CURRENT CLUB
CAPTAIN: ROBBIE FRANK
BRIEF HISTORY:
The emphasis of the Nomads Golf Club is to encourage
Members to play as many of the monthly meetings as possible. This has the resultant effect of restricting the overall Membership of
any Club to about 200 Members. To accommodate as many players as possible the
Transvaal Club devised a policy of playing some of its games mid-week (Thursday)
and the remainder of their games over a weekend.
Due to either family or business pressures, some of the Members could not play
at one or the other time and this enabled the Club to swell its Membership for
some while. However even this failed to reduce the continued pressure to
increase the Membership level of the Transvaal Club.
As a result it was decided in 1966 that a Northern Transvaal Club would be
formed with a group of Founder Members mainly originating from that contingent
of Transvaal Nomads whose residential qualifications placed them more in the
Pretoria than the Johannesburg area.
Several years later, in 1978, a similar situation resulted in the formation of
the Eastern Transvaal Nomads Golf Club for whom the residential qualification
tended more towards the East Rand area.
