Eighteen players basked in Sunday morning’s sun at Dawnbusters on Carpentaria Golf Club, Weipa.

Among some nice scores on the day, Mick Cerneka showed the field how to do it by hitting 39 off the stick. But it still wasn’t good enough to secure top honours.

Jim Lucas’ 47 off the stick, along with his handicap, clinched the win by five strokes. Mick settled for the Bridesmaid but went on to take out the nearest the pin on the 18th hole.

Scott Triffit won the men’s longest drive while Vivian Chan settled back into her routine from last season by taking out the women’s longest drive.

Beth Dall clamped her ownership over the Hoffman’s for yet another week.

Jim, delighted with his win, put it down to encouragement from his golfing buggy buddy on the day; others suggested that with him looking after the group’s scores, sometimes the pen is mightier than the golf club!

Congratulations to all the winners; we look forward to this Sunday 30 November when Dawnbusters players take on the front 9 with groups teeing off at about 6 am. New members are welcome.
