Perfect weather for Wackers
Weipa turned on the weather when 19 players battled the front nine at Carpentaria Golf Club on 4 June.
While there was no sign of Magic Mick Cerneka, the Wackers family welcomed new player Richie Hansen.
Lenny Dick (46/27.5) was the best on the day, with Gary Head (49/31.5) taking runner-up honours.
Rob Richardson (7th) and Dick (9th) won the pin prizes.
Scott Andrews put on a spectacular performance of pretending to be sick when his game went to the dogs and he realised he was going to take the weekly Bradman’s gong home.
