Nomads News Official Newsletter of Nomads Golf Club Perth Western Australia

Wow, I’m impressed......A record number of 52 Players turned up at the Gosnells

match. Well done Nomads Perth. Was it the later Tee-Off time? One wonders.

Given the fact that we are showing consistent growth we may expect bigger fields in

the future. Not so bad if you think about it. The more the merrier, I say.

Thanks to the efforts a few dedicated Nomads, I am pleased to report that our 1st ever

Sausage Sizzle, held on 19 June at Masters-Baldivis, was a tremendous success.

(See pg. 12) Now that this one is out of the way we look forward to hosting a few more

Sausage Sizzles during the course of the year, all in aid of WA Junior Golf

Development. Our target is $35000 and we envisage hosting a Junior Golf

Tournament at Secret Harbour during the first quarter of 2017.

The next “big event” on the calendar is the Nomads Perth Charity Day scheduled to be

held on Sunday 23 October 2016 at Secret Harbour – See Pg 10 for details.

The following weekend a fairly large contingent (13) of Perth Nomads will be winging

their way to Hope Island Resort near Brisbane to participate in the Australian Nationals

The “Fr-Editor would also like to take this opportunity to welcome on board the

following sponsors –

Studio B Manufacturing Jewellers

Kennect

Blu Grill (Woodlands)

WJ Dickason Electrical

Please support our sponsors in whichever way you can.

Until Next Month……………Happy Golfing

Captain’s Corner

Fellow Nomads, another month has come and gone and we very proudly

hosted 52 players at Gosnells on 12th June after having moved our regular

first Sunday of the month by a week to cater for the public holiday on the

6th. Well done to all the winners and a special thanks to all the guests that

joined us, some of which we look forward to receiving into the fold having

officially received their membership applications.

In terms of feedback on the pitch I made at the end of last year, I am

pleased to announce that our membership drive is moving in the right

direction. We currently have 58 members with a good couple in the

pipeline. I envisage that at the current rate of adoption and conversion we

should hit my target of 70 by the end of the year. Please remember that it is

through you word of mouth that we advertise our club so please keep

introducing people that you believe would become good nomads.

On the Junior Golf front I am pleased to say that our new portfolio allocated

to the Junior Vice Captain (Hector) has taken root. We have as mentioned

the first sausage sizzle that was held at Masters in Baldivis. This event was

successful even though we did make a few rookie mistakes. I believe that

our intent to move the next few sizzles to a Saturday and trying for later in

the rainy season when the weather warms, we will get greater results. My

very special thanks to some dedicated Nomads for their commitment of

time on the day. Just a reminder of the reason for choosing these types of

fund raisers as opposed to approaching the members, we aim to give each

and every Nomad the opportunity to partake by donating their time

without having to dig into our own pockets. I would hope that on advice of

the next event that our list of ‘volunteers’ will increase too.

With the weather conditions at this time of the year, it is perhaps apt to

remind all that we have some warm apparel on offer at really great prices

so please don’t hesitate to contact our Equipment Officer Garth for your

needs.

Hope Island draws ever nearer and I look forward to leading our band of 13

merry men into battle on the greens… Some of us eager beavers have

booked our flights, accommodation, phoned east coast mates and

arranged many ‘interesting’ outings. We have somewhat of a reputation to

uphold on the partying side at these events but remember gents, register

with Uber early to allow us to have fun but stay safe. Here’s hoping my

‘Sh1t’ or ‘Champagne’ golf is on one of its bubbly phases in October.

In closing gents, just a quick reminder that for those who have the financial

ability, we are still looking to get a few more sponsors through the door for

the club, remember, it is your club and as it grows in numbers, so the

opportunity to get support for your own businesses from fellow Nomads will

increase.

As a final reminder, the club will need to elect a new JVC at the end of the

year so please do start thinking of who from our membership you believe

would best serve our club. Nominations will open in November.

Keep on golfin……

RULES

CORNER by Neville Walker

.

EMBEDDED BALL

On the inside cover of the Rules of Golf there is a quote that says “Play the

ball as it lies, play the course as you find it, …..” However, now that there is a

possibility of rainy weather, it is good to know what the Rules and Decisions

say about an embedded ball.

At the courses we play we abide by the local rules shown on the scorecard

and the board normally situated outside the pro shop. Depending on the

condition of the course there may be a local rule that allows you to lift, clean

and place your ball on the fairway. In the case of an embedded ball there may

also be a local rule allowing you to take relief even though your ball is in the

rough.

There are two terms that concern where an embedded ball is situated:

“Through the Green” means the whole area of the course except

a) the teeing ground and putting green of the hole being played; and

b) all hazards on the course.

“Closely-mown area” means any area of the course including paths through

the rough cut to fairway height or less.

Rule 25-2 states that if a player’s ball is embedded (in its own pitch mark) in

any closely-mown area through the green, it may be lifted, cleaned and

dropped without penalty, as near as possible to the spot where it lay, but not

nearer the hole. Unless there is a local rule to cover the situation when your

ball is embedded in the rough, you must play it as it lies or take an unplayable

lie.

Handicapper’s

“Rantings”–

By Neville Walker

There are a number of points arising out of the scorecards from the Gosnells game…….

1. I would appreciate if you can help Michaela do her job of checking the

scorecards by first checking their accuracy before handing them in. We had

an unfortunate incident when the winner of the B division was initially

incorrect as both Player and Marker didn’t pick up the error on the scorecard.

2. The pressure of getting Prize-Giving started soon after the last group has

handed in their scorecards means that all irrelevant information on the

scorecard must not be shown.

I repeat again that if no score is made on the hole you should leave the

Gross column blank and show a 0 in the Points column. No dashes

etc. This makes checking faster.

(Fines will be applied for non-compliance as I spend at least 2 hours on

Monday entering hole by hole scores for every player on the Samson

software.)

3. It is also important that your print your name as Marker as your

initial/signature is not decipherable. This enables a quick cross checking of

scores if need be.

4. If you want to be rewarded for your Birdies you must see that your Marker

rings the Points column. It is not Michaela’s responsibility to check for birdies

that are not ringed.

5. We had 13 groups playing, but only 7 groups recorded their time.

Everyone in the remaining groups will be added to the Fines list for the

next game. (It will be up to the Captain to decide the fine as his group is one

of the defaulters)

6. The average time for the groups was 4:23.

Thank you to the Baldivis Community for your support of our first ever

attempt at a Sausage Sizzle which turned out to be a huge success.

Many thanks to our kind sponsors, Coles, Woolworths (Secret Harbour)

and Vaughan Nothnagel for offering us products free of charge or at

greatly reduced prices so we could raise as much as possible for WA

Junior Golf Development.

The final total raised at this event was $ 785.70 thanks to the efforts

of Lisa Nothnagel and Mum Sheila, Hector West, Jono Du Plessis, Garth

Ellis, Hilton Jackson, Neil Currin, Adam and Fred Meijer.

We now look forward to doing follow-up Sausage Sizzles at Bunnings –

Port Kennedy, Rockingham and Joondalup during the course of the

year.

GOLF QUIPS

golf.ing a duffer’s dictionary by Henry Beard & Roy McKie,

continued……..

birdie – A Mulligan, the best of one or more “practice swings”, and a

20-foot “gimme” putt.

bite – 1. Descriptive term for the way a ball “sucks back” after hitting

the green due to a powerful backspin applied by an expert golfer.

2. Identical term with a different meaning used to describe bad shots

hit by hackers which also “bite” and “suck”

blind hole – A hole whose green is not visible from the tee, thus

requiring a player to rely on senses other than sight, such as the sound

of an unseen golfer being struck by al ball, the smell of trouble, the

taste of fear, and the feel of the soft moss during a crawl through the

woods.

body English – Informal term for vigorous leaning or twisting movements

that players make to “persuade” a ball to go in the desired direction.

If these antics fail to have the intended effect, they are often followed

by a series of vulgar hand and arm motions known as body Spanish,

body French, or body Italian.

bogey –The number of strokes taken on a hole recorded by a golfer of

average skill and above-average honesty.

borrow – The amount of break in a putt, which can be decreased by

repeatedly lifting the ball from the green, marking it, and replacing it

closer to the holes on a process known as the “steal”

bounce – A sudden kick or rebound made by a ball that is either totally

and completely unfair or just exactly what you intended.

brassie – Old name for the 2-wood which often had a brass sole-plate.

The 3-wood was once known as a “spoon”, the 4-wood as a “baffle”

and the 7-iron as a “mashie-niblick”. A club wrapped around a tree is

a “smashie”. If it is flung into a water hazard, it is a “splashie”. If it has a

slippery grip, it is a “bashie”. And any club allegedly used to score a

hole-in-one is a “fibstick” if it’s and iron or a “fablespoon” if it’s a wood.

bunker – A hazard consisting of an area of ground along a fairway or

adjacent to a green from which soil has been removed and replaced

with something designed to trap golfers. If such a hazard occupies

more than 2000 square feet and traps golfers permanently, it is referred

to as a “condominium.

buried lie –Descriptive term for a ball sitting down so deeply in the

rough that it is almost impossible to get a shoe on it.

“C” next month’s episode………(couldn’t resist that one)
