Unfortunately the overnight 15 ml of rain has again topped off the water table and caused the closure of the course until at least next Tuesday. Another inspection will be conducted next Monday.

Jamberoo Mens Open Postponed until July 31

The Jamberoo Mens Open had been set down for play on Sunday May 22.

The issue with the collapsed bank on the 16th is unlikely to be repaired by this time so it has been decided to move the Open to July 31.

This event is one of the most important on our golfing calendar and is important to play as it allows many visiting golfers the opportunity to experience our challenging and beautiful course.

On the advice of the greenkeeper the course is closed today, Thursday and Friday.

A further inspection will be made on Friday.

For those who are wishing to attend Bryan’s memorial service it will be held today at Hansen and Cole, Kembla Grange at 10 am.

If you are unable to attend but would like to show your respect please follow the link below.

RIP mate.

The Green keeper and VC Larry have closed the course for Wednesday due to the wet conditions. I apologise for the late notice.

The course will be open on Thursday and Friday for social play at this stage.

Vice-Captain Larry Kent has inspected the course today to look over the conditions.

Here is his report.

12ml rain fell over night, it’s not looking all that good. Larry spoke to green keeper Nick, vice-president Kim & Director Loretta after they played today.
Holes out of play are still 2/5/9/16/17 & now 7, as it is extremely wet & around the pond slippery. The ladies found it dangerous and I nearly slipped into the pond just on the edge.

So holes in playing order are 1/3/4/10/8/6/11 thru to 15 then 18, this will give us 12 holes for the time being. Green staff are working very hard & a lot of places still can’t cut the grass down enough. 

After today’s inspection bare patches, & muddy brown patches on fairways nearest point of relief. 1 club length relief thru the course, as well on greens nearest point relief on bare & muddy areas.

Tee the ball up through the general areas of the course.

NO carts this week as the course is still very wet.

The holes we have in play some have some very wet areas still especially just off the areas 10 & 6 are the worst. 16 is a no go this week. A temp green before the lake on 16 will be looked at on Friday.
Larry will go back out Friday & do another inspection.

Jamberoo Golf Course is currently open for competition and social play with a walk-up-start 13 hole Stableford comp scheduled for Anzac Day Monday and social play available over the long weekend.

Cost of the comp is just $12 with 13 hole social play available for $22 (the usual 9 hole rate).

A successful 13 hole comp was played on Saturday with participants playing 1 then 3, 4, across to 10 then 8, 6, 7, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and finishing on 18.

Despite the recent record rainfall many found the open holes in surprising playable condition. Here’s hoping the rain holds off and provides a chance for an 18 hole competition come Wednesday (touch wood).
