It was a strong field of 14 that teed off at Carpentaria Golf Club for the weekly Dawnbusters showdown on 28 July, however, many were there in body only having spent a full and enjoyable Saturday competing in Weipa’s golf and bowls fun day.
Dawnbusters patriarch Viv Dick proved too good when the cohort returned to the clubhouse, with his nett 21 securing a comfortable victory ahead of runner-up Mick Cernaka, who carded nett 23.
Tom Lucas and Kerry Boshammer shone with their drivers to claim the men’s and women’s long drive bragging rights, while Grant Crossley could not be beaten close to the pin.
Jai Bright was crowned the weekly Hoffman’s recipient on countback.
Ever humble in victory, Dick explained the only reason he took the win was due to the additional handicap strokes allotted to him under the competition’s new pensioner handicap scheme.
Golfers will contest the front nine on 4 August, with the first group teeing off at 7am.
