category of membership held by him at his former Club, provided he has

The transferee, irrespective of the category of membership accorded to him,

become and remain a Member of a recognised Golf Club within the area of his
new Nomads Club, such Golf Club to be affiliated to a Golf Union recognised by

transferee shall further be handicapped by that Golf Club.
Should a Transferee Member not have maintained a playing commitment as
required by paragraph 7.10.4, or should a transferee (irrespective of his
category of membership) not have complied with paragraph 7.10.5, then he
shall be deemed to be a Member not in good standing.
Any Member of any of our Nomads Golf Clubs, up to and including Honorary
Members, transferring to any other of our Nomads Golf Clubs, locally or
internationally, shall be accepted by that Club in the category as held by him in
his former Club.

to be in good standing if he has met or is in a position to meet his playing obligations, where

a special tie representing their period as a Member as authorised by the National Council.
Each Member Club shall recognise a special tie and/or blazer pocket badge for any special
