After an inspection this morning the greenkeeper considers that the course needs to remain closed all of this week. Good, windy drying weather would help.

A further inspection will be undertaken on Friday. Lets hope that we can re-open the course for the weekend.

Jamberoo Golf Club is very fortunate to have excellent sponsors who really contribute to the club.

One such sponsor is DP Electric Australia.

A leading supplier of specialised electrical parts and experienced electrical contractors they are always prepared to assist JGC in any way. They not only are sponsoring the 15th hole, but have kindly donated new scorecards for use at the club.

The coloured cards are of better quality and won’t tear like our old style cards.

Thank you for your support, DP Electric Australia.

The water has receded from the the course I am pleased to report. Unfortunately the staff are unable to get machinery out on the course to prepare the course and to make necessary clean up and repairs following the flood.

Sadly this means that there will be no competitions this weekend or Monday morning at which time a further inspection will be undertaken.

We have experienced a good drying day today with sunshine and wind, so lets hope this continues over the weekend and we can get back on the course sooner rather than later.

The word today is that the flooding is worse than previous and the course will be closed for at least all of this week including the weekend.

Further inspections will be undertaken when the rain ceases.

D Ransom

Captain

Its back and the starter has called off play at the course for the weekend. Travel to the course from the east is hampered and water has come onto the course from Hyams Ck.

Competition play for Monday and next week is extremely doubtful under the present conditions.

Inspections will be held Monday morning and decisions about playability, or lack thereof, will be decided upon then.

Judging by what I have seen today, it is unlikely that play will be likely until at least later in the week. Certainly the use of motorised carts will be restricted.

Kingsford Nine

We were able to complete a week of Kingsford Nine rounds during the week and the results were sent off to Golflink where they appear as an “unattached nine-hole score” in your records. When you complete another nine holes then Golflink will combine them to make a full 18 and use them to handicap.

It will also automatically give you an entry in the ‘Play9’ draw for tickets to the Australian Open.

Jeff O’Brien was this week’s winner with 16 points.

The interesting thing that I noticed about handicaps is that, as the front-nine holes has its own official slope rating, it carries its own allocation of shots and you might not get shots you get on the full 18 hole course.

Views of the Course

I refuse to show ‘wet-course’ photos.

Here are some for us to enjoy of finer times.
