David joined our club when a few of us had a 3some at Kingston Links and we felt sorry for this guy who had a bag of hired clubs. We asked him what his handicap was and he said ‘Thuree’ (3) .. he spoke Scottish ! He birded the opening par 5 and then put his tee shot on the second into the water and double bogied the second hole. We thought he was all talk .. anyway he birdied the next few holes and made us eat humble pie.
After that he joined our club and ended up making me have to change the handicapping software to deal with plus handicaps! He was +2 at one stage so he had to play to 66 each week !
If you click on the Hall of Fame on our website you’ll see his card where he shot the current Ivanhoe course record of 62 that was the week after I played win him when he shot a 63 which was a record at that time!. Bearing in mind that Ivanhoe was once the of a Victorian PGA site that’s really impressive.
So David has been by far the best player we’ve ever had and he helped the club standards improve dramatically So obviously we decided that our original champion of champions should have the event named after him.
Cheers
Allan
Where we are!
