Great Opportunity to Assist the Club

A great opportunity for members to help at the club.

Do you have a spare morning or afternoon? We currently have vacancies in the club for members who wish to help the club by becoming starters.

It is a great way of meeting members and seeing how the club operates. The work doesn’t require excessive skills and all training will be given on how to operate bookings, eftpos and membership enquiries.

Volunteers receive out of pocket expenses per shift.

If you are interested come along and join our team. Contact Peter Young or any of our other dedicated starters or ring the Office.

It is a great way to help your club.

Welcome to Solar Blu

Jamberoo Golf Club would like to welcome a new sponsor, SolarBlu Dapto, who have sponsored 2 holes.

SolarBlu our very own local Discount Solar and Battery installation company established in 2010; and with an office and showroom at 1/20 Marshall St Dapto, has sponsored both, the Windmill, (8th) and Bella Vista (14th).

Phil Symonds, the owner of SolarBlu, has recently become a Jamberoo resident, (non golfer), and has succumbed to pressure, from his Salesman Peter J Allen (new member, joined just last year) to sponsor these holes.

SolarBlu have been in the Solar industry for 13 years; primarily serving the Illawarra and surrounds and are unsurpassed in knowledge and experience in their field of Solar Power and storage.

They employ 2 full time fully licensed and CEC (Clean Energy Council) accredited, installation teams – not sub contractors, but actual uniformed employees of SolarBlu.

Often called upon to fix up problems from installation companies from outside the area, who, have either gone belly up or just plain refuse to uphold their responsibilities to warranty and customer Service; Whilst SolarBlu themselves have not had a panel failure or warranty claim.

You may well have come across Peter on the course with his admirable Golf Link handicap of 43.2!

You can call him 0468 955 728, to set up a game, or to set up solar and/or battery system.

Welcome SolarBlu and thank you for your support

All 18 holes will be open for play.

Play from the white tees.

Local Rules

• 30cm preferred lies are available on fairways only. A free drop is available from any ‘brown’ or bare area in the general area of the course.
• On the 12th if your tee shot ends in the muddy patch in the middle of the fairway you can take a free drop using unusual course condition (casual water) provisions.
• On the 16th you will notice that the collapsed bank has been blocked from entry. This area is to be treated as a no play zone. If your ball enters that area, then it is in the penalty area and a compulsory penalty drop must be taken from the drop zone which can be found near the palm trees, short and right of the lake.

For safety reasons, you are not permitted to enter the cordoned off section at all, even if your ball is visible. If you do so, then you are automatically disqualified. Please stop any person you see about to break this local rule.

• All bunkers are in play.
• Motorised vehicles can be used, and you may drive a motorised vehicle over the bridge on 16.
• Please be aware of any wet or muddy areas and keep well away from greens and tees.
• Nearest the pins on the 7th and 13th holes.
• The Oaks Automotive ‘eagles nest’ played on the third. Hit a shot within 1.05 metre and win 9 balls.

The new work around the ninth green, involving the installation of root guard and returfing, has been completed. The freshly returfed area is compulsory GUR and free relief must be taken at the nearest point not closer to the hole.

We have some good news!

From Saturday, 17 holes will be open for play. The only hole still out of action will be the ninth.

Also there will no longer be any shortened holes in play.

Order of Play

Starting on the first, play all the way to the 8th in order including the 5th. After playing the 8th go to the 10th tee to play the back nine.

Special Local Rules

The 12th returns as a par 5 from the normal tee. If your tee shot ends in the muddy patch in the middle of the fairway you can take a free drop using unusual course condition (casual water) provisions.

The 16th returns as a par 4. You will notice that the collased bank has been blocked from entry. This area is to be treated as a no play zone, the same as we have behind the second green except that this is in a penalty area.

If your ball enters that area, then it is in the penalty area and a compulsory penalty drop must be taken from the drop zone which can be found near the palm trees, short and right of the lake.

You are not permitted to enter the cordoned off section for safety reasons. If you do so then you are automatically disqualified. Please stop any person you see about to break this local rule.

You may drive a motorised vehicle over the bridge on 16.

Parts of the 17th fairway are still damp. You can take a free drop using unusual course condition (casual water) provisions if you are affected.

30cm preferred lies are available in the general area of the course (ie fairways and rough). A free drop is available from any ‘brown’ or bare area.

All bunkers are in play.

Motorised vehicles can be used. Please be aware of any wet or muddy areas and keep well away from greens and tees.

Holes 10 and 15 have swapped hole ratings.

Nearest the pins on the 7th and 13th holes.

The Oaks Automotive ‘eagles nest’ is back and played on the third. Hit a shot within 1 metre and win 6 balls.

The new work around the ninth green, involving the instalation of root guard, has been completed.

In recognition of the years of dedication to the gardens and surrounds of Jamberoo Golf Club it is proposed that the 6th tee garden be renamed on a suitable plinth and plaque as “The John Ellsmore Memorial Garden”. This garden was the pride and joy of John who spent many hours pruning and caring for this beautiful place.

We will also need some new volunteers to maintain that garden. 

And some new volunteers for general garden maintenance to help our existing small team which include Pam Middlebrook, Sue Paul, Lieve Stassen and Jeff Draper.

The team look after our gardens, keeping them in fantastic shape. Presently they work on the shop precinct, 1st tee, 2nd green, hedges behind the 4th green, 5th tee, 9th/10th tee, 15th tee, 16th green/17th tee, 2nd/18th tee complex among others. If you have time to help or you are interested then please talk to Pam Middlebrook or give your name to one of our friendly starters.

A great way to contribute to your club.
