THE very popular Jamberoo Valley Veterans Open Golf Tournament is on again this year on Thursday November 25 and Friday November 26.

The event follows the Kiama Seaside Veterans Open which is played on the previous Monday and Tuesday.

Together the two tournaments form a fabulous veterans week of golf for locals and visitors from across the state and even further afield.

The Jamberoo event is limited to 240 entries and in recent years has booked out so you better get in early if you are interested. The popular Thursday night dinner is limited to 160.

Download the bochure and entry form from the main JGC website here or pick one up at the club.

A TEAM of eight Jamberoo veteran members travelled to Russell Vale Golf Club last Wednesday (April 2) to take part in the first round of the new Illawarra Veterans Golf Association Team Challenge.
This is the first running of what is hoped will develop into an annual event and involves seven clubs from the Illawarra.
Clubs enter teams of up to eight players with rounds at each of the participating clubs. The best six stableford scores from each club are added to a cumulative total.
Individual trophies are awarded after each round and the clubs will be vying for the sure to be coveted Trevor Bell Shield.
In the first round Jamberoo’s John Rodgers got the club off to a great start with his 43 points on the very scenic Russel Vale course securing him second place overall. The winner with 45 points was J Reid from Port Kembla.
Unfortunately, the Jamberoo team overall did not fare so well and is aiming to climb off the bottom of the ladder at the next round at Wollongong.
Jamberoo’s six best scores belonged to John Rodgers, Neville Hutchins, Theo Schmeider, Karl Edlinger, Warren Joannou and Norm Bampton.
Once again the irrepressible Ian Boles did a great job organising Jamberoo’s side of things.
The clubs taking part are Jamberoo, Russell Vale, Wollongong, The Grange, Kiama, Shell Cove Links and Port Kembla.
