Victory came at a severe cost for Scott Triffitt when 15 golfers tackled nine holes of Dawnbusters fun in Weipa on 23 February.
The humid morning produced some great scores, which is a nice change from some of the Sunday morning results Cape York Weekly has been sent in recent weeks.
The group was the first to play all nine holes at the course in over a week following wet season inundations, with Triffitt carding 44 off the stick for a chocolate-grabbing nett 20.
Ross Craven had every right to return to the car park feeling like he had been burgled after returning to the Carpentaria Golf Club bar with nett 22 on the back of a classy gross 38 only to end up with the runner-up cheque.
This publication has it on good authority the victorious Triffitt was thrilled with his win, however, left a little dubious and shaking his head about the 16-stroke shave his handicap took after the fairway showdown.
Craven added the men’s long drive prize to his bridesmaid gong, while Chelsea Buckley was the biggest-hitting woman of the morning.
The coveted Hoffman’s prize went to Beth Dall.
The Dawnbusters crew will take on the front nine on 2 March, with the first group set to step up to the tee block from 6:45am.
New players are always welcome.
