Not even the smoke-ladened greens and fairways brought on by early-morning fire and rescue mop-up crews, could deter Sunday’s Dawnbusters – or the flies!

Seventeen intrepid players took on Carpentaria Golf Course as the bushfire that had burnt at the club’s perimeter for two days threatened to reignite.

Scott Andrews returned to form hitting a personal Dawnbusters best of 40 after last week’s 53. Eight golfers came in with 45 or under for the morning.

Peter Kenny won the day with 43, repeating last week’s score but grabbing top honours this week.

PK put his success down to a lack of sleep due to work and finally finding a ball that would do what it was told.

Leroy Ahmat, proud recipient of the “Bridesmaid” award, hit his second best Dawnbusters score with 45 off the stick. This makes it two runners-up awards as Leroy continues to seek the illusive Dawnbusters polo shirt.

Beth Dall claimed the Hoffman’s award.

Jamie Hutton put his drive just in front of the 1st green to take out the men’s longest drive. Vivian Chan won women’s longest drive for the second week in a row – her 18th time this year!

Scott Triffit claimed Nearest the Pin.

Dawnbusters will take on the front 9 this Sunday 26 October; the first groups will get away at about 6:15 am.

Two games remain until the Dawnbusters Championship.
