The 400 Club

It is a requirement of Nomads Membership that a Nomad commits himself to play a minimum of 6 Monthly Meetings per year. To some that may seem onerous but to others anything less than the full quota of 12 Monthly Meetings per year is a minor tragedy in their lives.

We have Nomads who have played over 450 games consecutively since becoming a Member of an already established Club; we also have Members who have played every Monthly Meeting since becoming Founder Members of their respective Clubs; we also have Members who have played every monthly meetings since becoming Members and we even have one member who has played over 550 games during his Nomadic career.

Consider then the magnitude of the achievement of becoming a Member of the illustrious 400 Club where, to join, the qualification is having teed up at 400 Monthly Meetings. Taking into consideration that one may only obtain one game credit per month towards the total this means having played the minimum equivalent of one Nomads game per month for over 33 years.
No allowance is made for all those other multitude of games played in Gary Player Knockout Competitions, Away Tours, Club Anniversaries, National Tournaments in South Africa, Zimbabwe, Botswana etc.

Our sincere congratulations go to the following stalwart Nomads who have contributed to the success of our organisation over the years and for whom the game of golf has brought pleasure, camaraderie and life-long friendships:-
