Plett Aug 2007

Monthly game played at the Plettenberg Country Club Golf Course on Sunday 12th August. This game was the day after the Seaboard Trophy, and once again played in tremendous weather. The rain the previous evening softened the course a bit. The course was in really good condition, and a special thanks Norman Slack and his committee and staff for allowing us the priveledge to play on their wonderful golf course. Also, many thanks to our Pink Ladies, Berti, June & Helen for spending a very long day and listening to all the Nomad gripes.

Our thanks to our numerous local and national sponsors for the day,and a very extra special mention to Koos van der Linde of Bogeyman in George for his generous sponsorship of the day. Thanks also to Checkers and Golden Harvest for the Andrew Mentis Hamper.

Boet Gericke was our finesmaster for the day, and his fine of how many players had played 5 games to equal our national chairmans visits to us was a good one. I am sure that there were quite a few S/Cape guys that should have paid in.


As it was our National Chairman, Glen Dalton, official visit to the club, we were addressed by him. It was a pleasure having him there, and we sincerely hope that he left well satisfied that we are alive and well and fulfill the nomad spirit.






Glen was accompanied by his wife Gail, and if this pic is any proof, we could have a new "Pink Lady".








Glen also assisted us in the induction of Raymond Botha, and a 10 year tie award to Flats Huisamen.
