Jordan Zunic wins Fangshan Changyang China Amateur Golf Championship

We received this email from Jordan Zunic:
Hi Mark & Kit Hope you are both well. I hope the Nationals tournament was a success for you! I just thought I would let you know that my trip to China the other week was a great success. I played in the Fangshan Changyang China Amateur Golf Championship in Beijing and ended up winning the tournament with a birdie on the second playoff hole!! It was a bit of a role coaster week as I started the tournament with an 81 in some very windy conditions!! But I then shot a 73 and a 71 to be 5 shots behind going into the last round. Then on Sunday I shot a 4 under 68 (which was tied the lowest score of the tournament) to get into a playoff!! I am extremely happy with the result as it is my first international tournament win!! I have the following tournaments coming up in the next couple of weeks: - November 7-9: Federal Amateur Open at Federal GC in Canberra - November 13-16: NSW Open at Stonecutters Ridge I have attached a photo for you guys to have a look at. I just want to thank you and all the Nomads again for your continued support. I could not have achieved this without your help!! I hope to catch up with you soon. Kind Regards Jordan Zunic |
WELL DONE, JORDAN, FANTASTIC EFFORT

Our secondary aim of Nomads is to promote junior golf development and in 2006 we formed an association with Jack Newton Junior Golf (JNJG).
Since then JNJG have been involved with our Charity Golf Day and continue to support us in raising funds for the less fortunate. In 2009, under Captain Chris Fichardt, the first of the Nomads Scholarships to Jack Newton Junior Golf was announced. On Sunday 27th April 2014, CEO Peter van Wegen was on hand to receive a cheque for $4,000 to assist two up-and-coming young golfers, Blake Windred and Mitch Gannon. |

2014 ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION DUE
Our new Treasurer, Andrew Brown, has sent out the 2014 subscription notices. The annual subs remain unchanged at $150 and there is an early bird discount of $20 should you pay by 31 January 2014.
Your Committee decided at their last meeting in November that we would not include the amount levied by Warringah for the AGU handicap as our non-golf club members are paid up to 31 August 2014. It will now be incumbent on members to pay the Warringah Golf Club invoice when it arrives sometime in August. The subs revert to $150 from 1 February 2014 and these have to be paid by 31 March 2014. |
2013 Nomads / Allan Gray Charity Golf Day a raging success!
|
Mark Howard-Browne and his 2013 Charity Golf Day Committee are to be congratulated on their magnificent effort in raising $54,105 at Long Reef Golf Club on 26th November 2013.
132 participants enjoyed good weather, albeit windy, and the winning fourball was Dave Twycross, Jack Newton, Stephen Rix and Blake Windred. Lauren McAlister of Cancer Council NSW was on hand to accept a cheque of $44K from Mark Howard-Browne and a further $10K was presented to Jack Newton for the furtherance of junior golf development. This year’s event raised funds for Cancer Council NSW osteosarcoma research. This is the most common form of bone cancer which usually affects young children. The researchers from the Bone Research Program at the ANZ Research Institute are working to understand why Vitamin D helps to prevent bone cancers from growing and the money we raised will be directed into this grant and it will make a difference in raising awareness and growing our understanding of this rare cancer. This was a join effort between the Nomads Sydney North and Nomads Sydney Souths club and we convey our heartfelt thanks to the fantastic sponsors and participants. |
