CAPTAIN SHOUTS FORE!
I thought the welcome we got at Glenvista was magnicent and, as usual, the bar was well supported after prizegiving, especially by the locals. Apparently, it was a close run thing for Gautengs version of Last Man Standing, between Gavin and Les Floyd, both of whom could crawl home! I played with the Vice Captain, Shaun Parsons, and despite their best efforts we managed to fend off the challenge from Ian Bradley and Richard Isaac (both new tie recipients that evening). Thanks Shaun. One serious post script to the game, is that there were AGAIN a large number of people who did not put their scores in within the required time. A total of 8 of you will be getting an e-mail from me, as well as the 16 people who have been cut by 2 shots, as they STILL have not put in their score from Glendower in. Gents, I know I am probably preaching to the converted through this report, but it is your own responsibility to ensure that your score is in. Even if you have given it to your club to enter, it remains your responsibility to check that they have done it. We are investigating a new system whereby if you have not put your score for a Nomads game in within the 72 hours, we will enter it for you, as a penalty score. Maybe that will produce a better result! Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the Durban July weekend, because the National Executive had organised a meeting at the Eastern Cape Anniversary weekend, which clashed with the July. For once the National M a n a g e m e n t M e e t i n g w a s ve r y productive and a detailed report is included in this months Inside Right, for those of you who are interested. The major outcome was that Gauteng has been asked to host the 50th Nationals Tournament in 2015, rather than their usual spot, which would have been in 2018. If anyone would like to volunteer for the job of Nationals Co-ordinator, applications are open! The anniversary game at Humewood was almost washed out due to heavy rain the day and night before. The hollows on the course were ooded, up to ten inches deep in places and you had to plot your way around the course with even more care than normal to avoid the ad hoc water hazards, then the greens were rm and fast! I managed to start with 7 black-outs, but avoided the matchbox, as there was a 14 pointer in from the morning eld, then the wind picked up. I could not stay for prize-giving, as my ight left at the same time, so I am not sure what the winning score was, but the general scores were atrocious in the morning and must have been worse in the afternoon! Hold thumbs for the Highveld Trophy this week, which is to be played between Northerns, Easterns and ourselves, at Blue Valley. We are the reigning champions, having won it at CCJ last year, when we hosted the Trophy, so lets hope we can hold onto it! The Andrew Mentis Golf Day is late in August (24th) and Spero is still looking for 4-balls for the game. It is the one opportunity for you to bring your nonNomads mates to see what Nomads is all about. Provided there is one Nomad in each 4-ball, you can bring 3 guests to the game. All the funds raised go directly to the chosen charity for the year and are applied directly to the cause (so nothing goes missing through administration fees, or whatever!) Last year, we built and equipped a computer centre for The Living Link in Parkhurst, who train intellectually challenged young adults to have employment opportunities and thereby become integrated into the mainstream of society. Each and every Nomad can be proud of his contribution to a long string of equally worthy causes through the last 52 years. Please give Spero, and Elizier Ministries, your support.

JUST ME We had a letter from Malcolm Fruin, in Canada, thanking us for his 40-year tie. He sends his regards and he is looking for an event at which he will wear his tie with pride. He would like to say hi to any of the older Nomads who might remember him. Congratulations to Malcolm and Joan on the occasion of their recent 55th wedding anniversary.
It seems like the Botswana Nationals is fully subscribed, however there are still two other Away Trips that you can go on. Firstly there is the Lowveld Quadrangular on the 1st weekend in October and then there is the Free State 15th Anniversary on the 1st weekend in November. The Entry Forms for both of these trips should be out quite soon.
