Handicaps are reviewed after each separate game and operate off a base score of 30 points Whilst at no time do our modified Rules supersede those of any of the regulatory bodies in force we have instituted a format which is applicable to all of the various games and competitions in which we participate throughout the year. To quote our Founder, Mike Florance, the Nomads format gives the Members ".... a closely planned and integrated game of golf, with all games inter-related and offering a continuing thread of interest...." The Rules currently prescribed have been compiled and formatted over the
years from the contributions and attention to detail of the many dedicated
Nomads whose love of the game has honed the competitive side of the
above-mentioned "...inter-related, continuing thread of interest.."
to a degree of enjoyment which borders, in several cases, on the fiendish. The applicability of the following Rules to our Club is based
on detailed study and the experience gained over many years of the results
produced from literally hundreds of thousands of rounds played by Nomads Members
of decidedly differing degrees of golfing competence. LIST OF CONTENTS Unless the context should otherwise indicate, the male gender shall include the female and vice versa.
