December 2002
WELCOME back to DAWSON CARROLL, today’s donor and instigator of the coveted
Dawson Carroll Trophy. This marks his 15th circumnavigation of the globe
to enjoy the day at Avalon.
The current temperature in his hometown is 0 to 4degrees C - that’s not
to bad - Moscow, on the same lat of linatude is - 14 to -9 degrees C. Had
Dawson been a muscovite he would probably be living here, conducting his business
with a laptop.
The DAWSON CARROLL CUP should be on display in the shed and ready to change
hands at the conclusion of play.
Winners of the event over the past few years have been
1999 Colin Lacey 44 points of 32
2000 Frank van Heyninigan 42 points
off 23
2001 Alan Lewis 44 points of 13
Good Luck to today’s field.

NOEL QUINLAN, usually well placed in the bunch as they round the home turn,
celebrated his first win for 15 months.
CADET JAKE SMALL has been eroding his 59 free shots over the past couple
of years. In recent time he has grown 30cm, put on a bit of beef around
his chest, and is demolishing his handicap in chunks - at this rate he will
be playing in the high 30’s by next winter. Keep up the good work Jake!
WAL HILL, by shaving his hirsute upper lip and investing in a new set of
tats, makes Russell Crowe look like part of the sweepings from the Colosseum.
TONY DELIA, having been given a “send-off”, complete with bottle of Scotch
and tear-jerker card, signed by all and sundry, plus a departing downer,
advised the bereft brethren he was not taking up residence in his new home
at 54 Valleta Street, Moss Vale till January, and would be attending the
2002 Christmas Carroll celebrations!
Fines, some were:
Jake
a non drinker and still managing to spill Lizards beer.
Hart
when asked what he scored on a hole replied “I had a V for vipe”.

Stretch and posing, during the meeting, as
