Coming up next week on Home and Away in the UK, Justin’s desperation to win the golf tournament sees him cheat his way to victory – but his actions prove costly for Dean and Ziggy.
The Summer Bay charity golf tournament, which is being finalized next week, is being organized by Marilyn (Emily Symons) and Roo (Georgie Parker) to raise $40,000 for a food truck that will benefit the local homeless charity the two have been volunteering for.
After obtaining nine holes at the neighborhood course for free, Roo pulled off a victory last week when she was successful in persuading a Yabbie Creek vehicle dealership to provide the star prize—a brand-new set of wheels for the top individual player.
As luck would have it, Ziggy (Sophie Dillman) is having trouble at the farmhouse because she and Dean (Patrick O’Connor) only have one car between them; this has been the case ever since Dean’s was totaled in an accident back in 2021.
Ziggy is only now becoming aware of how lonely it may be while Dean has the car since she is growing weary of her forced bed rest as a result of her fall and the farmhouse’s remote location.

Ziggy is only now becoming aware of how lonely it may be while Dean has the car since she is growing weary of her forced bed rest as a result of her fall and the farmhouse’s remote location.
However when Marilyn then reveals the brand new prize on offer, Dean’s interest is piqued…
“Good news mate,” Dean later announces to John. “I’m joining your golf team“.
With the Palmer’s Putters team now full, having recruited Kirby (Angelina Thomson) and Rose (Kirsty Marillier), John’s highly amused to learn that Dean has zero experience with the game (it’s not a huge pastime in Mangrove River), and so directs him towards rival Justin (James Stewart).
After placing a $1,000 wager with John on which squad will win, Justin is eager to complete the trio and is only too delighted to welcome Dean. but when Dean chooses not to show up for a practice session—he intends to wing it on the day—he wonders if he made a mistake.
The two teams meet up on the golf course that evening for a practice round, and while Justin has complete faith in Theo’s abilities after witnessing him putt the balls, they both feel a little intimidated by the prowess of two-time champion Rose.
The Happy Chill-Mores might be in trouble with just Dean missing from the lineup
Theo and Kirby are taken aback when Justin arrives home later than expected that evening and claims to have reviewed the course once more. Could the fact that he heard which golf buggy John’s squad had been assigned have anything to do with his nighttime excursion…?
The teams are dressed to the nines the following day when Roo and Marilyn declare the competition to be open.
Dean jumps on the back of his team’s buggy with his eye on the prize having already learned from Roo that the person who completes the course in the fewest number of shots would win the automobile.
Palmer’s Putters’ buggy appears to be malfunctioning, though. It won’t turn on!
It’s unfortunate, Justin remark, as they will now have to lug their golf clubs around the course.
John and Rose are pleased with beginner Kirby’s progress on the green as they reach the end of the first hole; the pointers that Rose gave her last week have obviously come in useful.
Justin and Theo wait in trepidation as Dean takes his turn, scoffing at the advice that Theo tries to give him.
Everyone is shocked when Dean chips the ball from the edge of the green and it goes directly into the hole; he must be a natural at it!
As the guys celebrate and move on to the next hole, Justin thanks John for sending Dean their way…
As the game continues, Justin can’t help but carry on taunting Palmer’s Putters about their lack of buggy.
John now surmises that Justin’s occupation as a mechanic can’t possibly be a coincidence—they’ve unquestionably been sabotaged!
Theo also begins to click right away. He believes that some form of retaliation is necessary because Justin’s use of dirty techniques has angered him.
To Dean’s annoyance, Justin purposefully uses extra strokes on the following hole before Theo confronts him and urges him to be honest.
Justin ultimately gives in as Theo continues to purposefully miss shots in an effort to lose the game. but bottles out after going up to John; if he admitted, Dean’s possibility of getting a car may be in risk. He assures Theo that he will speak with Roo in confidence.
Alf makes the final announcement that evening. And Dean not only took home the automobile, but Justin’s team also won the competition!
However, Dean is unaware that Roo has already shown Alf and Marilyn some CCTV footage from the golf club the previous night as he calls Ziggy to share the joyful news. Alf still hasn’t finished making his announcement.
How will Dean react when he finds out Justin’s actions have cost him a car?
