Nomads,

We have a change of venue for March's game.

Bayview have made a very poor error of judgement and have double booked their course with us and a Pennant game. We unfortunately lose out and instead have been lucky enough to get on at St Michaels on the same day at the same price.

If you have booked to play Bayview and are not happy with the change of venue please email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . The JVC and Captain have been calling all registered players to inform them of the change of venue and an email will be sent out soon.

In the meantime we have closed registration as we have over 60 players. We expect a few people to drop out and will open registration should that happen to a significant extent.

If you like me are as unimpressed with the unapologetic and unprofessional behaviour towards Nomads by Bayview Golf Club then fill out the form on their website at http://www.bayviewgolfclub.com/contents/1754-contact  to notify them of your displeasure or better still, if you have a Twitter or Facebook account post an update of your opinion.

Members,

We had our February game at Camden Lakeside where I am especially happy to announce that we had the single biggest field ever for a monthly game of 56 players + visitors.

The club now has a very active membership who want to play regularly, this results in our field normally of 48 spots filling up very quickly so if you do want to play you need to get in and register within days of registration opening.

This month, when you try to register you will be taken to a survey of 12 questions which you will have to answer before you can get to the registration page. We are looking to get some feedback in order to gauge how you feel the club is being run. Once we have all the data assembled we will publish the results.

Finally, we are looking for members to submit articles or content for the website and Scorecard newslette. If you have something good to submit email it to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Thanks

ChrisF

P.S. Monthly results and fines will be posted within the week.

The National Tournament played at Noosa Springs resort was a great success. There was a field of 92 players and by the comments and feedback everyone had a wonderful weekend.

Wayne Richardson and his team can be very proud of the first Aussie National Tournament and the weeks of planning and organizing were well rewarded by the enthusiasm, laughter and great camaraderie that were in abundance.

The next National Tournament is to be hosted by Syney North and planning is well under way and no doubt all who attend can look forward to another memorable weekend. There was already talk from some of our international visitors of them returning next year.

For those who did not participate this year, you will hear a lot of comment about Noosa and no doubt next year will see many players returning and a lot of new faces wanting to experience the Nomads spirit of a National Tournament.

There has been considerable interest shown by Australian Nomads to participate in the South African Nationals in Pretoria in April 2010.
