MEMBERS CHARITY DAY RAFFLE

MARK HOWARD-BROWNE - 150 GAMES

Picture
Congratulations to Mark Howard-Browne who is the 4th Nomads Sydney North member to play 150 games.

Here he was presented his 150-game badge by Captain Curt Wilson at Riverside Oaks on 17th December 2023.
Mark started playing golf in the 1990’s and was a member at Umhlali Golf Club in Ballito. He was inducted into Nomads Sydney North in April 2008 with Des Boucher.
 
He has attended 13 Australian National tournaments missing only the 1st due to a frozen shoulder. Mark has also attended 8 South African Nomads National tournaments.
 
Mark has served on our Committee from 2008 - just 2 months after being inducted and has predominantly controlled the "purse strings" as well as being the Membership Officer. He is still a part of the Charity Day Committee having joined it when Derrick Jones ran the Charity Day in 2008. He served as our Captain in 2014.
 
He is currently the Nomads Golf Australia Treasurer (started this role in 2014) and he was the Australian National President in 2018 and 2019.
 
In 2012, he was the Tournament Coordinator for the 4th Nationals at Magenta Shores, NSW Central Coast and has been prominently involved in the other 3 tournaments hosted by Norths at The Vintage in 2010, Cypress Lakes in 2014 and again at Magenta Shores in 2019.
 
In the 15 years from April 2008 since detailed stats were kept, his:
 
           - Average score is 29.76
            - Highest score – 39 points at Camden Lakeside in Nov 12 and Lynwood in Nov 15
            - Lowest score - 21 points at Mona Vale in Jan 16 and has never got a Crying Towel
            - Starting handicap at Nomads was 20
            - Average handicap 20.65
            - Lowest handicap 16 (Dec 15) where he lost in the Knock-Out final to Jo Landsberg
            - Highest handicap 24 (Aug 16)

At Wakehurst Golf Club, Damon Cornish, scored his 2nd 40 pointer to go with his first at Riverside Oaks almost 4 years ago.

He scored an impressive 40 points off a handicap of 14 and will be back in the A Division for the Gold Cup match next month.

​The decision to take a cart really paid off Damo!

​Wakehurst has now only 2 40 pointers.

Riordan Coote - 2nd hole-in-one

Picture
Congratulations to Riordan Coote who is the 2nd golfer at a Nomads Sydney North monthly games score a hole-in-one.

He achieved his "ace" on the 11th hole at Riverside Oaks on Sunday 25th June 2023.

Riordan was playing his second game as a visitor and after that feat, we are sure that he has sufficient motivation to join Nomads.
 
He was little worried when he heard that there was a free round of drinks, expecting to pay. The Club paid, so no damage to his wallet.

MICHAEL HODGE - 100 GAMES

Picture
Michael Hodge (left) played his 100th game at Wakehurst on Sunday 19th March 2023.
 
Michael never played golf as a child and only learnt to play golf as an adult, which is evident in his unconventional swing and persistent high handicap. (Those were his words)
 
When joining Nomad's, which was on the suggestion of a friend who had heard them in passing, he asked if being South African was compulsory.
 
Here is some interesting info on Michael:
  • His 1st game was in May 2013 at Riverside Oaks where he scored 32 points off a handicap of 23
  • He was inducted in August 2013 at Long Reef - his proposer was Johan Landsberg
  • He was elected as JVC in 2016 and was our Club captain in 2018
  • As VC in 2017 he supported the Cancer Council NSW and raised $35,500 at his Charity Day
  • He has attended 7 Australian National tournaments
  • In his 9 1/2 years of membership:
       - Average score is 29.88
       - Highest score – 39 points at Long Reef in Mar 2014
       - Lowest score - 21 points at Riverside Oaks in Apr 2014
       - Starting handicap at Nomads was 23
       - Average handicap 21.88
       - Lowest handicap 18 (Apr 2014)
       - Highest handicap 24 (Nov 2018)
 
Well done, Michael, your swing may be unconventional, but your commitment to Nomads Sydney North is regular, sweet and smooth!
