A field of 12 golfers took to the Carpentaria Golf Club course in what most long-term Weipa residents would describe as almost-Arctic conditions when they battled for Dawnbusters supremacy on 14 July.
Players teed off into fog on the first fairway, with Rob McVean rugged up to the extent his fellow Dawnbusters wondered if he was heading off to the Mawson Research Station after his round.
Viv Chan returned to the clubhouse with 42 off the stick for a round-winning nett 12, with Matt Byrne claiming bridesmaid honours with a nett 16.
Jon Dall completed the most unwanted double in Weipa golf with the Hoffman’s to add to his Wackers Bradman’s effort.
Grant Crossley shone with both the driver and short irons to bag the long drive and nearest to the pin crowns.
When asked about her stoic victory, Chan allegedly admitted she had drawn inspiration from her lifelong mentor, who coincidently happens to provide Cape York Weekly with the weekly Dawnbusters report under the nom de plume of G Crossley.
Golfers will test themselves on the front nine holes on 21 July, with the first group set to take their first shots around 7am.
