Cool temperatures, a slight breeze and intermittent drizzle greeted the Bronze team at The Grange today for their encounter with the team from Nowra.

Commencing on the 10th tee, scores fluctuated for Lidia Waine and Kim Oborn, both of whom eventually secured a 3/2 victory.  Rhonda McKinley wasn’t so lucky coming up against a strong opponent and eventually succumbed 7/5.

News from the Course

Members on Tour

Luke and Kim Oborn have recently returned from the Central West Vets Week of Golf held in Orange with good results.

Kim won the nearest the pin at Wentworth before taking out the Division 3 Stableford event at Duntryleague on Day 3. The husband & wife team then combined to win the 4BBB team event also played at Duntryleague to conclude the week.

Luke and Kim Oborn.

Another member – Lynne Berringer was also successful at the Corowa – Howlong Vets Week of Golf winning division 2 in her final game. In further news Peter Hackett won at Howlong with a score of 40 points and Rob Maclean managed 4th place at Corowa.

Fishing wasn’t bad as well.

Congratulations to our members who have represented Jamberoo and helped put our Club on the map.

Take care in the carpark please

Our carpark gets quite congested on competition days and spaces are at a premium. It is also a place where you definitely should not travel over 20km/hr due to the amount of pedestrian traffic and the need to turn sharply into vacant car spots.

Last Saturday member Chris Leckey returned to his car after golf only to be thoroughly disappointed to find his car had been hit. The culprit had not left a note nor informed the golf shop of the mishap. Accidents can happen but one should always take responsibility for any such accident.

We are currently checking video footage of the carpark but would rather appreciate the guilty party to ‘fess up’ and inform the club with their details. I’m pretty sure such things are covered by car insurance.

Course in excellent condition after storm.

I have been informed today that the course has recovered well from the Sunday deluge. 138 ml of rain had fallen on the course over the three days from Sunday.

The course is now fully open and golf carts and ride-on buggies will be allowed from Friday.

A view of the 18th, taken today.

This Saturday we are playing a four-person Ambrose with a slight difference, there will be two divisions.

Division 1 is for teams with team handicaps less than 10, and division 2 is for teams with handicaps 10 or more.

Here are the rules for your information.

Rules:

  1. All players tee off on all holes.
  2. Select the best ball to play as you walk to the balls so as to keep play flowing. 
  3. The chosen ball is marked, all players place their ball within one club length (10cm on Putting Green) of the selected ball mark and play their next shot.
  4. If the position of the selected ball is in the rough, sand bunker or a penalty area then the balls must be placed and played from the rough, sand bunker or penalty area. This process continues until the team has completed the hole.
  5. At least three tee shots from each team member must be used and shown on the scorecard.
  6. The scorecard must be signed by the marker and one other team member.

Handicap:     1/8 combined handicaps (Show individual handicaps on card)

Prize Structure: Overall nett winner, then division 1 and 2 winners, then gross winners in each division.
