December

Andrew “the Fluffy One”  broke into the winners circle for the first time with 38 points on 1 November.  It’s been suggested this will not the last time he’ll do that!

It has been a good year that has seen more rainy Saturdays than any other year on record.

Old age, injuries, and other maladies, some of which were seemingly psychological did impact on the size of the fields.

Hopefully 2026 will see healthy field once again

Founding Fathers

Once again the intrepid and ageless Founding Fathers celebrate the end of the 39th year of the DAGS

The combined age of the Founding Fathers as this year is 294 years.

Just out of interest 294 years ago, Benjamin Franklin conceived the idea of a subscription library,. This was the birth of the Library Company of Philadelphia, whose charter he composed in 1731.

Time flies when you are having fun!

AGM

Sensational hospitality from Dominic & Bren – the food was fantastic, the drinks plentiful and effective. In particular thanks to Dom for the night caps

Parliament would do well to observe the decorum at the DAGS AGM.

Chaos reigned supreme with a brave but bewildered JK taking on the Chair without notice.

Well supported by a Cheer Squad of females – one in particular who lost control and sought to participate

11 drinks breaks in 90 minutes went well – particularly given everyone had a drink!

Fluffy must have been in some sort of clubs – he suggested what transpired was “nothing” compared to some of the clubs he’s been involved with.

The minutes of the meeting have been distributed for consideration and comment.

Only Greg had anu comment so no further adjustment necessary.

December Mystery 9 Winner – Greg Clatworthy – again!

Around the Traps

• A sad time for the Tampalinis,  again our condolences go out to Danny and his family on the loss of his brother, Gus.

• On a lighter note, Danny must have made an impression, he was invited to the funeral director’s Christmas party.  Wouldn’t it be  a  hoot watching him “work the room”!

• Talk about unlucky

• OJ had his car damaged by a kid on an e-scooter on Sunday 9 November. Some dramas because there are insurance vagaries that need to be addressed

• On Thursday 13 November his daughter gets rear ended and is provided with a hire car by her Insurer

• On Friday 14 November she again gets rear ended in her hire car – so she gets another

• On Saturday 15 November she gets rear ended in her second hire car  -3rd time in 3 days! – they won’t give her another one!!!

• Who will the next celebrity Teresa “Groupie” Clatworthy will bail up for a photo?  Andrew Brayshaw a few weeks back and now after some technical problems she got Michael Vaughan at the Cottesloe Hotel.  Maybe her next target might be Andrew, who was formerly known as  Prince?

• We are all wondering how Gaye’s birthday dinner went after the AGM – watch this space for further updates!

• Don’t forget to check the website for all the DAGS news and information – including bookings and results dagsgolf.org.

That’s all folks!!
