Speech written by Tennis
Russell at Mid-Nite
before winning 1st
Major at Donnington
Grove
THEY SAY YOU’RE ONLY AS
GOOD AS YOUR LAST GAME!
WELL I GUESS THIS MAKES
ME No 1 TODAY!!!!
THIS FIRMLY PUTS THE
BRISOL POSSE FIRMLY AT
THE TOP OF THE TREE
LIKE MANY SPEECHES
BEFORE ME, IT’S TAKEN A
LONG TIME TO SHAKE THIS
MONKEY OFF MY BACK!! I
KNEW THOUGH, IT WAS ONLY
A MATTER OF TIME.
I AM A VERY COMPETIVE
PLAYER
THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE
PLAYED WITH ME MIGHT
DESCRIBE ME AS ICECOOL,
NO TANTRUMS, NO CUSSING,
NO THROWING CLUBS JUST
GOING BOUT MY BIZZNIZ!
TO BEAT ME YOU HAVE TO
GO TO THE WIRE!
I FORGOT TO WEAR MY
YELLOW SILK SUIT, I KNOW
YOU ALL WANT ONE! THE
CAPTAIN ASKED ME IF I
COULD WEAR IT WHEN I WON
SO THAT HE COULD TAKE A
PICTURE WITH ME AGAIN!
AS YOU CAN SEE I’M A MAN
OF VISION MANY
PREDICTIONS.
I DID TELL OUR CAPTAIN
THAT I WAS PREPARING MY
WINNING SPEECH, WELL I
DID IT LAST NITE, HERE
IT IS!!!!!
I HAVE TRAVELED MANY
MILES OVER PAST 5/6YEARS
TO PLAY WITH YOU GUYS
AND COLLECT MY BANK
STANDING ORDERS FROM THE
USUAL SUSPECTS.
THIS YEAR FOR THE FIRST
TIME I HAVE FELT A
MOVEMENT IN THE ACGA. IN
MY OPINION THIS HAS BEEN
THE MOST EFFICIENT,
ENJOYABLE, ENTERTAINING
AND EVENTFUL YEAR OF
ALL.
I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION
4 THINGS THAT HAVE
INSPIRED ME DURING MY
TIME WITH ACGA:
-
I WOULD LIKE TO
THANK OUR CAPTAIN
FOR HIS STRONG
LEADERSHIP SKILLS,
SETTING THE
STANDARDS AND
RAISING THE BAR FOR
FUTURE CAPTAINS TO
FOLLOW. NUFF RESPEC!!
-
THE COMMITTEE FOR
CREATING NEW IDEAS,
BEING ACCOUNTABLE,
TRANSPARENT AND
CREATIVE. NUFF
RESPEC!!
-
ALL YOU GUYS FOR
MAKING US ‘FARMERS’
FEEL WELCOME WHEN WE
TAKE HOME THE
TROPHY’S. NUFF
RESPEC!
-
LAST BUT NOT LEAST,
I WOULD LIKE TO
DEDICATE THIS TROPHY
TO SOMEONE WHO, WHEN
I FIRST CAME TO ACGA,
I WAS TOTALLY
IMPRESSED BY HIM; I
MISS HIS LAUGHTER; I
ADMIRED THE WAY HE
WENT ABOUT HIS
BIZNIZZ AND THE TIPS
HE OFTEN GAVE ME.
THAT MAN WHO IS
STILL CALLING ME, IS
DARYL OXLEY –AKA
‘THE OX’! HIS ACGA
RECORD –13 MAJORS-
SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.
ONE THAT I HOPE TO
EMULATE DURING MY
TIME WITH ACGA. I AM
CERTAIN MANY OF YOU
WHO KNOW HIM SHARE
MY SENTIMENTS.
THIS ONLY LEAVES ONE
MORE THING TO SAY I WILL
BE BACK TO DEFEND MY NO
1 POSITION AND WON’T
CHOKE LIKE DEANO WHEN I
GO FOR MY TRIPLE BACK
TO BACK!!!
