Returning to the clubhouse with under 40 off the stick put Ross Craven in pole position to claim Dawnbusters honours at Carpentaria Golf Club on Sunday morning.
Fifteen players teed off in idyllic conditions for the weekly showdown, with Craven (gross 38/nett 19) too good around the front nine holes.
Mick Cernaka carded a gross 42 for nett 23 to take runner-up bragging rights.
Jake Smith was the only Dawnbuster to land a shot on the 9th green and took home the nearest to the pin prize for his effort, while the rest of the field were left looking at their clubs after wayward offerings from the tee block.
Chelsea Buckley was the Hoffman’s recipient for 23 March, with Craven capping off a great day out by securing the men’s long drive.
Helen Sabatino was the biggest hitting woman on the course.
Players will battle the back nine on 30 March, with the first group getting away from about 6:45am.
New golfers are always welcome.
