What is Golforama? It’s Nomads all over South Africa giving their time to assist with the running of professional golf tournaments. Way back in 1963, CNA purchased the patent rights to the name “Golforama”, which described the scoring system used by Nomads that was to be used at professional and amateur golf tournaments. Whereas the original systems have modernised over time, the name is still used and respected for what it represents. Live scoring is at the heart of every men’s and ladies Sunhine Tour event and the accuracy of it serves to enrich the viewing experience of the many golf fans across the globe. It also enables the Tour’s online scoring services to remain current and a source of instant information to those who access them.
The value the Tour is able to deliver in staging world-class golf events is in some part attributed to the involvement of Nomads, which in turn enables the Sushine Tour to stage a wider variety of professional events (sometimes co-sanctioned by the DP World Tour) that are used by South African professionals, both up-and-coming and already established. All funds earned through the provision of Golforama services are ploughed directly back into the furtherance of the game though the Nomads Furtherance of Golf initiatives and numerous partnerships across South Africa, helping golfers of all ages, gender, ability and backgrounds, to have the opportunity to play this great game and learn from the life-lessons it gives you.
Nomads members countrywide volunteer their services at tournaments hosted in their own areas, with collective teams of members being present at the flagship events such as the Nedbank Challenge, the mens and ladies South African Opens, to name but a few. We may be far from the limelight, but our dedicated band of members is known throughout the golfing world for their selfless professionalism, all in the name of the furtherance of golf.
