Volunteer Working Bee – Friday 29 September 2023.

The end of the month comes around quickly and Friday 29^th September is the next Volunteer Working Bee.

Thanks to members and friends who turned out last month to dig, weed, mulch and continue the work on the gardens around the Course. Thanks to Nick who helped out once or twice too!

This month there are plans for a focus on Starters Shed maintenance and painting. There will still be a few smaller gardening tasks for those who like the company of plants!

Please register your participation with the golf shop by Wednesday 27/9/23 so that we can ensure we have enough lunch to go around. Be sure to wear closed in shoes and a hat, and for the gardeners, please bring along your trowels, forks or mattocks.

We meet at 8.15am at the Starters Shed and finish about 12:00 for lunch. Hope to see you there!

Tuesday Bookings.

Members are reminded that the Women’s competition runs from 8 am to 9.30 on Tuesdays and the course is reserved for this purpose during this time.

Member bookings for social play should be made outside of these hours.

Results Page Updated.

Jamberoo starter Rod Hodkinson informed me today that some members have made enquiries as to recent results not being published.

I can inform the membership that all results have indeed been published on the day of the competition.

The issue appears to be that the web master has updated the results page due to an error on that page.

If you are receiving a page entitled ‘Results Archive’ then go back to the Jamberoo Golf Club home page, click on the golf tab, then click on results and the proper page will appear with all recent comp results.

Upcoming Golfing Events.

1. Saturday 23rd September – 4BBB Medley Stableford. This event won’t be handicapped. Two players play as partners each taking strokes at holes as in a stableford competition. The better point score on a hole from either of the pair becomes the team score for that hole. Each team swaps cards and acts as the marker for the other team.

See the scoring example below.

10		4/3	3
11		4/2	2

Bookings are presently being taken at the golf shop for this major event on our golfing calendar. It is a 4 person Ambrose Event. All gender combinations of teams will be accepted.

3. Mens Fourball Matchplay – This competition will commence on the 1st of October. Entries are now being taken on the form in the golfshop. Entry fee is $9 per player.

A very warm Spring day greeted the 22 participants in the 2023 Mixed Foursomes Championships.

The scoring was pretty hot as well!

3 teams finished within two shots of each other for the overall gross and the nett event results were also close.

The winners of the 2023 Mixed Foursomes are Kelley Greaves and Ron Chilby with 133 off the stick.

The nett winners were Linda Kirwan and Larry Kent with 102.75.

Balls went to Bruce Roberton & Leesa Swan and to Bruce Byers & Kay Brennan both teams with nett scores of 105.75.

Congratulations to our new champions and thank you to all other teams for participating in this very fun event.

Mens Foursomes Championship will be held on Saturday October 28. Time to be planning your two person team!

Red tee markers.

We have at the moment only Mens and Womens White and Blue Courses. In the past these have been designated by White and Blue tee markers.

Please note the clarification in the following paragraphs.

The red tee markers are for women players. They will be used for all competitions run by the Women’s Committee.

In all other competitions play will proceed from the white or blue tee markers depending on the course being played.

Larry Kent, Captain

An Unlikely Eagle spotted at the 6th today.

Congratulations to Chris Goodwin who managed to score an eagle 2 at the sixth today. Hitting a solid drive down the middle Chris pulled out his 7 iron and played his second shot straight over the Camphor Laurel tree towards the green. Not having the best of sight at the moment he searched for his ball over the back thinking it might have gone swimming.

A suggestion to look in the hole proved fruitful for indeed there was Chris’ ball sweetly settled at the bottom. He was both pleased and surprised.

3 balls to your kitty Chris. Well played.

Upcoming Events

This Sunday sees the playing of the Mixed Foursomes Championship over 27 holes. Plenty of spaces are still available.
