| ROBERT MUXLOW partnered Andy Russell to deciding frame win |
Robert Muxlow and Dave Martin put the home team 2-0 up before Strutt's Justin Weller scored a black ball success in frame three to keep his side in the hunt.
Andy Russell, aided by a 35 break, made it 3-1 before the first two scotch doubles both went the way of the visitors to tie things up.
But ultimately Russell and Muxlow held firm in the concluding leg to get them off to a winning start.
Ian McKay was unbeaten in three frames during the Golf Club's success but only the scotch doubles pairing of Keith Robertson and Ian Peacock could respond for the vanquished.
Edgefold No 2 scored a second victory in as many games in Group A, 4-3 at Matlock Club with Tom Chambers remaining undefeated on the night. Paul Holmes top scored for the home team.
And in the Alfreton derby, the No 1 team saw off the No 2 outfit 5-2 with Andrew Beardsley (30 break), Simon Mayes and Jamie Rowland all in sublime form while John Smith was the top No 2 hotshot.
