DES BOUCHER - 7th MEMBER TO REACH 100 GAMES
Des (left) is now the 7th Nomads Sydney North Club member to achieve the 100 game milestone. He did that at Wakehurst Golf Club on 26th August 2018 where he was congratulated by Captain Michael Hodge.
He started playing golf regularly only in the early 1990's on sand courses of Botswana. Des was inducted in April 2008 with Mark Howard-Browne at Twin Creeks.
Des has attended 7 Australian National tournaments and won the C Division at the 1st tournament at Noosa in 2009. At the 2012 tournament at The Vintage he won the longest drive playing with Jordan Zunic (although Mark Howard-Browne believes his ball struck the path and rolled all the way down).
He has attended 2 South African Nomads National tournaments - at The Stand, Western Cape and Port Shepstone, kwaZulu Natal.
Des served on the Committee for 4 years in the role of Secretary and Membership Officer.
In the 10 years from Jan 2008 since detailed stats were kept, his:
- Average score is 29.70
- Highest score – 39 points at Bayview in Sep 08
- Lowest score - 22 points at Long Reef in Jul 11
- Starting handicap at Nomads 17
- Average handicap 18.23
- Lowest handicap 13 (Jan 16)
- Highest handicap 21(Jun 09)
That's a great effort Des, well done!
