Nomads News Official Newsletter of Nomads Golf Club Perth Western Australia

Time for change ………Nomads News will be going through some

significant changes in the very near future, making it not only easier

to read, but will also be incorporated onto our website where you

will be able to access specific topics and reports at the press of a

button. Before you start banging your heads against the wall, don’t’

worry, you will still receive your own personal copy via e-mail but for

those wanting a more choice, and to get the Nomads message out

there, the website would reach a wider readership and will give the

club an extra boost to the outside world and enable us to create

more interest and perhaps membership growth.

Our 5th Anniversary game is next on the cards and I would like to

draw your attention to the fact that a. we will be playing at

Joondalup Resort one of WA’s signature golf courses, b. you will

have the use of a cart. Costs for this game will higher than usual but

at $75 + $10 for the, very popular Money Draw. We will also have a

super-sized Raffle. Tickets for this will be on sale after the game at $5

for 5 tickets. Additional tickets may be purchased at $1 ea

Please remember to submit your intentions by not later than July 4th

via the normal on-line registration process.

We are pleased to announce Team Perth for the 10th Nomads

Australia National Tournament. See pg 15 for details.

Until Next Month……………Happy Golfing

“Fr”Editorial” by Fred Meijer

“No man is an island

entire of itself. Each man

is a piece of the

continent, a part of the

Maine. Any man’s death

diminishes me, because I

am involved in mankind.

Therefore never send to

know for whom the bells

tolls; it tolls for thee.”

Captain’s Corner

Our June game at Carramar started off on a wet and very windy day which luckily

turned shortly after tee off -for at least for the last few groups. I had the privilege to

play with Hennie Blom who scored 40 points on a challenging day and on his least

favourite course in Perth. Well done Hennie!

At our June game we had two guests, Andrew van Rooyen and Grove Patterson and

we inducted three new members, Adrian Briglia, Stefan Muller and Craig Macey. To

our guests, we hope you had a good time with us and hope to see you back soon,

hopefully as prospective members. To Adrian, Stefan and Craig, once again welcome

to the Nomads family.

As you now know, we have our 5th anniversary dinner on 7 July 2018 at Blue Grill and

our anniversary game at Joondalup on 8 July 2018. Our Nomads friends Mark Howard-

Browne (National President), Jo Landsberg (Past National President and Secretary)

and Myles Craye (National Junior Vice President) will be at the dinner and at the game.

Please make them all feel welcome.

Finally, you will see that the entries to the Nationals Tournament for 2018 have been

announced, subject to verification from the National Tournament organisers. We have

a waitlist for six of the Perth Nomads and will inform the individuals on the waitlist of an

opening as soon as it arises.

I look forward to seeing you at the dinner and / or Joondalup!

Best wishes, Hector

SHOOTING FROM THE LIP………..

Sadly, the Patron of Nomads Golf Australia, Peter Thomson CBE AO, passed away on

Wednesday 20th June 2018, at the age of 88. Peter had been suffering from Parkinson’s

disease for a number of years before his death.

Peter was the first Australian to win The Open and lifted the Claret Jug 5 times. He was a

prolific tournament champion around the world, winning more than 50 times.

He wrote for The Age in Melbourne, was a television commentator and served as President

of the Australian PGA for 32 years.

RIP Peter

NOMADS APARREL

By Garth Ellis

I have stock of the following. (If there is anything else you may be

after, come and talk to me so I can see what can be done)

Caps & Hats (floppy) – Have you mislaid, lost or wish to purchase a

spare? –

Shirts – Is your golf shirt starting to look a bit worn or just wanting

another shirt?

Socks – I’m sure that your socks have taken strain. –

Nomad Belts – Has your girth increased or decreased? – I may just

have the right size for you.

Jackets – Short Sleeved (reversible) – Stock up now for Winter....You

may l want to invest in a warm jacket. These come with the Nomads

Logo and your name embroidered.

Scorecard Holders – Keep your scorecard tidy and dry.

GOLF QUIPS

golf.ing, a duffer’s dictionary by Henry Beard & Roy McKie, continued…….

warm-up exercises – Although golf is not as physically demanding as

most other sports, it certainly doesn’t hurt to loosen up one’s muscles

before a round. Here are a few simple exercises designed to get you

ready for the day’s play:

Hold out your arm, make a fist and shake it back and forth, then open the

fist, palm facing inward, extend the middle finger, and pump your hand up

and down.

Kick at the ground, then stomp on it, first with your right foot, then with

your left, then jump up and down.

Take off your hat, grasp it in your hand, throw it on the ground, pick it up,

and repeat.

Raise your arms over your head, fists clenched, wave them vigorously, and

let out as loud a scream as you can, holding it for at least 10 seconds.

water hazard – Any boggle up waddup border burbled byb reb orb

yellob markglubs stakebles fromble whidg idg uz legalble, bub ofteb

inadvisabubble, tub tryb tub higgle thub ballablub.

whiff – Familiar term widely misused to describe a particularly fast and

powerful style of practice swing intentionally made directly over the

ball.

wind – Natural motion of the air. There are four basic winds that golfers

generally encounter on a course: a headwind; a wind that blows

squarely in their faces; a wind that blows from the green towards the

tee; and a wind that blows from a point directly in front of them to a

point directly behind them

woods – 1. Type of club used to hit a ball a long distance. 2. Place

where the ball lands after being hit a long distance.

wrist – In golfers, the swollen joint that connects a sore hand to an

aching elbow and throbbing shoulder.

X-outs – A series of “X’s” are printed over the brand name of some

golf balls to indicate that, because of some minor imperfections, they

are “seconds” and are sold at a deep discount from the price

normally charged for the ball. Although they seem very expensive,

golf balls are in fact a lot cheaper than they were in the early days of

the game, when the handmade, goosedown-stuffed, leather-

covered “featherie” or the rubber “guttie” represented a sizable

investment, but it can still be painful to lose one. Thus, golfers who

routinely hit errant shots will switch to an X-out ball on the hole with a

water hazard, or, if they really lack confidence, a “range ball” (one

taken from the driving range), a “smylie” (a ball with a deep cut in it),

or a “filchie” (a ball surreptitiously removed from another golfer’s bag)

10th NOMADS AUSTRALIA – NATIONAL TOURNAMENT
