Away Trip
Plans are consolidating for this year’s Away Trip coming up next month. Dates for the trip are Monday 23 November and Tuesday 24 November. Many thanks to both Phil and Rick for making their properties available for the night of Monday 23 November – I know that we are all responsible adults at this stage of our lives and both properties will be left in pristine condition on the Tuesday morning. Even the hon sec has vowed to keep off the reds to ensure no Technicolor yodelling close to the house!!
Golf wise we will kick off at Devilbend golf course on the Monday. I will try for tee times of round about 11am. Green fees here are $60. Following the round we will head further down the peninsula for refreshments at Phil’s house before going out for dinner at the Rye RSL. And the night will unfold…
Breakfast next morning will be at a local cafe before heading to golf.
I am considering Cape Schanck as our second course. I have checked the website and gleaned the following info re green fees. Seniors who are RACV members pay $89 and non RACV seniors pay $109. However there is a further deal available – 2 seniors share a cart for $218. Seems a pretty good deal. You’re basically getting a free cart ( and some of us may be looking for a cart after a previous big day!!).
So, I need some feedback – 1. Who’s a definite walker? 2. Who’s looking at the cart deal?
Let Al know and he’ll pass on the results to me.
Fortunately, we have no accommodation costs. Green fees will work out to be about $170 for 2 rounds on quality courses. There will be a modest charge for refreshments and prizes – yet to be calculated.
As always, I’m open to any feedback on these plans. Phil, perhaps you can gather any comments next Monday after the Eastwood game. Good hitting!
Brendan
Rick has advised that those who will stay at his place will need to bring a sleeping bag, pillow and towel.
Phil is happy to offer his Rye home as a base for the trip, which is very generous of him. Brendan is looking at an overnighter on Monday 23 and Tuesday 24 November.
Rick has also generously offered his holiday home in Sorrento, considering the numbers already planning to attend. He notes that one would need to be a driver so we could get there after frivolities at Phil’s! Geoff has now kindly offered to be the designated driver from Phil’s to Rick’s. Good on you, Geoff!
See below the starters to date:

About Us
Some of our Nagahs
The Nagahs shown above are a fine representation of our regular players. This photo was taken at Moonah Legends on the Mornington Peninsula nearly a decade ago. This was Alistair's last Nagahs game!
Our Founders
One of our Clubs
Early on the Yarra courses had a reciprocal arrangement where members could play in the mid-week competition. We had members at most of the Yarra courses. Old Eastern course (pictured) was one of those clubs.
Blast from the Past
The Nagahs group in 2003 at Phil’s mum’s place in Aireys Inlet on our annual away trip.
Rad was the champion for the year and Alistair was the Downlow winner over the weekend of the away trip.
Of course, back in the day, some of us were a bit sillier than others!
“Welcome to the Nagahs Social Golf Group. I am our current secretary. Chris was our first secretary in 1990 when Nagahs was established, then came Geoff, Alistair, Graeme, Phil, and Rick.”

Honorary Secretary
WHAT WE DO
We have been going now for 36 years.
We play monthly at golf courses in and around Melbourne and our games are scored with Nagahs points which go towards our end of year trophy (The Blackman Trophy - named after our longest serving secretary, Geoff Blackman). At the end of the year we have an away trip and these two or three games also count towards the Blackman Trophy. The trophy is currently held by Peter O.
