Just Bathrooms 4BBB Cup.

The Just Bathrooms Cup is a 4BBB event held from January to June with one round per month. 5 of the best 6 rounds recorded by each team count for the final total.

Round 2 was played today despite the hostile weather of the morning.

The player you teamed up with in round 1 will remain your partner for the tournament. You don’t even need to play the round with your partner as we will match scores from your individual scores each round.

It is probably wise if you do team up each round, however, as it is easier to work as a team in this way.

Here are the teams with their standings after round 2

JB 4BBB CUP – round 2

Careful where you park – PRIVATE CAR PARKING SPACES

Members are reminded that the four car parking spaces just to the left as you turn into the Golf Club are PRIVATE spaces that belong to our neighbour. Apparently some members have been parking there recently, which causes problems. If you see any golfers parking there, please help out by telling them not to do so.

Women’s Presidents vs Captains Matchplay

In a close competition, the Captain’s team came to the fore. To show how close, 4 of the matches were squared. As well, a couple of the matches went to the 18th hole. Balls were given out to all of the Captain’s team as well as those who squared or won for the President’s team.

It was good practice for the upcoming pennant season.

Women’s Pennants start next week – good luck to all teams.

Sunday Results for Jamberoo

The Oaks Automotive Jamberoo Pennant teams achieved mixed results today.

Two of our three teams had outstanding wins but our third team crashed on the back nine to lose convincingly.

C Pennant win back the Town & Country Cup

After 10 long, sad years the C Pennant team have finally won back the T&C trophy from Kiama with an outstanding performance at home today.

The Town & Country Cup is the annual trophy held between the two teams from the Kiama LGA in the C Pennant and is played whenever the two teams are drawn together in the same division. Clearly the trophy had more significance for our team this year as we were strongly motivated to get the trophy back after our good showing last week at Kiama.

Pat Paris won 7/5

Ken Bradley won 3/1

An opportunity to win this firepit and drink cooler, valued at $450, in a raffle to be held on the day. Tickets will be $5 each and will be able to be purchased Friday from Steve at the butcher, at the preschool or on Saturday at the bbq.

American Foursomes Rules

Many members are looking forward to the playing of this fun, two person team event on Saturday 25th. Many have not played the game before and are curious as to the method of play.

Firstly, both team members tee off on every hole. Player A goes to player B’s tee shot and plays it, and player B goes to player A’s tee shot and plays that.

After this the team chooses one of the second shots as the team ball for the rest of the hole. If player A’s original ball is chosen then player B plays that ball as the team’s third shot. If player B’s ball is chosen then player A plays that ball as the team’s third shot.

From here the players alternate shots until the ball is holed.

The process starts again on the next tee.

[Both Players play from the tee, exchange balls and
play a further shot before playing alternately with the favoured ball until holed out].

Handicap is 3/8 of aggregate team handicaps.

This game is sometimes referred to as a Pinehurst or Greensomes if you live in the USA.

A fun, enjoyable game.
