Jollie testing conditions

20 November 2015

Rollover offers his thanks to Aberdeen Asset Management's Brett Jollie for an invitation to play golf with 1999 British Open winner, Paul Lawrie at NSW Golf Club last month.

Rollover also offers his commiserations because, not for the first time, Sydney's spring weather intervened to make the Aberdeen golf day a little more challenging than might otherwise have been the case. According to the hardy golfers who teed-off, the wind blew, the rain sheeted and there was hardly a dry seat to be found.

None of this bothered Rollover who, due to commitments involving the annual Super Review/Money Management Women in Financial Services Awards, found himself unavailable for the Aberdeen event.

Those who attended have assured Rollover that while the weather saw golf confined to around nine holes, this was more than made up for by the experiences of Paul Lawrie and the convivial environment at the 19th hole.

Rollover's analysis was that it was double bogey weather but an eagle outcome and a Jollie good time had by all.

Rollover is a jaded hack who joined the staff of Super Review nearly two decades’ ago and never managed to summon the energy to leave. Known throughout the superannuation industry as a power-luncher and gossip, Rollover spends his time humouring fund managers, eavesdropping at conferences, dozing through briefings and looking for his next free meal.
