Brandon Waretini combined a strong gross round and healthy Dawnbusters handicap to post a comfortable win at Carpentaria Golf Club on 27 July.
A small field of 10 went head-to-head on the back nine, with Waretini returning to the clubhouse with 47 off the stick for a nett 17 to take the chocolates.
Dawnbusters patriarch Viv Dick (58/21) managed to bag both runner-up honours and the coveted Hoffman’s bragging rights for the round.
Scott Triffitt continued his run of good form to post the best gross score of the morning with 42.
Cape York Weekly understands Mick “Magic Apples” Cerneka was lucky to keep his hands on the men’s long drive, with his shot being passed by both Waretini and Grant Crossley, however, neither remained on the fairway, a situation that triggered protests and general whinging from certain players.
Viv Chan won the women’s long drive.
Waretini capped off a good morning on the course by snaring the pin prize.
Dawnbusters will tackle the front nine on 2 August, with new golfers always welcome to join in when the first group tees off about 6:45am.
