Brandon Waretini prevented the departing Simon Ayles a Dawnbusters fairytale when 14 golfers teed off in hot, stagnant conditions in Weipa on 9 March.
With humidity peaking somewhere around 1,000 per cent, Waretini returned to the clubhouse with a nett 19 to bag bragging rights and his second Sunday win, and relegate Ayles (nett 24) to bridesmaid in his last Sunday morning hit-out on western Cape York after beating Jim Lucas in a countback.
Ross Craven hit true to take the men’s long drive honours, with Beth Dall claiming the weekly Hoffman’s award.
The women’s long drive and pin prize went begging before players tucked into burgers and beers to farewell Ayles.
Golfers will take on the back nine on 16 March, with the first group getting away from about 6:45am.
