Three-club win for Smith
Eighteen players tackled the front nine at Carpentaria Golf Club with empty bags when Wackers held a three-club challenge on 30 July.
Jake Smith shot 53 off the stick for a winning nett 34 after a countback with runner-up Rhiannan Crossley, who was in the hunt after firing off a gross 55.
Smith used a putter, 9-iron and 7-iron for the round to claim three-club bragging rights.
Eddy Tiemens showed off a new set of sticks but could only use three of them, and clearly selected the wrong ones for the challenge.
New player Paiwan Lui bagged the pin prize on the 7th hole, while Mick Foy was the closest on the 9th.
Peter Kenny, who took home the winner’s chocolates last week, had to settle for the Bradman’s this time around.
Mt Carbine set to buck
All Far North Queensland rodeo roads will lead to Mount Carbine this weekend.
The Mount Carbine Rodeo Association is hosting its 2025 Bull and Bronc Ride on 9 August, with hundreds of cowboys, cowgirls and rodeo fans set to converge on the community’s rodeo grounds.
There will be events for competitors of all ages, with the $1,500 open bull ride, $1,500 open saddle bronc and $1,200 bushman’s saddle bronc shaping up to be crowd favourites.
Gates open at 12pm on Saturday, with the chutes set to fly open from 5pm.
