Sariman slays Wackers
Les Sariman needed a hand to cart his prizes to the car park when a small field of 11 battled on the front nine of Carpentaria Golf Club for Wackers glory on 18 February.
Sariman had a superb round, winning the day with 39 off the stick, in addition to claiming both pin shots.
Carolyn Head took runner-up honours, after putting well to end up just one shot off once handicaps were applied.
Pete Moore played well, but succumbed to the curse of the low handicapper to take home the Bradman’s.
Coach Cape’s Crocs
It takes a village to raise a child, and it takes plenty of coaches to ensure a rugby league season goes ahead as planned.
The Cooktown District Junior Rugby League Club is chasing coaches for the under-6, U7 and League Tag 12-17 divisions, as well as sports trainers/first aid officers for the club’s 2026 campaign.
If you want to roll up your sleeves to keep the Crocs biting on the paddock this year, call 0429 351 804 or email [email protected].
Meh-gnificent golfers
In what was shaping as a king and queen, then daylight result, the inaugural Cooktown Golf Club Ambrose for the year was more meh than magnificent.
Reigning club champs and Jmac Ambrose Shield winners Tanya Stewart and Brent Hetaraka ended up throwing the bouquets rather than catching them – a novel experience for the latter after collecting more flowers than FNQ’s florists combined over the past few seasons – after crushing the field with their unbeatable duo awesomeness.
