I hope that each and every one of you had a joyful Christmas and a great start to 2012.
It seems as if it was only the other day when I accepted the privilege of being you Captain for 2012. You have my personal assurance that I will do my best to uphold the pride and values that our special club has built up over nearly 49 years.
Again I reinforce my commitment to trying to help you when you are concerned so please don’t hesitate to call or e-mail me and I will do my best to resolve your concern.
To the divisional winners at Durban Country Club on the 9th December 2011, being A Division Murray Raw (a waiting list member) on 38 points, B Division Alan Michell 38 points and C Division Cliff Cartmell 37 points, my hearty congratulations. James Buzzard, a full member, runner up in the A Division on 37 points will go forward into the Gold Cup for 2012.
The Gold Cup day is the culmination of those who played consistent golf over the 12 monthly games.
It is very special to win the Gold Cup and I salute the winners.
Champion of Champions – Fred Stopforth on 35 points oco.
Gold Cup Divisional winners:-
A Division – Garth Enslin on 34.5 points
B Division – John Cole on 34.5 points
C Division – Dave Martin on 34.6 points.
What was very disappointing was that there were winners of Gold Cup competitions that were not present at prize giving which is always embarrassing for the Captain. This is one day of the year when each Nomad should make a very special effort to attend Prize Giving, prize winner or not, as that is when we say farewell to our outgoing Captain and all the “back room” helpers.
If I had one goal that I really wanted to achieve in 2012 it would be to dramatically improve the attendance at all prize giving’s. Please help me to achieve this goal.
I look forward to seeing you all at Bluff on the 19th January 2011 and a packed house for prize giving.
