I played Golf with Dave on Friday 25th Oct. He had a great round scoring 40 stableford points. He was in good form, happy and displayed his usual friendly outgoing personality. As a reasonably new AGC member I always found Dave to be welcoming and positive. It shocked me to learn of his sudden passing. I send my heart felt condolences to Tina and the wider Esler family.
