As outing organizer of the Nomads Golf Group, I would like to welcome all of the members to this golf association. While coming up with the idea of starting this group, Tom Boyce and I thought of some way golfers like ourselves could arrange playing golf more frequently, and weather permitting, play year round. Hopefully we will arrange the outings so that our wish to golf, and promote our members interest in a fraternity and bond our mutual interest to the game of golf.

Quote of the Month "I’m going to a special place when I die, but I want to make sure my life is special while I’m here."

Boy do we have a tournament for you. The 8th Annual Solstice Survival run by Washington Golf monthly is the outing to play if you enjoy playing more than 18 holes a day. Stamina is the key word here. Fifty-four holes in one day! You read right! 54 HOLES. This year’s outings will be played on six different days at five different courses. All of the courses having either 4-star or 5-star ratings by Golf Digest. With a price tag set at $235.00 per golfer and a $25.00 donation to the Special Olympics any one can play in this event. The cost includes breakfast, lunch, dinner, and beverages during your rounds of golf and tournament favors.

The best thing about this tournament isn’t playing all of those holes. It’s the courses they play them on. Below are the dates and venues the Solstice Survival will be contested this year. Hopefully we can get four of our members interested in competing. If any one is interested in playing in this outing. Please let our club organizer know, and he will give you all of the phone numbers and addresses you’ll need to get you to the first tee. These outings fill up fast, so if you’re interested in playing, call or contact Terry Heller. Reservations are a first come, first entered basis. With sign up period starting on December 13,2000.

To reserve a spot in any of the club outings listed above. Contact the outing organizer.

Let him know which outing you are would like to attend and how many guests (if any) you will be bringing. All reservations must be made no later than 10 days prior the outing. Tee times will be made 1 week prior to the outing date. There will be no additional tee times available once the tee times are filled. Three- (3) days prior to outing, a full green fee payment will be due to confirming your reservation. If payment is not received 48 hours prior to tee times. Your tee times will be canceled. All golf courses require a credit card to reserve tee times and if we bring fewer golfers than reserved, the credit card would be charged. This is the reason we have to receive the full payment for all tee times. In case of inclement weather, golf courses will not charge credit card, and we will be able to cancel inside of 24 hours and receive a full refund. Once we have money from dues to open a checking account and get a cash card with the account, this procedure may be changed.

Joke of the Month- A man comes home from a day of golfing. His wife asks," How did you play today?" The man replies," I think I’m going to quit. I only hit two solid balls all day long. And that's when I was in a sand trap and stepped on a rake!"
