CUSACK, John D.

One of the eight founders of the club.

 

The photographs of John are:

1. John leaning against a car and holding a pair of sunglasses with a set of golf clubs nearby. The date of the photograph is unknown but likely to be early 1960s based on the model of the Holden car. This was before Melville Glades was formed and when John was a member of Royal Fremantle Golf Club.

 

2. This is believed to be John making a golf stroke, as suggested by co-MGGC Founder Tony Kelly. No identification of the photograph is available, but it is suspected to have been taken on the MGGC golf course and possibly just before the playing of golf officially commenced in May 1969. The background shows the type of trees typically found on MGGC and the far background is a sandy area that may indicate this was taken looking east from the first tee.

 

Both photographs were provided by John's daughter Anne Clugston as part of a broader donation of John's MGGC memorabilia. Anne was unable to provide more information regarding the photographs.
