There were no easy conditions for Dawnbusters on 16 March as they were greeted with the mercury at 31 degrees and humidity north of 90 per cent as they tackled the Carpentaria Golf Club back nine.
Jim Lucas carded a gross 48, his second best round of the season, to secure his second season win with nett 17, with Jon Dall recording an even half century for nett 20 and his first bridesmaid crown of the year.
Beth Dall chalked up her seventh Hoffman’s title, while Scott Triffitt and Viv Chan took the big-hitting long drive honours.
Triffitt backed up his driving prowess by claiming the pin prize on the 18th hole.
Lucas said he was happy with his off-the-stick showing, which was only bettered by his gross 47 – his best score in 17 Dawnbusters outings – in November 2024.
Dawnbusters will take on the front nine on 23 March, with new players welcome to join the action from about 6:45am.
