Captains Report The weather played along and the game at Schoemanpark on 14 August was well supported and enjoyed by all. We had 56 players in the field with 4 visitors. Many thanks to members for inviting your guests. Special thanks to the Schoemanpark Staff, Lynnette, Ian and Estelle are always willing to help and to make our games enjoyable and special. The course was not at its best as greens was hollowtined, but it was the same for all. Definitely did not help my game at all!! First hole in one since I became a Nomad. Well done Ike Heyns, you showed that the best way to putt on hollowtined greens, is not to at all. Well played and you held it together until the end and made a smashing 38 point and was crowned champ of the day. Well done!! Prize Giving is getting better and better. Many thanks to the whole committee for your efforts, one can see the difference. Scores were reasonable and the day s average was not to shabby 28.7 for the day. An initiative was implemented at our last game where Nomads can sponsor Clothes and Food to Ons Kinderhuis. This will be our community project for the rest of the year and we would like to make a difference every month in the lives of the children. Please support this initiative and if you feel you would like to get involved in another way, feel free to contact Gert or myself for details. Sponsor of the day Many thanks to Audi Bloemfontein for sponsoring our August Game. Many thanks to Nomad Wessel Mostert in this regard and arranging the sponsorship. Snacks was sponsored by Imperial. Thanks Hein Viljoen. In closing just a reminder of all tours coming up in the next 2 months, as well as Golforama duties in Sishen. Good luck to all participating members and remember to have fun. Please get involved and support the Nomads Brand. Support our Local and National Sponsors where you can. Hope to see you all at our next Game on 4 September at Bloemfontein Golf Course. Make a Difference!!! Have a Good One!! 5
