A field of 17 battled it out last Wednesday on the front 9 of Carpentaria Golf Club for the 2025 Weipa Wednesday Wackers championships.
As showers persisted through the afternoon, Ross Craven grabbed A grade with a fine 41 off the stick. He took the honours on handicap by one over Scott Triffitt who, along with Grant Crossley, came in with 39.
Players shot some solid scores in B grade, but Dave Sands (handicap of 12 with a 48) proved too good, just beating Steve Head (handicap of 11) on the same score.
Paiwan Lui prevailed in C grade’s fierce competition as he hit a fine 46 off the stick to take the win ahead of Gary Head with 49.
Winners were awarded engraved Zippo lighter trophies, a novel alternative to the usual Yetis. Recipients welcomed the prizes, agreeing they will be a great addition to the camping kit.
Wackers will continue to run through the festive season. New and existing players are encouraged to come down and have a hit from 2:30 pm every Wednesday.
