Beasley, who was reigning club champion, shot a round of 76 to finish with a total of 290 after the four rounds. His brother Trevor finished as runner-up after a round of 86 to finish on 329.
The Terang resident adds the 2018 title to his 2008, 2011-13, 2015 and 2017 titles, putting him in uncharted territory on the clubs honour board.
“This year was a bit easier than I would thought it would be,” he said.
“I played as good as I've ever played to finish two over par after the four rounds and eight shots better than I've done previously, so i'm happy with that.”
When asked whether number eight was achievable, Beasley had a straight answer.
“Why not, I’ll still be about and I'll always give it a go,” he said.
Jason Black took out the B-grade with a round of 79 (337 total) to finish four shots ahead of Neale Grundy.
Riley Scanlon collected the C-grade the win with a round of 93 to finish on 367, 23 shots clear of Tyler Beasley.
Scanlon also collected the John Petrusch Memorial for the best nett score across all grades in the championships, with a nett score of 255, 23 ahead of Phil Beasley.
