Today we play the final game for this year at AUBURN. It is a FUN DAY. We are playing a normal AMBROSE EVENT (rather than Canadian Ambrose). Everyone is entitled to play every stroke. Enjoy the day and it is hoped everyone receives a CHRISTMAS surprise
COMPLIMENTS of the SEASON
The Golf Committee would like to take this opportunity to wish ALL DOOLEY GOLFERS and their families a safe and most enjoyable Christmas and New Year. We wish each and every one of you and your families a happy and joyful festive season with good health and good luck throughout the coming year.
AGM
The Annual General Meeting of the Golf Club will be held on THURSDAY the 27th JANUARY at 7.30pm at DOOLEYS Lidcombe Catholic Club.
SICK LIST
Just after our last game COL BENTLEY had a stroke. After some visits to the heart specialist it was determined that it was only a minor stroke. Last week when he visited the specialist he was told that there was no further need to see him again. He was given the all clear to resume normal activities. We hope COL is well on the way to a full recovery and hope to see you on the course today.
COVID 19
In 2020 we experienced a deadly worldwide outbreak called COVID 19 in many different varieties which caused lockdowns and the cancellation of most of our Golf Games. In 2020 we only played three games, Sefton and Woodville in February and Fairfield in July. Covid forced the cancellation of the other nine (9) games.
In 2021 we lost four (4) games to Covid. Fairfield, Woodville, Auburn and Woodville again in July to October. The March game was washed out. Let us hope we can play our final game at Auburn.
We now look forward to what 2022 has in store for us. The African Covid virus is a worry as is what will occur next winter.

THANKS A LOT TO MY NEIGHBOUR --- RICK
A WORD of THANKS
TO ALL who CONTRIBUTED
TOWARDS MAKING the DOOLEY
GOLF DAYS such a SUCCESS
To our President BERNIE FREEBURN for ensuring the Golf Club continues to run so smoothly. Without BERNIE we would be leaderless.
To TERRY KENNY, what a marathon effort, thank you for all you do. The list of jobs and information you record behind the scenes is incredible - wow thank you so much from us all!
To SUE DELANEY our Secretary, for maintaining the minutes of all our meetings, attending to correspondence and arranging course bookings. Also for forwarding emails to all members on behalf of the Golf Club including the Golf Draw and DOOLEY Divots.
To our Club Organizer and Trailer Driver GARRY MITCHELL for his complete GENEROSITY in bringing and returning the Golf Trailer to each of the golf days. GARRY collects and returns the trailer to DOOLEYS at Lidcombe. He supervises the packing and repacking of the trailer, the setting up of the BBQ and ensures the area is clean before he leaves. GARRY supplies the Ice for each Golf Day FREE of CHARGE.
To our Golf Club Captain EDDIE HABIB for ensuring we all maintain Golf Etiquette and abide by the Rules of Golf.
To ROBERT RYAN who is responsible for collating, formatting and publishing all the articles for DOOLEY Divots and for maintaining and entering all the information onto the DOOLEYS Golf web site. www.dooleyssocialgolf.com.au
To our Handicapper ADAM WELTON – who now lives at Wauchope. He endeavors to ensure our Golf Handicaps are fair. He tries very hard to keep all us golfers honest by his handicapping system which aims to give everyone a fair go to share in the trophies.
To JENNY DELANEY for collecting the Green Fees, collecting the deposits for the Weekend of Golf and for balancing the monies collected on each and every Golf Day.
To PETER KNNEDY for maintaining the points score for the Pat Connell Trophy and for ensuring nominations are taken at each golf day for the following game.
To MARGARET BENTLEY and VAL KENNEDY our MASTER CHEF’S and CUSTODIAN’S. What would we do without them? MARGARET and VAL give freely of their time when they are available to see to our needs and to ensure everyone is fed so that we can all ENJOY OURSELVES.
To ANNE DELANEY for being one of our delegates to the Sports Council. ANNE attends and reports on our golf activities at each and every Sports Council meeting.
To BRUCE FARQUHAR and RICK CLIFFORD for procuring the most important commodity and that is the FOOD to feed us Golfers at each golf outing. Without the food we would starve and go hungry.
To DENIS COLLINS who has volunteered to take over doing the Golf Draw. It is unenviable task subject to some objections and a little ridicule.
To JULIE PEMBLE along with ADAM who would normally procure the trophies for the WEEKEND of GOLF. Unfortunately, we have missed the last two years.
In fact, what would the GOLF CLUB do without people like these who CONTRIBUTE SO MUCH.
Finally, to all the DOOLEY GOLFERS for attending and assisting in undertaking the many tasks needed to make the DOOLEY Golf Days so enjoyable and such a success.
