A Reminder about Member Accounts.

Report authorised by Bob Neilson, Secretary, and David Ransom, Director, on behalf of the Board of Directors of Jamberoo Golf Club.

The Jamberoo Golf Club Membership Financial Year runs from the 1st June until the 31st May.

Too many members have Trophy and Ball account balances that the club can no longer afford to cover as they are a large liability. Members are requested to use their trophy accounts and not just keep them unused. The amounts are hard earned and we have no wish to have members forfeit these.

Relating to the use of trophy accounts. The idea is that members’ trophy accounts have to be closed off, basically at the end of the financial year; they cannot carry over into the following year. If a member has more than a year’s subscription fees in their trophy account, the excess will go to the following year’s fees in advance, but must not just carry over. If a member leaves the club and fails to renew their membership, any funds left unused in the trophy account will be forfeited to the Club.

Here are the rules.

Any balance remaining in a member’s trophy account (including their ball account) at the end of each JGC financial year (31st of May) must be redeemed by the end of the following month (30th June). Trophy accounts can be used to purchase items from the golf shop, used for cart hire and competition fees, used at Drummond Golf (if the balance is more than $100) or to pay all or part of annual subscription fees (unless a member chooses to pay monthly). However, unused trophy account balances as at 30th June cannot carry over into the following financial year.

If there are any funds still in a member’s trophy account after 30th June, that balance will be automatically credited toward their subscription fees for the following year(s). If a member chooses to pay monthly for the coming year, unused funds in their trophy account after 30th June will be forfeited to the Club, so please spend these in any of the ways suggested above in this case.

If a member fails to fully renew their membership by the 14th of July, any funds left unused in their trophy account will be forfeited to the Club when the member is subsequently removed from the membership register. 

Trophy vouchers won by visitors must be redeemed at the club within 3 months of issue or will be cancelled at the expiry of the period. 

Those members who would like to arrange the balance of their trophy and ball accounts to be transferred into their members account before the cut-off date should see Marie in the Office who will be happy to assist you.

Strong opposition and home ground advantage were to much for our C Pennant team to overcome today with the result being 5-0 to the Links Shell Cove.

The B Pennant came up against Port Kembla at Shoalhaven Heads but found the going tough against the forminable Port team, the end result was 4-1 for Port Kembla.

The highlight of the day from our perspective was Kyle Van Woerkom winning his debut match for Jmaberoo 4/2 against his low handicapped opponent. Well played Kyle.

The White Horse Cup division 2 team played against the Gerringong club at Worrigee Links. In a very exciting match Jamberoo won 4-3.

It came down to our number 7, Peter Young, who withstood the pressure to win the last hole and the match for Jamberoo.

Other winners were Phil Gosling 3/2, Andrew Ransom 6/4, and Rob Young 2up, Rob holing a 10 metre putt on the last to win his match.
