Graham
Little
Aka:
Litts; Dainty G; Big Breezy
Founding member of the GBWGC and revered and feared club President.
The thinking man's thinking man who brings wise and reasoned
balance to the club's affairs.
Though he has had a limited number of games over recent seasons, he still plays off one of the lowest handicaps and has proven to be the club's best and most
consistent player, winning half of the Consistency Awards whilst a regular competitor. Loves the heat of battle and has come out
on top in major events. Won the inaugural Winter Trophy (2006)
and Mornington Masters (2008) and has triumphed in 2 Binningup Opens. Dominated the Apres
Golf putting and, despite only rare appearances since 2012–13, has the fifth highest number of club award successes.

Graeme
McLennan
Aka: Macca the Pace
Cracker
Co-founder of the club and currently the club's principal money
man. Maintains very healthy club finances in intricate detail,
usually on the back of postage stamps or stray pieces of paper.
Has had an unbelievable run of bad luck with injuries ("
. . carved up and stitched more often than a cadaver"),
missing all of the 2007–08 season and the first games
of 2008–09 before creaming the field in his first game
back. Inaugural winner of the President's Trophy and Robin Dalby Sea View Championship. Fastest player
and fastest tongue on the course.

Dennis
Scoble
Aka: Scobes
Renowned for his cool, logical mind and classic dry humour,
Scobes has also become revered for his talent as the club's
only licenced bookie. His Form
Guides are legendary as are his betting odds on major
club events, but has yet to make a killing given he has his
own inside information. A dedicated "pop" who skilfully
juggles golf with family commitments.
Inaugural Club Champion (2000–2001) and three-times Match
Play Champion, has also scored in most other major events.
Sometimes affectionately referred to as the "Silent Assassin"
given his casual, no-nonsense, subtle off-the-back-foot swinging
style that quietly amasses those consistent no-fuss wins.

Robin
Dalby
Aka: Snout
The club's born-again non-vegetarian though the slight build
of this seasoned performer would belie that. Has had an insatiable
desire, in stints as club Secretary, to write copious amounts
of drivel in weekly reports. Also loves doodling with desktop
publishing and, as a result, has gleefully forced this website
upon the membership.
His swing has been described as "graceful" though,
in recent seasons, has struggled somewhat, with performances
more "disgraceful". However still managed 3 wins in
each of the Spring Classic and Christmas Cup. Inaugural winner of the Burswood Cup and
third in the number of overall award wins. |

Tom
Joseph
Aka: Little Master;
Harbijan, Top End
One of the club's two "younger" members. Famous off
course for his curry puffs and one-time silky hockey skills. Brings
common sense and well-grounded ideas and innovations with colourful
flair and an infectious sense of humour. Corporate ABS high flyer which has limited his appearances in recent seasons. Despite this, our nuggety and persistent golfer comes in sixth in the number
of awards won. Inaugural winner of 4 awards including 2
Majors (Spring Classic; Christmas Cup).

Ron
Allardice
Aka: Ex Master Blaster; Chalk 1, Ronzo
GBWGC's elder statesman and generous benefactor who, with son
Steve, has facilitated unprecedented mobility to the club's
golfing calendar with tournaments based in Binningup and the
Mornington Peninsula. A veritable ball of energy and prolific
ideas man whose many (and humorous) fines and other novelty
fundraising ventures have left the members broke and club finances
booming. One time principal shareholder in the Clan Campbell distillery but now imbibes on softer options.
Powerful golfer both in physical and vocal ability. Inaugural
winner of the prestigious Binningup Mug, has wins in most award
categories, particularly Match Play and Long Drive, and currently runner-up in the number of club awards won.

Steve
Allardice
Aka: Iron Man; Wood
Man; Chalk 2
Proud Platinum Sponsor
of the club. Despite many business and family commitments,
made good time on the golf course as well as very
generous and greatly appreciated personal and material contributions.
Has a love of fast cars as the Valium-popping Secretary can
testify after various riparounds in Steve's (one time) flashy lime green
rocket. Very successful business operator in a highly competitive
field. Also a proven successful golfer in a highly competitive field
with 4 award wins – all of them Majors, including three
highly prized Mornington Masters wins (2009/2011/2013). Finally graduated
from ferocious irons off the tee to equally ferocious woods.
Business commitments sadly prevented him from playing after the 2016-17 season but he is still keen to continue when his situation changes.

Graham
Walker
Aka: Walks; Phantom
A man for all sporting seasons, with cricket, softball, tennis
(highly credentialed) and golf listed in his CV. Very committed
clubman (not to any institution though) but tends to get distracted
at major away events by stray SODUKO puzzles.
Made the transition to golf in spectacular style as anyone who
has witnessed those rocket-fuelled drives and long irons will
testify. His win in the Eclectic (2007–08) was a hint of
things to come from this big hitter confirmed over the seasons by most wins as Club Champion and Masters Jacket winner.

Chris Jackson
Aka: Jacko; Tundra Terror
Chris has been a long time member of the club but his employment meant playing most of his earlier golf in outback Russia where he served as the club's Cultural Attache in such unpronouncable places as Krasnoyarsk,
Strezhevoy and Zapolyarny. Jacko has settled permanently in the club's home state and permanently into retirement. He's making his mark as the club low handicapper and the current leader in number of club awards won. He kindly donated the original Mornington Masters trophy. |

Graham Squance
Aka: Squancey
Squancey joined in the 2011–12
season. Arrived at the club after a true 'journeyman' life having lived in Perth, Melbourne, Brisbane, Russia, London and the United States. Now happily settled in WA and into some competitive golf, impressing with both Consistency and Eclectic wins and successes in the Joondalup Classic (2012–13) and the Binningup Open (2013–14). Turning in power performances both on and off the course. More successes to come. |

Brian Pink
Aka: Pinky
As Australian Statistician, Brian has had a long association
with most now-ABS-retired GBWGC members. A keen golfer,
he had limited time to groove his swing until retirement finally caught up with him. His first club appearance was at the 2009
Mornington Masters, an event he has always been keen to attend. Now residing in the sunny state, he's a regular and competitive member notching up his first major win in 2018 – the prestigious Joondalup Classic. Is a two-times Match Play Champion. Expect a lot more from this keen student of the game. |
