Sixteen Dawnbusters crossed clubs in the fight to claim the What Fishing Comp Cup at Carpentaria Golf Club on 8 June.
Scott Andrews (nett 16) took home the winner’s chocolates after a not-so-fishy 43 off the stick – the lowest score of the day – and his handicap triumphed to beat Jon Dall (56/16) on countback.
Andrew said he owed this win to the Dawnbusters veteran and weekly bridesmaid for “his constant sledging, fatherly advice and tips on golf”.
Had Dall heeded his own golfing advice, perhaps a countback would not have been needed.
Peter Kenny and Viv Chan won the men’s and women’s long drive gongs.
Chelsie Buckley put her name on the Hoffman’s, while the wily Dave Sands had his short game on target to collect the nearest to the pin prize.
Players will test their resilience on the back nine on 15 June for the Beer Day Britain Cup, with Steve “Pom” Kennett kindly offering to supply the field with lukewarm beer.
The on-course chaos will get under way from about 6:45am.
