He only had eight opponents to beat, and a generous 32 handicap did not hurt when Steve Kennett triumphed in Dawnbusters action in Weipa on 25 May.
In unseasonably hot conditions for a week out from western Cape York’s “winter”, Kennett returned to the Carpentaria Golf Club bar with 44 off the stick for a field-blitzing nett 12.
Jon Dall finished his round with gross 56 for nett 19 and the runner-up prize.
Dall’s much better half, Beth, was on fire and took home both women’s long drive and Hoffman’s chocolates.
Dave Sands showed his versality on the tee block by claiming the men’s long drive and pin prize on offer.
Kennett admitted the win was the culmination of his Australian mates coaching him on the finer points of social golf, including the obligatory sledging.
Dawnbusters will contest the first of the Winter Wonderland Games when they take to the back nine on 1 June, with new players always welcome to join in on the fun from about 6:45am.
