Nomads News Official Newsletter of Nomads Golf Club Perth Western Australia

The ink was scarcely dry on the March issue of Nomads News and

here we are, plugging away at the April issue.

Due to prior arrangements, I sadly missed the game at Wanneroo

but I have it on good authority that the weather was excellent (and

by a look at the scores, not too shabby a day either.

We had the privilege of hosting Richard Plumb (Immediate Past

President of Nomads South Africa and WP Nomads member) and his

son, Grant at Wanneroo.

Captain Hector also handed over the proceeds of the 2017 Charity

Day to Paul McCormack, an ambassador of The Black Dog Institute.

(see more on this in the Captain’s Corner)

A couple of issues relating to late withdrawals have turned around

and bitten us. Discussions around this can be found in Shooting From

The Lip on Pg. 3 of this issue.

With our 5th Anniversary celebrations just around the corner, B and

his team are busy crossing T’s and dotting I’s to ensure two

memorable events on our calendar.

Ken Llloyd and The “Fr”-editor, locally based Nationals Coordinators

have sent out EOI’s to those interested in participating in the 10th

Australian Nationals Tournament in October. More on this on pg.15

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.”

HARTFIELD –

01.05.16

Captain’s Corner

Today was a glorious day for golf, but also a very special day for us as the Nomads Golf Club (Perth) as

we received the thanks from Paul McCormack, an ambassador of the Black Dog Institute for our

donation of $6,872.74 that we raised at our charity day in 2017, thanks to the efforts of my committee,

our club and friends of Nomads.

Today, we have given effect to one of our main objectives as Nomads namely, to generate funds for

those who are less fortunate than us by making our humble donation. We wish the Black Dog Institute

all the best with the wonderful work that it does for such an important cause, mental health.

Thanks again to everyone who supported our charity day and we hope to see you at our 2018 charity

day.

It was my pleasure to induct Gary Wilmot into the Nomads family. Welcome Gary, may your stay with

Nomads be long and fruitful

Fellow Nomads, I am pleased to advise that membership renewals for 2018 are now complete and we

are now in a position to pay over capitation fees to Natex over the next few weeks. Thank you to those

who have renewed and to those who have taken (I hope), a short hiatus away from Nomads, enjoy the

break and we hope to see you back in the future.

Various sub-committees are hard at work finalising, amongst others, our 5th Anniversary Dinner & Game

in July, 10th Australian Nomads Nationals in October and 2018 Charity Day in November. I urge you to

become a part of this, embrace the hard work these folks are putting into their, already full working

days, and support these events.

That’s All Folks, see you at Hartfield, May 6th

Hector

SHOOTING FROM THE LIP………..

“They say actions have consequences and every action has a reaction – I have it on good

authority that the club has been billed for the additional carts brought in especially for the NvS

match that had to be cancelled and it gets worse…..at our last game at Wanneroo we, as a

club, got charged the full player fee for the day instead of the game fee quoted. How do we

recover from this? Do we cut our losses or do we attempt to recover the loss by some ways”

Ed’s response – Thanks for raising your concerns. This issue will receive the committees’ full

attention at their next meeting.

“Thanks Mr “Fr”-Editor for another great issue of Nomads News. Each month’s edition just

gets better and better and I eagerly await the next issue I do, however, have a

question…..How many Perth Nomads actually read the newsletter or, for interest sake, follow

the Facebook page?”

Ed’s response – Thank you for your kind words. As far as I know most Perth Nomads read

Nomads News and we have a large following from other Nomads clubs around the country as

well as in Southern Africa. Our Facebook page is followed by around 180 people many of

which aren’t even Nomads members so it is pleasing to see that we’re being followed and

that our message is getting across.

PS. We are looking into giving Nomads News a facelift in the not too distant future.

Have your say and use this column to have your say (and be heard), vent your spleen, have a hissy fit, spit your dummy,

positive (or negative) feedback, etc. You may remain anonymous if you wish – so no names, no packdrill. E-mail your

submission to the “Fr”-Editor at fredmeijer05@bigpond.com who will ensure that all is above board and that no-one is

hurt during, what could at times, be confronting reading matter

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. –

New Stock in store Now!

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 Autumn!....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……..

takeaway – The initial stage of the backswing when any chance of

hitting decent shot is removed entirely.

tap-in – A putt short enough to lip out with a one-handed stroke or

rocket past the hole with a left-handed slap with the back of the

putter.

target line – An imaginary line from a player’s lie to the target which

the ball would follow if an imaginary golfer hit it.

tee – Small wooden peg on which the ball is placed for a drive from

the teeing ground. The condition of the tee after the shot provides an

indication of whether or not the ball was hit correctly. If the tee flips

backwards and lands in one piece a few inches behind the place

where it was inserted into the turf, the ball was probably hit well. If the

tee breaks into three or more pieces, is driven deeper than two inches

into the ground, travels further than the ball, or catches fire, it

probably wasn’t.

teeing ground – A clearly defined rectangular are 2 club-lengths in

depth from where the player hit the shot 20 to 30 club-lengths directly

forward or 5 to 10 flub-lengths to either side.

tee-off – To drive a ball off the tee. Players who have made their

drives off a tee are said to have teed off, but at this point it is almost

always correct to say they are teed off.

tempo – The rhythm or timing of a swing. Most skilled golfers pace their

swings with a deliberate count of “one-and-two”; most hackers pace

their swings with an immediate count of “TWO!”

Texas wedge – Slang term for a putter used to hit a low, running shot

from well off the green. Similar terms are “Florida Putter” for a driver

used to hit a weak, half-topped shot that doesn’t reach the Ladies’

Tee, and the “Myrtle Beach Driving Iron” for a skulled sand wedge that

sends a ball out of a bunker and into the middle of an adjacent

fairway.

tight lie – Term for a situation in which the ball comes to rest on very

short grass or a bld spot or hardpan, a poition also known as a “close

lie”, an “original lie”, a “preliminary lie”, a “previous lie”, or a “former

lie”,

tip – a free piece of advice offered by a fellow player, which is the

only thing in the entire game of golf that is worth exactly as much as

you paid for it

10th Australian Nomads Nationals
