Greetings Nomads,

Once again, we ventured into the unknown of target golf at the beautiful San Lameer golf course. To the Nomads and visitors who opted to play, well done chaps and by the score comparison you seemed to have devised a game plan of how to score some points on this incredible layout.

To the Management and staff of San Lameer a huge thanks for the effort and hospitality you offered the Nomads, the special attention offered to the Captain and Vice-Captain elevated them to celebrity status. Pity their golf was rubbish.

As the rest of us reflect on what was and what could have been, the latest member to walk around strutting his feathers like a peacock is none other than our treasurer, Andy Imrey, he had the pleasure of playing with Honorary Nomad, Mark McNulty and as he said no pressure, I just need to outscore him, which he managed to do by posting an impressive 39 points enough to win A. Div. What an honour to play with the great man himself.

During Prize Giving, Mark paid homage to the Nomad organisation and offered a few words of encouragement to all the golfers. His deep understanding of this fine game was truly something to hear.

As we approach our year end, and we start to rally ourselves for the inevitable AGM. This culminates in a search for a JVC and VC. Now your Captain and VC have had their hands full trying to steer this organisation in the direction both the Exec and Club members would approve of while trying to encourage members to take the leap of faith and step into the realm of JVC, VC and Captain . This however is proving to be a larger headache than normal, while other clubs may have an abundance of younger and eager members to fill the ranks, we are wanting in this field. I assume that if we offered Zimmer frames and Mobility scooters, we would have plenty of prospects. So, for the young at heart who would love to be Captain or even don the light blue blazer someday, now is the time and calling.

Our next game is at our home club Southbroom. It is our official birthday month and I encourage everyone to attend. For all the Nomads who have no clue as to our heritage this is the game and Prize Giving to attend. John Webster will enlighten us with brief history and inform you all just how special Southern Natal Nomads is.

So, from an injury affected Shaggy see you all at Southbroom.

Till next time keep it on the fairway.

Shaggy
