Captain’s team triumphant.

The battle for bragging rights for the next year was desperately close with the defending champions, the President’s team, taking an early 6 point lead in the annual contest between the President’s and Captain’s teams. As the afternoon developed a late charge saw the Captain’s team come from behind to win the contest 27.5 points to 25.5 points and regain the title after 3 long years of suffering.

What is more important was that $450 was raised for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Thanks to all players for their support of this worthy cause.

4 players from yesterday’s round have won selection to represent Jamberoo Golf Club in the “Premier’s Challenge, to be played at Castle Hill Golf Club in an Ambrose event later in the year, all expenses paid.

Congratulations to Lance Fredericks, Peter Wheatley, Brian Aboozaid and Lauie Fogarty.

Details will be communicated as they come to hand.

Bob at it again!

Bob Neilson continued his recent excellent shotmaking skills with another ‘Super shot’ win yesterday on the 13th. A superb shot to 76 cm to the very difficult back right flag position left Bob with the Jackpot again for the 4th time in a fortnight. Rumours are that Bob is thinking about opening a ‘money lending’ service to the rest of the impoverished membership!

Bob seen here contemplating what to do with all of his recent “super” winnings.

Monday Veterans Ambrose

A reminder that the Ambrose set down to play tomorrow is not a shotgun start.

Please arrive for your booked tee time.

The cost for Jamberoo members is $10 and there is a free sausage sandwich after your round.

President vs Captain Charity Day – Saturday May 27.

The Annual President vs Captain Medal Matchplay Day will be held this Saturday.

Cost of the comp will be $20 for members and $29 for visitors. $4 of this will be donated to the designated charity, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation on your behalf.

Each player will be allocated to either the Presidential team or to the Captain’s team and this will be marked on your scorecard as P or C.

The rules are simple, P1 vs C1 and P2 v C2 in each group. The winner of each match is the player with the highest number of stableford points at the conclusion of the round.

Please mark on top of your card how many points you received:

1 point for a win

0.5 points for a draw

and 0 points for a loss.

We will tally all the points and the winning team will be the team with the most overall points.

[If you are in a group of 3, don’t worry. We will match you up with another player at the end].

The Presidential team is the defending champion and have bragging rights at the moment.

First prize will go to the overall winner, and prizes will go to the first, second and third in each team.

It is expected that players may remind their opponent the distance to water hazards, the proximity of out of bounds and the tricky nature of that short putt. The loser of each match should, as always, buy the first round to thank their opponent on a well-played, although lucky, game.

Enter your individual scores as normal before placing them in the box.

Handicap: 1/4 combined handicaps. Female players attract an extra 4 shots to their handicap which is calculated from the Blue Course.

1. Both players are to tee off on all holes and play all shots.
2. A minimum of 6 tee shots shall be selected for each player and marked on the score card.
3. Select the best ball to play and mark its position. Decide as you walk to the balls which ball to play so as to keep play flowing. Both players will play from this spot. Both players place their ball within one club length (10cm on Putting Green) of the selected ball (or mark) and play their next shot.

President vs Captain Charity Day next Saturday

Each year the annual President vs Captain Charity Day is held on the last Saturday in May.

The format of the day is ‘Medal Stableford Matchplay’.

Each player is allocated into either the President’s team or the Captain’s team and play a stableford match against a fellow competitor in the group. President 1 v Captain 1 and P2 v C2.

The player with the largest stableford score after the 18 holes receives a point for their team, a drawn match gives a 1/2 point to each team and a loss gives zero points.

The team with the largest number of points is declared the winner. The Presidential team are the current holders of the bragging rights. Polite sledging is an expected part of each match!

The winning team nominate to which charity all money raised is allocated. In an interesting development this year the Junior Diabetes Research Foundation has been chosen by both teams as the worthy recipient.

JDRF Australia (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) supports the 127, 000 Australian’s who live with type one diabetes. JDRF’s mission is to accelerate life-changing breakthroughs to cure, treat and prevent type 1 diabetes.
