    I've moved everyone's posts to this new thread, as it shouldn't be hidden away in another thread.

    RIP Daves. A great contributor here, and organiser of many OZgolf rounds.

    Great bloke and always enjoyable to have a round with. Played a few Reddy Bay events with Daves in years gone by. The golfing gods will be enjoying his wisdom. RIP

    I am sad to hear this news.

    Daves was an Ozgolfer I connected with immediately as we had many things in common. A love of golf obviously, but also music, and sadly experience of skin cancer. I hope that wasn't the cause of his passing. We were similar in age as well.

    Thanks also to Blakey for posting the news. I didn't know about it until reading this.

    RIP Daves.

    We crossed paths at OzGolf Champs in three states over the last decade. A true gentleman and a great bloke.

    Thank you for your contributions to the forum.

    Gonna be one heck of a garage sale for the lefties.

    Dave helped me out with some club builds. I didnt ask becuase he was cheap ( and he didnt need the money), its because I trusted his work. He is an exceptional tradesman for a corporate finance banker gonna miss his work and friendship.

    Sad to hear this.

    I never met him in person, but he was quite pleasant to converse with on here over the years.

    I liked how he thought almost everyone in the world was an idiot but opened up that black marker group to anyone who wanted a hit.

    Speaking of that. We can do an annual Daves blackmarker event at Redland bay, every July. Everyone has to bring two drivers

    Some kind words were spoken and we remembered Dave. There were even some photos from OzGolf champs on the display. Glasses were raised on behalf of everyone here, and your kind words passed on. RIP mate.
