Jamie Hutton proved he was adept with the big and little sticks by bagging the men’s long drive and nearest to the pin gongs when 18 Dawnbusters teed off at Carpentaria Golf Club on Sunday morning. Photo: Cape York Weekly.
Eighteen players ignored muggy and still conditions in the quest for Christmas pork at the annual Dawnbusters Leg of Ham event on 15 December.
John Martin brought home the bacon to claim the prize with nett 18, with runner-up Jim Lucas carding nett 20 to return to the car as a pork roast-carrying bridesmaid.
Rounding out a protein-filled day morning on the course, Natalie Donahue bagged the Hoffman’s and a frozen chicken.
Jamie Hutton was impressive in securing both the men’s long drive and nearest to the pin prizes.
Rachel Dick continued her big-hitting ways to claim the women’s long drive for the second week in a row.
Humble in victory, 43-marker Martin said he believed he was always in with a chance with such a high handicap.
Dawnbusters will contest the back nine at Carpentaria Golf Club from about 6am on 22 December, and then the front nine the following week to cap off the Sunday morning excitement for 2024.
