A hot, clear day allowed the Carpentaria Golf Club course to break the 11 foolhardy Dawnbusters who teed off in Weipa on 30 March.
The back nine proved a challenge for the group with no good gross scores recorded, while Peter Kenny’s nett 21 was strong enough to claim a narrow one-stroke victory.
Handicaps proved the measure to sort out the weekly runner-up, with Viv Dick, Josh Martin and Dave Sands all finishing with nett 22 to be sent into a countback before Dawnbusters stalwart Sands was crowned bridesmaid.
Kenny said he was thrilled to claim the coveted Dawnbusters polo shirt in only his sixth outing.
Grant Crossley impressed from the tee block to take out the men’s long drive prize, with Sharon Gardner claiming the women’s honours in her first game back for the year.
Martin did not go home without a prize and was the Hoffman’s recipient by a stroke.
All 11 players failed to land a ball on the 18th green to let the pin prize go begging for another week.
Golfers will contest the front nine on 6 April, with the first group teeing off from 6:45am.
