Unusually dry and hot conditions had to be contended with when 11 golfers stepped up to the tee block for the latest instalment of Dawnbusters on 27 April.
Despite returning to the clubhouse with 46 off the stick, not one of his best Sunday morning efforts, the newly-married Matt Byrne celebrated his nuptials by claiming a narrow victory with nett 19, relegating Steve Kennett to catch the bouquet in second spot with nett 20.
Club manager Lil McKeown swapped the clubhouse for the fairways in her maiden Dawnbusters outing and bagged the women’s long drive and Hoffman’s honours for her effort.
The men’s longest drive went to Lucas Duvenhage, who dusted off his clubs for his first game of Dawnbusters for the season.
Jim Lucas showed a deft touch from the 18th tee box to land his shot on the green and take the weekly pin prize.
There will be no Dawnbusters this weekend due to the 2025 Weipa Goodline Open, but players will be back on the course from about 6:45am on 11 May.
