WILLIAM LOMBARD - 100 GAMES
William Lombard is the 19th Nomads Sydney North Club member to achieve the 100-game milestone, William (left), is congratulated by Captain Ryan van der Walt at Riverside Oaks Golf Resort on 14 December 2025.
William played the odd game of golf when growing up in Greenside Johannesburg. Living close to Parkview golf course he remembers playing more in the sloots that ran through the course rather than on the course itself.
He recalls the sloots being the provider of an endless supply of lost balls that he then sold back to golfers so that him and his mates could ride their bikes to the “Milky Bar” to play Pinball, Donkey Kong, Pac-man and Asteroids.
Living in Fish Hoek, Cape Town prior to moving to Australia in 2008, he only played the occasional game.
Being introduced to Nomads by his brother-in-law Dave Twycross in 2015, William has attended 7 Australian National tournaments and 1 Zimbabwe National tournament in May 2024.
William was Captain of Nomads Sydney North over the crazy years of COVID 2020/2021 and served on the committee for a few years prior to that and 1 year post being Captain.
He has managed to evade the crying towel in his 100 games thus far and is still searching for that elusive Albatross or hole-in-one.
William was inducted in November 2015 at Mona Vale and since then his stats are as follows:
