Nomads Golf Club is non commercial organization travelling social club of golfers who have no fixed home club or location but are tied to a geographical territory from which they draw their membership. The purpose of Nomads is to: 1. Enjoy the camaraderie of like-minded people through the medium of golf; 2. Through the enjoyment of golf, to raise funds to assist those less fortunate than ourselves; 3. To raise funds in order to foster and encourage junior golf; and 4. To belong to an International golfing club and enjoy in the near future playing against overseas club mates.
Currently there are fourteen affiliated clubs spread over five countries with membership in the thousands. The organization has grown significantly from its South African roots in the 1960s to be internationally recognised and every year hosts one of the largest amateur golf tournaments in the world. The Annual Grand Nationals tournament regularly hosts over 500 Nomads internationally affiliated amateur golfers over 3 days at a pre chosen golf course in South Africa.
This support enables Nomads to raise and contribute significant sums of money to charitable organizations. In the year since formation, Nomads South Africa alone has donated over ZAR 22,528,851 (US$2,805,000 at 1 June 9), Nomads New Zealand has raised and donated more than NZ$300,000 and in Australia, Nomads to date has contributed approximately AUD$100,000 to charity. As a non profit organization the individual clubs and national bodies rely on sponsorship themselves. Corporate backing is received from blue chip companies such as Volvo, Bell’s Whiskey (Diageo) and Budget Rentals as well as smaller but numerous localized territory sponsors. In addition to Nomads charitable donations the Club has a significant history of junior golfer sponsorship. The South African PGA tour professional Tim Clark is a notable recipient of Nomads junior golfer support when he was in his teens. Currently Nomads Australia has two junior golfers it supports namely Jordan Zunic who as an Australian is ranked as an amateur by the Royal and Ancient, 838th in the world , and a second junior golfer, Ryan Smith. The sponsorship of these players is through the Jack Newton Junior Golf Foundation whom Nomads Australia has supported for five years . Patrons of Nomads include nine time Majors winner Gary Player and five times Majors winner Peter Thompson to whom they have annual competitions named after them.
Member’s of Nomads must be of high standing in their respective communities and must be willing to volunteer their time in order to raise money for charity or promote the Nomads name to further enable underprivileged junior golfers.
This 'Nomadic' style of play is suited to a broad golfing experience by playing many different types of courses over the membership year. Although there are many clubs claiming to be 'Nomads', a club looking for affiliation must first apply to the Nomads South Africa National Body in order to be recognised under the Nomads Golf Club worldwide umbrella. An affiliated club can be instantly recognised by a bell signifying Charity crossed with a golf club and the motto “Through golf helping others”

CEREBRAL PALSY CLINIC & OUTREACH The Clinic provides assessment and treatment to children with cerebral palsy e.g. physiotherapy, speech therapy, feeding therapy, occupational therapy, advice and intervention by a multidisciplinary team of specialist doctors, nurses, social workers and interpreters. On average between 250 and 350 children receive therapy each month. Skills development training and education, and group or individual counselling services are also extended to the mothers and carers of the children attending the clinic. Patients attending the clinic come from all over the Western Cape, mostly from the poorest of the previously disadvantaged communities. The clinic also runs an outreach programme delivering vital assessment, treatment, counselling and training services to various communities. The Outreach program currently operates in eight (8) areas along with one satellite clinic. Areas of operation include Khayelitsha, Mitchells Plain, Guguletu, Bonteheuwel, Cross Roads, Claremont and Milnerton and the satellite clinic in Kraaifontein serving the Wallace Dean, Scottsdene and Bloekombos informal settlement areas.
CHILDREN’S SPECIAL CARE CENTRE A secure and happy environment in which up to 38 cerebral palsy children and youths benefit from a continued developmental programme to ensure that the child / youth obtains optimal benefit. All the children are profoundly physically and intellectually disabled and experience severe barriers to learning. In addition to this a programme for parents with ongoing social work services, counselling and skills training is offered to ensure continued management in the home environment. The centre caters for children and youths up to age 21.
RESIDENTIAL HOME Rosedon House is a residential home for adults with varying degrees of cerebral palsy from various communities throughout the Western Cape. The aim of Rosedon House is to create a home for adults disabled by cerebral palsy who can no longer reside in their parental homes. The home offers independent supervised living with each resident having their own room. Residents are transported to doctors, social functions, sport association etc. Rosedon also has the added facility of accommodating several respite care cases from time to time when required. They also offer an occupational group five mornings per week for disabled adults from the community. Currently there are 54 adults residing at Rosedon House.
OCCUPATION CENTRES The occupation centres, Ulwazi (in Bellville) and Our Hope (at Rosedon House), offers stimulation and social interaction to severely disabled adults from the Northern and Southern suburbs who are unable to work even in a protected work environment due to the extent of their disabilities. The groups participate in fabric painting, ceramic painting, free art, music and a variety of other social activities and outings, providing an opportunity to get out of the house and to interact and socialise with others. We currently have a total of 35 adults attending two groups which operate five mornings per week.
THE VILLAGE WORK CENTRE 125 Disabled workers with varying degrees of mental and physical disabilities are collected from their homes in areas of the Northern Cape Flats as well as from Mitchell’s plain, Retreat, Grassy Park, Manenberg, Silvertown, Athlone and Lansdowne.
They are taken to the centre which provides meaningful work opportunities for adults with cerebral palsy who are unable to function in the open labour market, but are capable of performing supervised routine tasks and be trained to enhance their skills level. These tasks include woodwork, mechanical repairs to wheelchairs, sewing, assembling of contract goods and packaging. The workers are generally people who have completed their schooling in special schools or training centres established under the auspices of the Western Cape Cerebral Palsy Association. The centre provides training where necessary and appropriate in order to establish independence with dignity and self-esteem.
SOCIAL WORK SERVICES Services are provided on an ongoing basis to all disabled clients at all centres (schools & training centres included when required) and their families. The Association employs two full time Social Workers who are experienced in the field of disability. A substantial part of their function entails home visits to the families in the community to provide ongoing support and counselling in their own homes.
HOME BASED CARE CENTRES IN THE TOWNSHIPS There are 3 home based total care homes for severely cerebral palsy children, rendering 24 hour service. These homes are financed through the Care Dependency Grant from the Government, as well as donations from the public.
