After an eight-year absence from the game, it took Kerry Boshammer only two games to get back into a winning swing when she claimed the Dawnbusters crown at Carpentaria Golf Club on 23 June.
Winter solstice meant the field of 17 did not tee off until 6:48am, with new player Bruce Brockhurst getting up early to join the Dawnbusters family.
With a handy 48 off the stick, Boshammer secured a big victory with her nett 16, with fellow newcomer Krystal Ellis (net 22) taking runner-up honours.
Ellis’ strong round resulted in her relinquishing her recent grasp on the Hoffman’s gong to Viv Dick, who returned to the clubhouse after shooting 63 off the stick.
Rachel Dick won the women’s long drive, while Simon Ayles put his name on the men’s prize after firing a massive tee shot down the 1st fairway.
Scott Andrews was the best with the short clubs to win nearest to the pin.
