With 60ml recorded yesterday and overnight, prospects of play are not good this week. Although the water is draining away quickly and the greens and fairways are clear of debris, the grounds are completely saturated.
The course remains closed.
A decision will be made Thursday about Sunday’s Jamberoo Mens Open but at this stage it is extremely unlikely to be held. Very sad news indeed.

It is with regret that I inform that the course will remain closed until at least Wednesday.
The East Coast rain system will not leave the area leaving the course saturated and in threat of flooding.
Inspections are taking place daily. There is extreme doubt about the major events planned for the weekend.
Decisions will be made concerning the weekend on Thursday.

The course will be closed this weekend.
The course has received over 100 ml of water last night and more this morning. The River broke its banks again at about 10 am but thankfully the water level has again receded 2 metres in the last hour.
A decision will be made after an inspection on Sunday concerning Monday.
The combined Mens and Junior Jamberoo Open is scheduled for play on Sunday October 30.
The booking sheet will be available on-line from Sunday or by ringing the golf club golf shop on 42 36 0404.
At this stage it will take place as scheduled with a decision made on Thursday should there be further heavy rainfall.
You are most probably aware that the Return and Earn Machine has been re-installed at the club.
Many members have requested if they could donate their refunds to the club. In a new initiative it is now possible to do this and donate to the club.
Vale John, gone but not forgotten. May your garden always be in bloom.
In honour of a good friend and servant of the club. Thank you to John’s daughters, Donna, Kylie and Jacqui and the Reverend Steve Stanis for blessing the club and the dedication of the garden to John. The garden will now be known as the Ellsmore Garden.
