PK steals Wackers limelight
Peter Kenny was the best of the bunch of 14 that teed off in Wackers action on 18 June.
Ex-Weipa resident Jim Hoffman dusted off the clubs and caught up with familiar faces while on holidays, but Kenny stole his limelight to bag bragging rights ahead of Steve Kennett, who took home the bridesmaid’s crown.
A big shout out to Kennett and his wife, Kate, for donning their chef hats to cook up delicious burgers for the hungry golfers.
Jim Lucas claimed the pin prize on the 7th, with new player Eddy Tiemens securing the Bradman’s.
