Nomads Golf Club of South Africa National PRO’s report to the 55 th National Council meeting held at East London Golf Club on Saturday, 7 th March 2020 Members of the National Executive Committee Honorary Life Members Past National Chairmen Captains Vice-Captains Junior Vice-Captains I am pleased to be able to present my last report as National PRO to the Council Meeting. We have 5 very good and loyal National Sponsors with whom Nomads has built a solid and long-term relationship with. • SAB – since 1960 • MOTUS, previously Imperial Auto - since 2013 • Europcar, previously Tempest - since 2012 • TaylorMade - since 2013 • Glenbrynth - since 2015 I personally want to thank all those involved over the past years and I am pleased to say that all are in for the long run. A big thank you especially to Glenbrynth who has signed up to 2029. At the same time, we have some value-added partners who never ask for any recognition but remind me when the renewal is due; they do not ask for any contribution, also a big thank you – • Rowlin National Brokers – Brenda Reeve • Campos Transport – Rui Campos • Colvic (equipment storage) – Vic Hall 2019 was an interesting year and I thank MFC and Konica Minolta, who ended their agreement with Nomads, for their valuable support. To seek for new sponsors is a difficult task during the down-market period, I can only call on all Nomads to support our sponsors as without them we will not have the opportunities and have the pleasure of being a Nomad and enjoy the game of golf. We have grown in the fact of media and with a solid relationship with Sunshine Tour “thank you Ronnie Kingwell” and also cemented a great opportunity with Golf RSA “thank you Ken Walker”. It is pleasing to know how much Nomads really mean in terms of value to Golf in South Africa overall. New Opportunities We are looking forward to a possible relationship and national sponsor’s agreement for the future – • Printer Opportunity • Wine sponsor to be added • Brandy sponsor to be added My time has come to hand over the reign to Andrew Bullen. The past 5 years as National PRO of this wonderful organization was something I will cherish for the rest of my life and the personal relationships I developed through the years with the National Sponsors is a friendship for life. A big thank you must go to Philip Mixchaux, Greame Wood, Derek Cuthbert, Brian and Brenda Nathan, Antonio Rosetti, Martyn Lyndall and many others. The support of the fellow Nomads was exceptional. To all the Captains, National Executive members, a big thank you and special mention must be made to Ken Walker, Simon Lee, Les Floyd, Vic Hall, Eric Fisher, Richard Plumb and Peter Chown for your support in this task that no other Nomad really understands. To Andrew Bullen, good luck, my support is available. I trust that you will get the support I had as National PRO, continue to make Nomad a better club. To Mark Lindstrom, National Co-ordinator, John Kayala – Captain and Border Club, may you have a wonderful week and a successful Nationals. Robbie Frank NOMADS GOLF CLUB OF SOUTH AFRICA NATIONAL PRO
