as good as I have ever played on at Kloof and were running quick and true. Looking at
the scores I think a number of Nomads found them a email:
little tricky!

I had the pleasure of playing with the Captain of Kloof, Garry Ecob, along with my guest
Ryan Tulley and Keith Ford. We all struggled somewhat, and limped in with a total of 95
points for our four-ball. Gary and I managed to take some money off Ryan and Keith, but
I dare say it was by default rather than by any talented golf!
We had the following Special Presentations – 15 year tie to Dave Scott and a 200 Game
Badge to Allan van der Veen, well done gents. I will hand over Peter Avellini’s 20 Year
Tie at our next game.
I am glad to see Natal Nomads getting a steady stream of new members too – I had the
pleasure of inducting two new members this month in Alex Crockart and Brian Giddey.
Alex is an Attorney with Calitz Crockart & Associates inc and was proposed by Chad
Walters. He plays out of Cotswold Downs off a handicap of 8.4. Brian is in transport and
warehousing with RB Associated Logistics (Pty) Ltd and was proposed by Trevor Larkan.
He is a member of Tanglewood and plays off a handicap of 21.5 – welcome both of you
to Natal Nomads!
We also had two visitors in John Ridl (Southern Natal) and Ian West (Botswana).
Unfortunately we were not able to get over 100 players in the field again this month, which
is a concern particularly at Kloof which is one of our most popular monthly games. I said it
last month and will say it again - I would encourage every one of you to be pro-active in
inviting more guests to play in the monthly games in the hope that they will join Natal
Nomads and we can get back to the days of averaging over 100 players.
