Volunteers.

by Col Booth

Jamberoo will always be indebted to our many volunteers for their spirit and dedication to our club.

The following groups

(1) Nicks Team 

(2) Members who generously donated from their Trophy Account Funds, and the 

(3) ‘Blood, Sweat and Tears’ Volunteers who ventured onto the Course, and Volunteers in General. 

are to rewarded, as a gesture of thanks, by a special stubby holder designed in their honour to recognize their support of our club.

These will be available for distribution very shortly and you will be informed through the ‘Daily Cow’ when and where they will be available.

Veteran Matters.

by Dave Ransom

On the suggestion of some ‘seasoned’ veteran members and as a new initiative for our Monday Veteran Members it is envisaged that a seasonal stroke round be played from the White course.

They will be known as the Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn Vet Medals.

Incentive for ‘Young at heart’ Members 

Those members 80+ years young or over will also be acknowledged/rewarded with a Half yearly Medal.

Presentation of Medals 

Everyone goes to great lengths to win a Medal but once achieved there is no official presentation or interest (we have tried in the past to capture winning members with a photo but they become elusive, shy souls)   

Medals will be presented in half yearly BBQ’s in December and March.

Saturday Red Shield Charity Ambrose.

Cost of the round is $25 which includes a $10 donation to the Red Shield Appeal which may be claimed in your tax return. Those members seeking an official receipt for tax purposes can contact the Salvation Army representatives on site for the day. Further donations will also be gladly accepted.

2024 Mens Veterans Championship.

A fine day greeted the 64 players for today’s playing of the Mens Veterans Championship and Stableford. With the course still a little damp and with the pins in very tricky positions many found the course to be bearish and arduous.

Not Craig Foster though. Craig tamed the course with a 74 off the stick (63 nett) to easily win the Championship by 14 shots! A highlight for Craig was a birdie on 18, a hole most found very cantankerous.

The nett winner was Col Booth with a 67, 3 clear of his nearest rivals. Col employed successfully his usual tactics of playing sensibly aiming to shoot near his handicap.

33 members and visiting players had the opportunity to play a stableford from the Blue tees. Jamberoo member Dave Newton led them all home with a score of 35 points.

Congratulations to our new Veterans Champion and well played to all players supporting this major event. Thanks also to all of our visitors. You are always most welcome.

2024 Women’s Championship.

Good luck to all players in tomorrow’s 1st round of the Women’s Championship. The second and third rounds will be played Thursday this week and Tuesday next week respectively.

Plovers on the “swoop”.

There are many hazards on our course but here is another one you might not expect. The Plovers are nesting near the bridge on the 16th and are very aggressively defending their young ones at the moment. Just ask Andrew and Dan who both felt the displeasure of a Plover swoop attack. Make sure they can see your eyes and don’t walk in this area on your own!

New carpet tee on the 5th.

As a trial a small section of the 5th tee has been carpeted so that wear on the tee can be managed. Apparently the new area will accept most tees and has a soft grass like feel to it.

As long as your ball is between the markers you can take your stance on either the carpet or grass.

Please, when the tee is located in this area players are requested not to move the tee markers. Only the greenkeeper or club captains are allowed to move the tees.

Mixed Event this Sunday.

The booking sheet is available for this Sunday’s Mixed fourball. Plenty of spaces still available.

B9ers off and running.

The Thursday Blokes only competition, the B9s, was off to an excellent start with good weather and very interesting topics of conversation. I believe some drinks were enjoyed after the 9 holes were played!

If you are new member of the club then this would be a great opportunity to get to meet other members of Jamberoo and get an introduction to our course.

Pictured – The June bunch of blokes!

No handicap required. The B9 is run every third Thursday hitting off at 2.30. The next round will held be on Thursday 18th of July.
