CHAPTER 2 - SECTION 8

The NATIONAL TOURNAMENT is the highlight of the Nomads playing calendar. It is also one of the largest golf events in amateur golf. It is organised by a group of enthusiastic amateurs who take approximately 2 years to put the event and all its peripheral activities together.
It is therefore hardly surprising that this Section in itself comprises the largest Section in the Refwork, covering some 46 separate topics many of which split down into smaller items as well.
