Before you start banging your heads against the wall, don t worry, you will still receive your own personal copy via 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 5 th 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.

We are pleased to announce Team Perth for the 10 th Nomads Australia National Tournament. See pg 15 for details. Until Next Month Happy Golfing

3 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 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

4 SHOOTING FROM THE LIP.. Sadly, the Patron of Nomads Golf Australia, Peter Thomson CBE AO, passed away on Wednesday 20 th June 2018, at the age of 88.

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 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.

14 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, leathercovered 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)
