Boland Challenge 2007

A dozen so Boland Nomads joined 20some Pinkies at Stilbaai golf club on Sunday 23 September to fight it out for the John Mundell Trophy.


After our cold windy practice round on saturday, we were welcomed by windy, cold and rain on sunday. The Bolanders trampled all over us in the bad weather, and were very worthy winners on the day.

Our captain, John Richards hands over the trophy to Frank vsn Zyl, the captain of Boland. We will wait another year and see what happens.


In the traditional Nomads spirit, captain John Richards hands over the Southern Cape presentation to the Stilbaai club president. This new bell will hopefully ring plenty of times, and hope that more nomads will see it in their clubhouse.

Pinnacle Point Sept 2007

Monthly game played at the stunning Pinnacle Point Golf Course on Sunday 9th September. Once again, we had great weather, whick is quite a treat on this golf course. But alas, my game was left in ruins somewhere. Thanks to the great golf played by Ian Norgard, director of golf, it would have otherwise been a miserable day for me. Many thanks to the staff of the club for a great day. Also, many thanks to our Pink Ladies, Berti, June & Helen for all your dedicated work.




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

Tannah Harris was our finesmaster for the day, and he nailed us on balls lost. Had everyone stayed for prizegiving we would have raised more than R400 on this.







We met Chris Edwards on the 18th green with champagne and celebrated his 200 games. Les Marais, our vice, received his 100 game badge, and we inducted Zack de Beer & Willem Oosthuizen.
