2 Volume 4 April 2018 Nomads News Official Newsletter of Nomads Golf Club Perth Western Australia Fr Editorial by Fred Meijer 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) Next Game HARTFIELD 6 th MAY 18 07h00 10 th Tee Cost: $55.00 (+ $10 for Raffles & Draws) Registration Closes on Wednesday, 2 nd May 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. 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 5 th 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 10 th Australian Nationals Tournament in October. More on this on pg.15

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

3 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, 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 5 th Anniversary Dinner & Game in July, 10 th 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

4 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. 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

14 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
