Continuing the tradition of Jamberoo Members generously donating to worthy charities this Saturday’s Ambrose will be dedicated to ‘The Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund‘.

The JDRF works to improve the lives of those affected by type 1 diabetes in three ways.

Research: We evaluate the global research landscape and support the most promising programs from innovative early-stage research through to life-changing clinical trials – all with the goal of treating, preventing or curing T1D.

Advocacy: We push to shape government policy and approval for new treatments, advocating for research funding and financial support.

Community: We provide support for the T1D community, creating connections across the T1D field and sharing knowledge.

If you wish you can make a cash donation into the jar which will be located near where you collect your score card. The club will match $ for $ any cash donation.

Alternatively you can donate direct to the charity online via their web page https://jdrf.org.au/

As a further choice you can donate to any charity of your choice if you so desire.

Golf Operations moved to Bar Area.

As many members seem to know a section of the ceiling in the golfshop collapsed on Friday and is disrupting our ability to use the golf shop. Urgent repairs will take place as soon as possible.

For safety reasons we have been forced to continue all golf operations in the bar area until repairs have been completed.

Monday Vets 2 Person Ambrose.

Tomorrow sees the playing of a shotgun start from 7.30. Please be at the club well before this time to assist the starter get out carts and to organise you into your tee arrangements.

Cost is $10 per person and includes a free sausage sandwich at the conclusion along with a free raffle.

Charity 4 person Ambrose next Saturday.

The ‘official charity’ nominated for next Saturday’s 4 person Ambrose is the Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund.

A container will be left out near the bar for any members who wish to give a cash donation to the ‘Juvenile Diabetes Research’ fund.

In a new innovation members unable to make a cash donation are requested to make a private donation to their favourite charity as they see fit.

Congratualtions to the 2023 Goldies!

Both the Men’s and Women’s 4 Ball Matchplay titles are reaching their conclusions for 2023.

In the Women’s, the final was played last Friday with the team of Helen Wainwright and Pam Middlebrook winning 5/4 over Jenelle Anderson and Kay Brennan to become the 2023 Hooker Cup Champions. Congratulations to both teams on reaching the final and well played to our new champions.

In the Mens the final is about to be played between Peter Francis & Noel Laman versus Ron Hewson & Pete Munro. A close match is certainly expected and on the cards.

Good luck to both teams.

Hot weather precautions.

We have had several hot days already on the course and with summer approaching players are advised to take some precautions.

While the lower activity levels of golf compared to athletics mean that the risks are somewhat reduced, the individual response to heat varies from person to person and therefore no hard and fast guidelines will suit every member of a population.
Those who need to be especially vigilant include children, overweight people, those unacclimatised (having come from cooler climes), those who are unwell or otherwise at risk.
Factors which impair the body’s ability to dissipate heat are:
High ambient temperature, Solar radiation, Humidity (which compromises the efficacy of sweating)
and Dehydration.

• Where possible, golf should be played in the morning to avoid the hottest part of the day.
• To diminish the risk of heat stress, fluid should be consumed before, during and after golf. Water is considered an adequate fluid option for activities lasting up to one hour. Participants in events or activities exceeding one hour are recommended to use carbohydrate-based sports drinks as a means of replacing fluids, carbohydrates and electrolytes lost during prolonged activity. In regard to post-event re-hydration, it needs to be remembered that this can take 24 hours or more.
• Light coloured, loose fitting clothes, of natural fibres or composite fabrics, with high wicking (absorption) properties that provide for adequate ventilation are recommended as the most appropriate clothing in the heat.
• It is recommended that all players, caddies and officials wear hats to assist in the prevention of heat illness. Ideally, hats should be wide-brimmed and well vented.
• Sunscreen with a minimum SPF (Sun Protection Factor) rating of 30+ should be used by all players, it is recommended that the sunscreen is reapplied periodically at approximately two-hour intervals.
