Four new players joined the ranks of the Dawnbusters family when a field of 17 teed off in sultry conditions at Carpentaria Golf Club on 8 December.

When golfers returned to the clubhouse to cool off and reflect on their rounds, Ross Craven emerged victorious with a handy 40 off the stick for a chocolate-bagging nett 15.

Josh Martin made the most of his handicap to card gross 59 and runner-up honours with nett 17.

Scott Andrews took the men’s long drive gong with some straight hitting, while Rachel Dick was the best of the women off the tee with the big stick.

Craven capped off a good round by winning nearest to the pin bragging rights.

Beth Dall was awarded the weekly Hoffman’s prize.

Golfers will contest the front nine in Weipa on 15 December, with competition tipped to be fierce as they battle for a coveted Christmas ham.

The first playing group will get away from about 6am, with new competitors always welcome to join the fun.
