Kainey, far right, nearly wins the green jacket

With the Vietnam Swans 4th Annual Golf Classic at Royal Ivanhoe just days away (29 December), former President, Dave “Flyer” Kainey has written to the Blog to bravely declare:

Played Ivanhoe (last Wednesday) and carded an 84. Cannot be at the Swans golf day as I am spending Xmas in Bali but wanted to set the bar for the golf day. I was on truckin’ fire, Sunshine. Witnessed also.

Last year, organiser of the Swans Golf Classic, Mr Ryan (pictured on left) deservedly won the Green Jacket in an absolute pressure cooker situation with a stoic 86 – just two swings clear of Snags Canty (now in Argentina) who was breathing down his neck. Flyer Kainey (pictured on right) scored 92.

True, with an 84, all other things being equal, Kainey would have won last year’s tournament. But he didn’t score 84 last year.

Earlier in the year, when the designers proposed a new jumper for us that had a Soft Swan on the front, there was a resounding response of “Harden the Duck up!”

Kainey, if you have something to say, let your sticks do the talkin’ or, otherwise, tell your story walkin’ in Bali!
