Marshall claims Wackers
Despite the threat of rain, the 19 Wackers who took on the Weipa front nine managed to stay dry when they teed off on 15 April.
Scott Triffitt played to his usual standard with a great 39 off the stick, while Pete Moore carded a gross 42.
Bob Marshall took the win on a three-hole countback from Steve Head after both men returned to the Carpentaria Golf Club 19th hole with nett 34.
Jim Lucas bagged both pin prizes on offer after landing deft iron shots just metres from the flags, while Les Sariman took home the Bradman’s after recording an unusually high score.
