Pinnacle Nov 2006

Monthly game played at the new Pinnacle Point Golf Club in Mossel Bay on Sunday 19th November. The weather forecast for the weekend looked very sour, but was not bad at all considering. We played off forward tees and the course was in pretty good shape. It was a first time for most of us, and our national executive committee and all captains and vice-captains joined us for the day. Thanks very much to our hosts for allowing us to host our monthly game there.



Our thanks to our numerous local and national sponsors for the day,and a special mention to Pick 'n Pay Minipick Family Store for the Andrew Mentis Hamper.





We hosted a good field of 138 players. We started the evenings events with our AGM which was followed by prize giving. The fines session for the day was conducted by our national Junior Vice, Alf Duncan who had some interesting stories. Well done to the Pink Ladies for having the prize sheet finished even before the AGM.





Ian MacCauley received his 10 year tie.
We inducted the following people into Nomads :-
Ken Spencer, Jan Mantel, Christo Langenhoven & Marius Gericke.
