Pure skill was not enough for Dawnbusters honours when Oliver Tata showed his domination on the course at the Carpentaria Golf Club on Sunday (19 April).
Despite hitting his standard 39 off the stick and finishing a clear six shots ahead of his nearest rival, he had to settle for the Bridesmaid behind Leeroy “I need a new driver” Ahmat.
After a shaky start with his first drive failing to make it off the tee block, Ahmat regained his composure to hit a 47 and nett 16 to secure the day’s top prize.
The golfer was the proud recipient of the new Dawnbuster shirts available in Queensland blue, maroon or grey, and joked that his win was due to the peaceful and calm atmosphere offered in the absence of Jim Lucas, who was out in Cairns getting left-handed lessons.
The Hoffman’s went to Mandy Crawford, while Matt Byrne took out the men’s longest drive.
Unfortunately, all performances on the course failed to claim a women’s longest drive or nearest-the-pin prize.
Dawnbusters will take on the back 9 on 26 April for the Anzac Day recovery cup, with an expected tee-off time of about 6:45 am.
