1992

First Interstate Tour - Gold Coast
Les had an adventure
Tampo had an 85 on the front nine at Robina Woods, including hitting a house
Danny Mac went for a swim
Tony and Tampo did a Karaoke version of "Pretty Woman"

Joe’s surprise birthday party. 8 February was the wettest day in Perth’s history. One of the eskies floated down the carport

First time at Burswood – 35 golf balls were lost that day

Joe and Danny Mc have a bet on how many times Smeg will say .... in one round of golf

1993

SW Tour
Dom introduced us to the concept of the "Calcutta" - some of us will never be the same again

Pig proudly introduced the "Killer Whale" (one of the earliest oversize drivers) on the first tee and proceeded to hit the ball backwards - I still don't know how he did it

1994

For a few months during the year we went to the Castle after golf at Hamersley. They treated us very well giving us free sandwiches and the young lady behind the bar was extremely friendly. That was until Tony, in a stage whisper, said  jokingly "I wonder if she gives free HJs behind the bar" for some reason she wasn't so friendly after that...  They also stopped giving us free sandwiches, but we later found out that was because they'd been mistaking us for the Castle golf club who wore the same colour shirts as us.

1995

Second Gold Coast Tour

Founding Fathers' month created ... they've been abused for slow play ever since

1996

The club became big enough to introduce two grades with 1 - 15 A grade and 16+ B
Joe bet Pig that he would never get into A Grade
Result:

1997

Oggy joined at the end of the year and immediately got into the spirit of things by winning the following year's championship

Big lightning storm at Burswood where half the field left the course

1998

First Thailand Tour

ANZAC weekend in Albany.  Spit at (pre-DAG) Clapper's place – notable for Teresa/Paula putting petrol in Greg’s diesel 4w-drive

It was also in Albany where we brought out the cart the DAGS syndicate purchased,  however technical problems meant it never got off the first tee ... closest we got to actually using it!

The same syndicate also purchased a greyhound; don't think it ever won any races ... made a lovely pet though

1999

Barrie (Happy) was left stranded face down next to the 14th green at Wembley New when his back gave out. Other groups wished him well as they putted out the hole and moved on to the 15th. Eventually a cart came from the clubhouse to pick him up and whisk him away, I don't think he's bought his jug for not finishing the round ... yet 

Fintan shot a 68 at Maylands on his way to winning Mad March - doubt that'll ever be beaten
