Jamberoo Golf Club is currently offering a weekly Veterans Competition on Mondays

JAMBEROO Golf Club has a vibrant veteran golf scene for men and women.

Affiliated veteran golfing visitors are welcome at all our regular and special events.

Financial members of the JGC are entitled to join the Jamberoo Veterans Golf Association (the age limits are 55 for men and 50 for ladies).

There is an annual membership of just $10.00 per annum with the majority of this money being paid to the NSW Veteran Golf Association for affiliation fees.

Regular Competitions

At Jamberoo the Veteran competitions (women competitors are also welcome) are held on most Mondays of the month, while the Women’s competition is held on the 1st Thursday of the month.

In addition to these competitions,

Trevor Bell Memorial Shield

Jamberoo also has a men’s representative team that competes annually for the inter-club Trevor Bell Memorial Shield.

Teams of eight players from each club in the Illawarra district play in this stableford competition with one round conducted at each of the clubs, with the best six scores counted towards the Shield.

The nomination form for entrants is usually posted on the Vets notice board about two to three weeks beforehand and everyone is welcome to participate. Lunch is normally provided by the host club and a sit down dinner is provided at the end of the season which includes the presentation.

Jamberoo won the shield in 2014 and 2018.

Jamberoo Veterans Club Championship

The Jamberoo Veterans Club Championship is held in May and to qualify players must have competed in at least three veterans competitions in the previous 12 months.

Barry Walker Shield

Each year a special trophy is awarded to the Jamberoo Vet who has the greatest total Stableford score over the year. The trophy is named in honour of Barry Walker, long time Veterans Committee member and champion fellow.
