The calendar may have said it was the first day of winter, but it was anything but when humid conditions tested the 16 players vying for Dawnbusters glory in Weipa on Sunday.
Jamie Hutton carded the lowest gross round of the day with 40, with the resulting nett 12 providing a four-shot buffer and the winner’s chocolates as Grant Crossley (45/16) had to settle for second spot.
Brandon Waretini had the big stick dialled in to secure the men’s long drive prize, with Viv Chan rounding out a strong week on the course by claiming the women’s long drive and pin prizes.
Leroy Ahmat played his first game with the Dawnbusters crew and not only picked up the coveted first timer cap, but also the Hoffman’s.
Hutton attributed his victory to just being a better golfer than “No Magic Apples” Mick Cerneka, who shot a rather handy 42 off the stick, and the calming effect of his buggy partner, Lilly McKeown.
On 8 June, Dawnbusterians (we aren’t sure that’s a real thing) will take to the front nine in the What Fishing Competition Cup from about 6:45am, with new players always welcome.
