Modderfontein, 13 th <strong>Oct</strong>ober <strong>2019</strong>- Captains Report<br />
Our first game at Modderfontein in the summer for a while was met with very hot<br />
weather and then a thundershower late in the day. The rain didn’t last long enough to<br />
cause any problems. Some decent showers will be gratefully received by all clubs in this<br />
searing heat.<br />
Terry and Cheryl, our early birds, were there bright and early to get the day off to a<br />
start. A big thank you to them once again. Gavin Adams had appointed Steve Davis and<br />
Rooster Naude to assist in the starting with the field running on time, well done and<br />
thank you guys.<br />
I must thank Dave Diesel and Peter Bailey for pitching in as sponsors for the day as our<br />
original sponsor was unable to oblige. It always amazes me how lucky we are to have<br />
members that react to the situation so quickly. My fourball consisted of these two gents<br />
and club chairman, Tony Fernandes, an old friend of <strong>Nomads</strong> that has participated in<br />
many Golforama events. Great conversation and discussion on new handicap rules but<br />
not very good golf.<br />
Congratulations to former captain Vic Langkilde on receiving his 10 year tie.<br />
We are happy to announce two new members that have returned to the <strong>Nomads</strong> community.<br />
Johnny Swanepoel joins from the Free State and Mike Drummond returns after<br />
a short absence from Lowveld.<br />
On Friday 11 th <strong>Oct</strong>ober the Andrew Mentis fundraiser night golf was held at Serengeti<br />
Par 3 course. A good field had entered and the evening was well organised by our VC<br />
Stephen Malherbe and Steve Bouwer. Well done guys and thanks to the ladies that<br />
helped and to all those that sponsored prizes. A few lessons were learnt and I’m sure<br />
these will be applied next year. Glenbrynth were also kind enough to give us a whisky<br />
tasting experience and our gratitude goes out to Derek Cuthbert and his team.

Modderfontein, 13 th <strong>Oct</strong>ober <strong>2019</strong>- Captains Report<br />
Later in the month 18 of our members plus Les set off to Swaziland for their nationals.<br />
This ia the most popular of all nationals and admittedly getting into the team is difficult<br />
as our representation has been halved from the early days. As usual it was a great experience<br />
and well organised. The incredible heat created thirsts and the Cowboy bar<br />
thrived. Watching the quarter final between the Biks and Japan was quite an experience<br />
for those of us that tee’d off early.<br />
Our next game on 3 rd November at Lake is a shotgun start at 6:30am. This is an experiment<br />
that has been requested on a national scale. Please ensure you are at the course<br />
between 5:30 and 5:45. Registering of your round will be up to you on any of the clubs 2<br />
terminals or can be done on a smartphone. Please report to the ladies to pay if and record<br />
your score predictions, pay to go etc. the only difference will be that Terry won’t be<br />
opening your round on the computer. Bring a towel for showering as there will be pressure<br />
at the end. The ladies showers will be available to shower in.
We wish to Thank our National Sponsors
