A small group of 10 Dawnbusters played in hot and sultry conditions at Carpentaria Golf on Sunday morning.

Patriarch Viv Dick was the best in the field and recorded gross 59 for a week-winning nett 20 as Steven Kennett took bridesmaid honours with gross 49 to finish on nett 21.

Scott Andrews may have been the hard luck story of the round after returning to the clubhouse with a handy 42 off the stick.

Dick, ever humble in victory, merely stated “a good scorer will beat a good player any day” as his handicap was shaved to 23 for the next time he steps onto the tee block.

Long drive bragging rights went to Andrews, with Sharon Gardiner claiming the women’s prize.

Josh Martin admitted he was actually playing worse than in previous weeks and had to accept the Hoffman’s gong, rather than the coveted Dawnbusters winner’s shirt.

The pin prize remained unclaimed and will wait until 13 April when Dawnbusters tackle the back nine.

Players will tee off from about 6:45am next Sunday, with new golfers always welcome to join in on the action.
