...technically, (and anally retentively pedantic

) they would throw a "kylie"

not a "boomerang".

I always hated the idea of high school tennis teams, and golf even worse. Obnoxious rich kids, for the most part.

In recorded history, no one has ever called "my buddies from the golf team" to give him a tow/sleep on his couch/bail him out of jail/help clean up the mess.

Australian tennis was always a little different -- guys like John Newcombe and Fred Stolle struck me as blokes, regular guys. And speaking of moaning, Newcombe had a bona fide porn star 'stache

An article in The Guardian about Australia Day awards:

...
Another AM was Kelwin Pell, 88, who can’t be found on Google but is part of the fabric of the Bendigo sporting community.
A boundary umpire in the Bendigo Football League for 25 years between 1947 and 1972, Pell – a fitter and turner who worked on the railways “and went through the steam engine phase” – was the founding member and secretary of the Bendigo East Tennis Club, secretary of the Bendigo Tennis Association between 1952 and 1976, founder and administrator of Bendigo Country Tennis Week for 25 years, and a founding member (in 1974) and past executive member of the Bendigo Athletics Club – where he also coached.
“I suppose it was because I was really interested in the sports,” Pell told Guardian Australia about why he contributed so many years to amateur sport, “and it was good to give young people a chance to develop and to be part of a community.”
And how much did he earn from the decades he dedicated to sport in Bendigo?
“Nothing in terms of money, they were honorary jobs in those days” he said. “But I did get a lot of satisfaction.”

...and the bloke who turned his house into a multi-roomed distillery?

No where to be seen amongst the Australia Day Awards.

Mind you, amongst the many distilled brews were Midori and Jägermeister so I guess that's why he missed out.
