Away Trip
Latest Update
Gentlemen, I went online to make a booking at Devilbend golf course only to discover that the course is closed from Monday 23 November to Thursday 26 November. So that rules out playing at Devilbend!
Subsequently I have made a booking for 8 golfers at Mornington GC for Monday 23 November. Two flights have been booked at 12.30 and 12.38pm. I also booked one golf cart. Ian, I’m thinking that you’ll be in a cart – is there anyone who would like to share with Ian? Please let Al know. I can book more carts if required. Green fees at Mornington are $85. There are no discounts for old blokes like us. If you have reciprocal rights please let Al know.
Cart hire for 18 holes is $59.
I did consider Bay Views as an alternative but seeing as it has become a regular addition to our annual rota of courses I decided Mornington would be a good choice.
I’ve also booked Cape Schanck for Tuesday 24 November. 10.20 and 10.30 are our teetimes. Three lazy carts have been booked for 6 of us. Phil and Geoff are walkers – very admirable particularly on the slopes of those last few holes!!
Once again a big thank you to Rick and Phil for the generous accommodation offers.
Peter G is a late withdrawal from our trip – he has not recovered from knee surgery as well as hoped. Still 8 golfers is a good number.
Hope you’re all keeping well and looking forward to the upcoming annual Away Trip.
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.”

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.
