NATIONAL

CHAIRMAN’S

WELCOME

It is my honour and a great privilege to welcome you all to the
65th South African Nomads National Tournament, the Jubilee
Nationals!
It is an absolute honour to have you all join us at the
picturesque Hermanus Golf Club for this prestigious event.
As we gather here, we celebrate not only the spirit of
competition but also the unity and camaraderie that the
Nomads Club brings to our lives.

This year, the Jubilee Nationals is extra special. We have the pleasure of hosting 12 South African clubs
along with numerous international clubs, making this a truly global gathering. The diversity of participants
underscores the universal appeal of our beloved Nomads community and the strong bonds we share across
different regions and cultures. Your presence here adds to the rich tapestry of experiences and friendships
that make this tournament so unique.

We are particularly excited to introduce a new, innovative format to the Nationals this year. For the first time,
the tournament will be held over a shortened span of just four days. This change is designed to infuse fresh
energy and pace into the competition, ensuring a dynamic and thrilling experience for all involved. We are
eager to see how this new structure plays out and believe it will add a compelling new dimension to the
event.

Over the next few days, we hope you will take the opportunity to enjoy the stunning beauty of Hermanus,
known for its breathtaking landscapes and welcoming community. Whether you are aiming for personal
bests or simply enjoying the serene environment, we trust that this tournament will be a memorable
experience for each and every one of you.
As you come together, may your drives be long and accurate, your putts precise, and your spirits high.
Embrace the challenges, celebrate the victories, and most importantly, cherish the camaraderie and
sportsmanship that define the Nomads spirit.

Here’s to an unforgettable Jubilee Nationals! Let the games begin, and may the best Nomads prevail.

Warmest regards,

PETER RUNKEL
