Nomads Golf Society 2025

An earlier in the year visit than usual to the tree-lined fairways of the championship Old Course, host of many previous European Tour events and graced by some of the world’s top players including Ian Woosnam, Seve Ballesteros and Bernhard Langer; all previous winners here.

None of those names however have  managed to emulate the feat of Phil Robbins who has retained the Nomads St. Pierre Trophy, a framed print of the famous 18th hole. Phil’s score of 37 points saw him beat Adie Shilston on count-back with Tony Burris in 3rd place.

The other competitions saw Guy Greening take the nearest the pin, Michael Griffiths the longest drive and Phil also won the par 3 prize. Divisional competitions were won by Derek Freeman-Jones (1), Mark Willicott (2), Ged Wrench (3) and Guy Greening (4).

Stand-in skipper, vice-captain Jon Ager done the honours for the presentation and the day was rounded off with a meal of sausage and mash and a raffle for a prize of a four-ball on the Old Course, kindly presented by the club which was won by Tony Griffiths. There was a special presentation of red Nomads caps to Ged, Mark and Darren Williams on reaching 50 appearances for the society, and as always, a warm welcome to our newest member Ian King, hope you enjoyed the day.
