Jamberoo Members Excel in Open Events.

Marie Smith was one of only 3 women who had a birdie on the day.  

Thanks to Allyson Fisher and her Team for a well run event.

Vets Members News.

Vets membership.

The new Vets season commences on the 1st of October and all vets members will need to pay their $10 joining fee before that date to be allowed to participate in vets events.

This year a Vets sticker will be attached to your 2024-25 Yellow Jamberoo Membership Card (or if you are a Jamberoo vet from another club, to your home club’s membership card).

This Monday 16th September and Tuesday 17th of September, Rod Hodkinson will be accepting memberships and attaching the new vets sticker to your card. Please have your $10 fee and your Membership card ready.

If for some reason you have failed to pick up your Jamberoo card then we probably have it ready for you at the golf shop.

September Shotgun Start Day.

You are reminded that the Vets day on Monday the 30th of September is a shotgun start playing 2BBB stableford event with a BBQ and presentation at the conclusion.

Meet at the club at 7 am for the 7.30 shotgun start.

The cost of the day will be $18 which will include your sausage sandwiches.

When booking just put down your names in any spot ignoring the booking sheet times as a shotgun start draw will be made Sunday with starting hole allocations.

After the golf the Winter and Spring Vet Medals will be presented to Geoff Reid and Gary Brickell respectively. I believe a wine raffle will also be contested.

Lost and Found.

A request has been made to members asking if they found a “Sharks” head cover which went missing Monday. It holds great sentimental value to the owner and if it was found then its owner would be very appreciative.

If you found it please return it to the Golf shop.

Thank you.

Seaside and Valley Veterans Week of Golf

The annual Seaside and Valley Veterans tournament will be held between 25 and 29 November 2024 with Monday and Friday at Jamberoo and Tuesday and Thursday at Kiama. 

Entries are now open on the NSWVGA website. Kiama Golf Club is handling all entries and their preference is to use the ‘Mi Tournament’ system which can be accessed from the NSWVGA website by clicking on “Online Entry” when in the 2024 Program and the Seaside and Valley entry, which is the last for the year.

There are a number of flyers with terms and conditions available in the Golf Shop and Bar as well as on the NSWVGA website. There are also a number of manual entry forms as well if you do not wish to use the on line system.

Monday, Tuesday and Thursday are single stableford events with a 36 hole aggregate event for the NSWVGA Shield over Monday and Tuesday and a 54 hole event over the three days.

Friday is a 4 ball Stableford event at Jamberoo with a shotgun start which is being  sponsored by Drummond Golf Shellharbour.

All players in the tournament must be affiliated members of NSWVGA which is automatic if you are a member of Jamberoo Veteran Golfers.

It is timely to remind Jamberoo Vets that membership renewals are now due as the Vets financial year ends on 30th September. You can renew your membership at the Golf Shop for $10 from September 18.

The Woes of a Jamberoo Golfer.

I thought you might be interested in the trials and tribulations of an average JGC B-grader.

Last week, for the first time in about 4 years I put my second shot onto the 8th green. ‘Drive and Pitch’ winner came immediately to mind, until my playing partner told me that the D&P hole had been moved to the 2nd (where, of course, my second shot had landed in the dam). Just to compound my misfortune, today I won (finally!) the ‘Supershot’ on the 13th, only to be informed (by the same playing partner) that it was now a mere NTP, so instead of a decent handful of $$$s, I won a measly 2 golf balls! My woes at JGC continue.

Here a shot of where my drive landed today in a tree stump to the right of the 6th fairway, just to add to my woes)
