Today we play the final game for this year at Woodville. Today is a FUN DAY. We are playing a four personAMBROSE Event. It is hoped everyone enjoys their day of golf, especially the short hitters, as they will be playing their second and third shots a lot closer to the greens than they are used to. Have a great final day and we hope you all receive a nice little Christmas surprise.

PRESIDENTS WRAP UP
Another successful year has almost passed. It was good to see our numbers have been consistent throughout the year. Thankyou to everyone that has contributed to the running of the golf days, no matter how small your contributions have been. We are fortunate that there is a great culture of getting in and helping wherever it is needed. Thanks also to our Golf Committee, who meet regularly and discuss and implement ways to make our golf days the best they can be. A special thanks to two of our Committee members:
Denis Collins has been a committee member for roughly 20 years and has been our handicapper until recent years. When Denis stood down from the handicapping, he put his hand up to take on the nominations and cancellations and groupings for each months games. This job takes time and lots of phone calls. Denis has done a great job with this and we thank you greatly. Denis has again volunteered to do this job next year.
Adam Welton has been a regular golfer and committee person for many years. Adam took on the job as handicapper several years ago. Again, this is a job that takes time and gets little recognition. Adam has done an excellent job and has managed to keep competition for all of the trophies at a healthy level. This is evident in the spread of prizes across numerous winners. Adam and family moved for a sea/tree change to Wauchope through the year. Despite this, Adam has continued to provide our handicaps and continued to be an active committee member. Adam still wishes to play a handful of games next year and be part of our club. Thanks Adam for all you have done.
If anyone has a suggestion to help improve the running of the club, please feel free to discuss with myself or any Committee Member. Thanks for all your support given to the Committee over the year.
Bernie Freeburn.

It would be great to see everyone in attendance and be willing and able to contribute towards the running of the Golf Club. A Golf Committeeis tobe elected on the night.
LAST DAY
What a perfect day, it was spring, the weather was fantastic, not too hot and not too cold and the golf course was in great condition. Last year Cumberland Council announced plans that it will spend $1.5M on Fairway watering at Woodville this year. This is in the process of being installed and should improve the course immensely.

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.
To our Club Organiser and Trailer Driver GARRY MITCHELL for his complete GENEROSITY in bringing and returning the Golf Trailer to every golf day. 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 ANNA RYAN for ensuring we all maintain Golf Etiquette and abide by the Rules of Golf.
To ROBERT RYAN who is responsible for collating, formattingand publishing all the articles for DOOLEY Divots and for maintaining and enteringall the information onto the Dooleys Golf web site. www.dooleyssocialgolf.com.au
To our Handicapper ADAM WELTON - who now lives at Wauchope. He endeavours to ensure our Golf Handicaps are fair. He tries very hard to keep all of us golfers honest by his handicapping system which aims to give everyone a fair go toshare 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 KENNEDY 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 PATRICK KAIN for forwarding emailson behalf of the Golf Club including the monthly Golf Draw and DOOLEY Divots.
To MARGARET BENTLEY, VAL KENNEDY, SUE (Manny’s partner) and LEE (Troy’s wife) our MASTER CHEF’S and CUSTODIAN’S. What would we do without them? MARGARET, VAL, SUE and LEE have given 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 that 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 volunteered to take over doing the Golf Draw. It is an unenviable task subject to some objections and a little ridicule.
To JULIE PEMBLE along with ADAM who procured the Trophies for the WEEKEND of GOLF. What would we do without this wonderful young lass and her husband.
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.
NEW PLAYERS
This year we welcomed SEVEN (7) new players. They were PETER CHOCHULA - father of ANNA RYAN he has played (2) game with us, KATHRYN DUCKETT (3), STAN DUCKETT (3), CATHY EADES (2), JOHN LEE (4), KEITH WEATHERBY (1) and JOHN WILLIAMSON (8).
This year we saw the return of THREE (3) players who have not played with us for twelve months or more. They were JOHN COLEMAN (1 Game – 2 Holes) Golfing career now finished, WARREN RYAN (2) and DENNIS SMITH (9) games.
We need to encourage these players to continue to play social golf with us more often and we need a lot more new players.
GOLFING ATTENDANCE
After our last game 59 individual players (2 less than last year) have attended one or more of the eleven (11) games we have played. HAROLD MORRIS only attended one game but did not swing a club. The 59 players attended 383 games and contested 374 of those games. Attendance was 5 up on last year
Average attendance was 34.8 which was (0.4) more than last year.
It is obvious we NEED MORE SOCIAL PLAYERS. New players and former players are most welcome to join or re-join our Social Group.
Social Golf is an activity open to all ages
We have a strong LADIES contingent
Bring along your Children, Grandchildren and your friends
We play 12 games each year on Saturday mornings
We have a fantastic Weekend of Golf away each year
SO COME AND JOIN US AND PLAY SOCIAL GOLF
THE DOOLEYS SOCIAL GOLF CLUB
At the get together for the DOOLEY Golfers after the final Association Day it was decided that, the excess funds collected throughout the year would be donated to the St. Vincent De Paul Society bushfire appeal. The excess funds amounted to $200. This amount plus the $175 donated by those in attendance was given to the Society. Congratulations and thank you to all who attended this function for your generosity towards this worthy appeal.
By the way, the Lidcombe Association team lost the last day 3 games to 2. We also loss the Association Shield to Campbelltown 3 matches to 2.

ALF MARNEY
MEMORIAL TROPHY
This trophy is competed for at every game we play throughout the year excluding the last game. 10 points are awarded for attendance and 10 points downwards for finishing in the first ten.
As indicated last month DAVID QUINELL was five points ahead of COL BENTLEY and BERNIE FREEBURN with JENNY FREEBURN and JACOB PEMBLE a further 5 points in arrears. BUT, I cannot add up correctly or transcribed the numbers correctly or it mayhave been a typist error. Sorry BERNIE your total should have been 125 not 129.
On the day, IAN BARBER finished third for an additional 8 points. BERNIE fourth for additional 7 points. STUART HURLEY scored an extra 5 points, MICHAEL LENART an extra 4 points. KIERAN JACKSON 3 points and TERRY KENNY 2 points. Seven of the top ten players increased their score, two scored 10 points for attending.
DAVID amassed 144 points over the 11 games. BERNIE was two points behind with COL a further three points in arrears. It pays dividends to be in attendance at each and every game to be in contention for this trophy. JACOB PEMBLE missed the last two games and was in contention, could have finished second if he had attended these two games and had not scored any additional points.
Congratulations DAVID for your consistent attendance and scoring points at five games. Well done.
The leading scores were:

DICK DIXON
TROPHY
The winner of this trophy is the player who accumulated the most Stableford points for six games from all the games played except the first and last games.
As indicated in the last issue of Divots it was almost impossible for MICHAEL LENART to be defeated as he had a handy 7 points advantage over STUART HURLEY. Then it was another point to COL BENTLEY and JACOB PEMBLE with a further point to JENNY FREEBURN. The top five all improved on their worst score. MICHAEL improved by a point, STUART by 5, COL by 4 , KIERAN by 8 and BERNIE FREEBURN improved by 5. However, no one was able to overtake MICHAEL’S lead and he was able to maintain a 3 point advantage over STUART with COL and KIERAN a further two points in arrears.
MICHAEL’S scores were from only nine (9) competitive games. Whereas the scores for the other four top scorers were taken from all 10 games.
Congratulations to MICHAEL on a great win and a fantastic performance.

TROPHY
This trophy is played for over all the ten competitive games from game 2 to game 11. Six (6) holes are independently selected for each game and points are awarded for a hole-in-one, eagles, birdies and pars. The player with the highest score at the completion of the last game is the WINNER.
After two games, BERNIE FREEBURN and JACOB PEMBLE with 26 points were a point ahead of STUART HURLEY. A point further behind was DAVID QUINELL with another point to RICK CLIFFORD.
After three more games, there were some changes to the leader board. JACOB PEMBLE had taken the lead with 65 points. He was three (3) points clear of RICK CLIFFORD. BERNIE FREEBURN was a point further with another point to PETER O’BRIEN. Trailing by a further two points was STUART HURLEY.
After the Auburn game in August JACOB PEMBLE retained his lead and was 3 points clear of BERNIE. Six (6) points further behind was RICK CLIFFORD with a further point to ALAN THAM. KEVIN CAVANAGH, JENNY FREEBURN and DAVID QUINELL were next another point behind.
After the September game JACOB with 103 points was 5 points clear of BERNIE who was 5 points ahead of RICK.
JACOB became a proud DAD in October and was unable to attend the final two games of this competition.
After the October game, BERNIE had taken the lead with 109 points three points ahead of RICK. JACOB was next with 103 points followed by JENNY on 99 points.
The final day was at WOODVILLE. The selected holes were 1, 4, 6, 10, 14 and 16.
PATRICK KAIN had a Birdie on the 4th hole.

TREASURER’S TROPHY
MICHAEL LENART playing off a handicap of 17 had to concede a stroke on the five (5) hardest holes to STUART HURLEY who had a handicap of 22. MICHAEL was an unsuccessful finalist last year. The result of the match was:
5. STUART HURLEY (22) Vs 2. MICHAEL LENART (17). On the outward run the 1st, 6TH and 9th holes were all square. MICHAEL won hole 2, 7 and 8 whereas STUART won the remaining three holes 3, 4 and 5. The MATCH was all square after playing the front nine.
On the homeward run five hole namely 11, 12, 13, 15 and 17 were halved. STUART won the 10th and 16th holes but MICHAEL was able to win holes 14 and 18. So, after 18 holes the MATCH was all square.
So, the combatants had to replay the 18th hole once again to decide who the winner would be. The winner was once again ALL SQUARE. So off again went STUART and MICHAEL to play the 18th hole a third time to determine if a winner could be found. This time we had a result STUART prevailed to win the hole and the MATCH at the 20th hole.
Congratulations STUART on a long and difficult win. Commiserations to MICHAEL for reaching the finals for the second year in a row but once again it was not to be.
CAPTAIN’S TROPHY
This trophy was played for at WOODVILLE in April.
The event was a putting contest over the 18 holes.
The winner being the player with the least number of putts.
The winner must at least attend the stipulated eight (8) games.
In this event you have to record all your putts on the putting green.
If you wipe a hole and did not putt – then 3 putts are recorded for the hole.
Thirty-seven (37) players contested the event but one player only completed 14 holes.
JACOB PEMBLE had eleven 1 putt greens and only 2 putts for the remaining seven holes. A total of 25 putts for the eighteen holes. An amazing performance. Two putts behind were MICHAEL LENART and TROY NEWALL. Another putt in arrears was BERNIE FREEBURN. the remainder of the field were left behind counting their putts.
Congratulations JACOB on an amazing putting performance and commiserations to the remainder of the field who may be in need of some putting lessons.
This is the ninth year the Captain’s Trophy has been decided by a putting competition. Previous winners were:
2011 DAVID Mc INTOSH (20) 27 Putts
2012 BERNIE FREEBURN (13) 27 Putts
2013 WARREN DYER (11) 23 Putts
2014 BERNIE FREEBURN (11) 27 Putts
2015 KIERIN O’HARA (19) 26 Putts

2017 EDDIE HABIB (16) 27 Putts
2018 EDDIE HABIB (16) 27 Putts

It would be lovely when a CAPTAIN could come up with a competition that gives us hapless putters some chance of winning the competition. But then again all players have a fair chance when it comes to putting.
