Boland Challenge
Although Boland like to call this the Southern Challenge, not realising that we already have the Southern Challenge against S Natal.
Yep, Yep Yep, your captain has gone and done it again – LOST again – by a meagre . 13 of a point !!
Never-the- less, a loss is a loss. A mitigating factor is that we had 30 odd players against their 14 players, which immediately puts the favour their way, as we take the average score per players per side, and thus the larger the split, the more it favours the smaller team.
Enough !, we lost.!!
Our JVC , John Richards, recommended that maybe I should remain as captain for another year, just so that I could have another chance to redeem my tarnished record.??!!- this did not make me feel any better !
A large thank you to Mark Ward-Able and his committee, for allowing us the privilege to play on their course. The day turned out to be a huge success, enjoyed by all, especially the Nomadic camaraderie , which is ever present.
I had the privilege of playing with Mark ( Still Bay’s Captain), Alfie Duncan, (Boland Captain) and Tom de Kock, the Still Bay President. What a gas.
Alfie arrived without a winks sleep the previous night,- and he looked it, and proceeded to pick up his ball on the very first green, while still having a 5 inch putt for a point – he could not count !! After much laughter and ribbing, I proceeded to do the same on the par 5 , 7th hole. You can imagine the bollocking I got !! (after S-----g all over Alfie on the 1st – I was his partner !!) Suffice it to say , we lost everything, including the press !
If you guys think I chirp a lot on the course, wait till you play with Alfie. I come a poor second.
After expecting rain all day, we fortunately (only for the players), did not have a drop, - a beautiful day.
My thanks and compliments to Flats Huisamen for organising a well run tournament, and to our own Match Secretary, Berti, who sacrificed a full day to assist Flats with taking the entry fees and doing the score cards after the game.
Our gratitude also to Graeme Robb, from Timber City, who sponsored the day’s prizes, as well as to the Boland team who also donated a few prizes.
Harry “Rondevoet” de Villiers, Mario Jonker and Fanie du Plessis did the braaing, which went down very well. Thanks guys.
All in all, a lovely day, and thank you to all our Nomads who supported us.
From your Captain
