Pom topples big Wackers field
Pom emerged triumphant from a bumper field of 22 golfers when the weekly dose of Wackers returned to Weipa on 12 March.
With the exception of one shower, fine weather blanketed the Carpentaria Golf Club course, with Pom’s nett 29.5 providing clear air to take home the winner’s chocolates over runner-up PK, who carded a nett 32.5.
Matt Byrne bagged the 7th hole pin prize, while no one could bother the scorers on hole nine.
Bruce Brockhurst claimed the Bradman’s on countback from Grant Crossley.
