*Nomads Zambia Nationals - 2 Weeks To Go* 😂⛳

2 Weeks Until We Pretend We’re Professionals.
Official countdown: *14 days* until the 5th Eagle Nationals at Bonanza Golf Course and we’re officially past the point of "I’ll start practicing next week."

*Current team status report:*
1. *Handicaps*: Still fictional, but very optimistic
2. *New clubs*: Purchased. Swings: still the same. Its never the clubs its you.
3. *Stella Artois budget*: Already approved by the spouse. Don’t worry it’s subsidized.😂
4. *Fimbu levels*: Charged and ready for that last-hole push 🔥

Rules for the next 2 weeks:
- No more 3am range sessions. Your back won’t forgive you.
- Start stretching. Or at least start blaming the course.
- Practice your “tough break” face. You’ll need it.
- Carry warm clothing. It’s Zambian winter but can be summer, for Capetonians.

Remember: We’re not here to win… we’re here to make it to the Cowboy Bar with stories, injuries, and a proper chalice in hand.

*See you on the tee. May your drives be straight and your excuses be creative.*
