Ken’s Korner - February 2013
Fellow Nomads,
January just seemed to fly in and bluster out and
before you had a chance to say “white rabbit”.
February's already upon us and almost complete in
the process being a busy month with Boland's 20th
Anniversary nicely inter-spaced between January's Game at
Humewood and February's OMIPSA game at “The Hill”.
Six of us represented Eastern Cape at Boland's Anniversary
celebration. The trip down with VC Stuart at the wheel and
youngsters Pat Phillips and Roy Skinner bickering in the back seat
was something else altogether. Langkloof and a customary stop
at Robbie's Sex Shoppe in the Klein Karoo with the barometer at
40oC was a welcome relieve. We made it in time for the welcome
cocktail party and friendships were renewed over a few cold
“frosties” and pizzas from the Stellbosch GC oven!!
The Anniversary dinner was held under the stars at Hansie van
Niekerk's Knorhoek Wine Estate and proved to be an amazing
success even if the wind did bluster a little. The next day's game at
Stellenbosch proved a challenge for just about everyone and there
were no Eastern Cape mention in the prize-list. I had the honour of
playing against Alten Hulme, Boland Captain, and if I remember
correctly, wound up paying a little for the priviledge. Great
hospitality and a great time had by all.
February's monthly game at Port Elizabeth Golf Club included our
annual OMIPSA challenge and I must apologize for the poor
communication of the format for the day. A decision was taken to
simplify the scoring by simply adding the 2 scores together. This
was not well communicated for which I must shoulder the blame.
There was some concern that playing off Nomads handicaps
would adversely affect our qualifiers in the Regional and National
events. Nomads handicaps will have no bearing in future events
as both the Regional and National events use an average of the
qualifier's past 2-year handicaps with a maximum 20% variation
allowed for recent changes.
My thanks to all that entered the OMIPSA competition on the day.
Our 39 pairs earned us two entries and best of luck to Cobus, Peter,

Ken’s Korner - February 2013 (Cont)
Byron and Kerry as they move to the Regional play-offs. Thanks
also to prospective Nomad Sheldon Holdsworth for so ably
representing Old Mutual at our prize-giving; bodes well for the
future!!
The Port Elizabeth Golf Club was in great shape on the day and my
appreciation and congratulations to Barry, David and all the
course and catering staff at “The Hill” for making our visit to your
club a memorable one.
I had the pleasure of playing with John Skinner on his first game
back after an extended lay-off and we were paired against the
formidable pairing of Mike Lourens and Ian Macauley. On another
day it would have been a pleasure watching first Mike and then Ian
blast their drives 300-metres plus down the middle, fairway after
fairway after fairway. Mike took the overall honours in the B
Division on the day and John and I wound up paying our dues;
thanks for coming!!
It was an absolute pleasure to
induct another two Nomads into the
fold. A hearty welcome to Robert
Falkner and Simon Wilcox; may
your association with Nomads be a
long and rewarding experience.
One nice thing about being Captain
is that you at least get to handle the
trophies even though it's only to
present to someone else on the
day!! Maybe next time!! Our next
game is just around the corner at
Uitenhage on the 10th March.
Remember that registration opens
1-hour before the 1st tee-off time at
11h00. I look forward to seeing you
all there.
Until next time.
Ken

Fellow Nomads.
February found us competing at the Port Elizabeth Golf Club
for the monthly game as well as the Old Mutual
International Pairs of South Africa competition. Many
thanks to PE Golf Club staff for the friendly welcome to the course and
clubhouse. The damage from the recent flash flood was still evident, pity
the rain has to do damage as well as good when falling to earth. The
weather was quite acceptable to start proceedings but became a bit nasty
as the game progressed. My partner, Dennis Jones, really struggled and was
a hot favourite to take home his own donated prize for the day, the dreaded
Teddy. Fortunately for him, someone else in the field managed to play
worse than he did and saved him the embarrassment. Needless to say, we
lost our private game against the ever steady Andre Heunis and Nico Smit,
but still had an enjoyable day in their company.
Well done to the winners on the day, with Stuart McLeod again coming first
in the A division, ensuring again his qualification for Gold Cup in December.
Well done to the two winning pairs who will represent Eastern Cape Nomads
at the regional final in the OMIPSA competition and we wish you everything
of the best in progressing to the final later in the year – it is a wonderful
experience playing at Zebula with the carrot at the end of the stick being
an overseas trip to represent our country at the world finals.
I enjoyed witnessing the induction of two new Nomads on Sunday, Robert
Falkner and Simon Wilcock, may your stay at Eastern Cape Nomads be a long
and happy one. It was nice to see that Simon's mother, Pat Wilcock, was
present to witness her son being inducted. Simon's father, the late John
Wilcock, was a proud Nomad himself, having started his Nomadic career in
the Border and then moving to Port Elizabeth for a long while before his
passing away a few years ago.
We look forward to seeing you all at Uitenhage Golf Club on 10th March for
our next monthly game. Shortly after this, the team to represent Eastern
Cape Nomads at the National Tournament at Ebotse in Benoni depart with
only one thought in mind, to bring back the Bert Hunt trophy!
Good Golfing

“Tales” from Long Faced JVC
Game number 2 of the year.
We played at Port Elizabeth Golf club, in blustery
conditions. Well done to the club for once again
giving us a well prepared course. My personal
thanks to Barry Harmer for assisting me with the
Whisky for the thirsty golfers that needed fuel before the 1st tee.
Now for the Tale
Got to the club Ultra early so that I could get the Alter set up. I was so
busy, I didn't even have time for my usual Hansa draft. My partner for
the day was my Gary player partner and National Junior Vice Captain,
Greg Clack. We were ready to shoot the lights out and take one of the
coveted Old Mutual Pairs spots. Epic fail. Our opposition was the ever
smiling Steve Pritchard who looked a little like a minstrel with his white
sun block all over his lips, and Rob Griffiths. Gentlemen thank you for
the game and your cash. Really enjoyed your company.
The last 4 ball came in at 17h30, and so I was looking at a 18h15 prize
giving. I tried to hustle the guys into the shower, but I was met with
laughter and jokes about my long face. It was also suggested that
perhaps I should shower first before I run around telling others to
shower. Point taken. Got prize giving off at 18h30.
Thanks to the 4 Altar bunnies (including Howard Lipman) for your help
afterwards in dismantling the alter. It is much appreciated
A little competition for you. In each of my articles there will be a
highlighted letter. Over the months, note the letters. Then unjumble the
letters and make a word. Email me the word. Winner by lucky draw will
get a lovely bottle of bells.
Nationals is round the corner, and entries are completed. The Frontier
Trophy and Rough Rider are on the 6th and 7th April, which is only 5
weeks away. There will be 20 places available. Entry forms will be out
shortly. If you are interested, mark it in your diaries now.
