         Our contribution to the Furtherance of Golf

Nomads throughout the individual Clubs around the country support their hosts, the local golf clubs who generously allow us the use of their courses throughout the year, by donating funds for use in smaller Club projects such as building bridges over water courses, planting trees in prominent places, providing benches etc. through funding the teaching of junior golfers and sponsoring their participation in Tournaments both locally and, in some cases overseas, to financial support at times of major disaster such as flooding etc. For these larger expenditures the money generally arises from the voluntary service Nomads provide through their GOLFORAMA services at all major golf tournaments throughout the country.
These GOLFORAMA funds also help promote countrywide the Junior Golf development programme.

For 20 years Nomads have been purchasing tickets in another major Fund-Raising event which enables the holder of the winning ticket to travel to one of the golf's major events - The Open being the most regularly supported event. Currently, this event is sponsored through one of our National Sponsors Bell's "EXTRA SPECIAL" Old Scotch Whisky.

Such has the appeal of a trip to a major Tournament been to Nomads over the period that, thanks to the generosity of such whisky sponsors as BALLANTINES, TEALS and BELL'S "EXTRA SPECIAL" OLD SCOTCH WHISKY, over R 5.5 million has been collected for the furtherance of golf as indicated below.
