feeling not having to scroll down the leaderboard to find your name," Edge laughed.
"The last couple of years have been tough, especially with COVID so we're all just thankful to be back out playing."
Edge said putting had been a focus ahead of the round.
"I did a fair bit of work last week to sort my putting out and not get down on myself after small mistakes," he said.
"During the round I just kept my head above water and didn't do anything too outrageous.
"The trick was playing aggressively on certain holes to make sure you give yourself a chance at making birdies."
Elliott only had one dropped shot for the day on the par-three 16th and like his fellow winners he managed to stay out of major trouble.
"I was hitting it straight all day," he said.
"I was amazed to learn three-under was enough after hearing stories about Kris Mueck shooting a 59 a few years ago, I thought a big number would be needed.
"Overall thrilled with the win, it's been a while."
In addition to the win, the trio also shared their praise for the work of the club's volunteers and the top condition of the course.
Edge said it was a buzz to play alongside two of the club's members, Lex Johnstone and Ruth Iser.
"There were volunteers all over the course helping us and it was great to see their pride and enjoyment in holding the event," Edge said.
Axedale's own Kris Mueck finished at one-over par to tie for 16th, while the second best score for the day was two-under (Ryan Lynch, Mitch Brown, Ben Ford, Adam Burdett and David McKenzie) who finished T4.
The action continues tomorrow for the Evolution Print Copy Solutions Neangar Park Pro-Am.
In the field includes Axedale 2021 winner Edge, Neangar Park club professional Dean Dixon, former event winner Ryan Lynch and local favourite Mueck.
