Action from the Women’s Comp

Congratulations to Kay Brennan who scored a hole-in-one today. Playing the 7th hole, Kay sent her wedge to the right edge of the green and watched in amazement as it curled nicely towards the pin, bounced gently and rolled all the way to the cup where it went in!

Kay receives inclusion on the Jamberoo hole-in-one Honour Board, a bottle of wine and golf hat from St Halletts and GolfNSW, 6 balls from the club, has her successful ball mounted into a commemerative trophy and is blessed with lasting memories of her first ace!

Club Stubby Holders have arrived

Our unique stubby holders have arrived and are available for purchase from the club.

Featuring “Winky” the cow they are available in two colours. Ask at the Office to purchase yours.

I think they are a ‘must-have’ item for every golf bag and would make a wonderful gift.

Stocks are limited so get in fast. Just $10 each.

Course and Pennant News

Monday and Tuesday Comps

I have been informed this afternoon that the greenstaff will need Monday to clean up the debris from the back nine and mow these fairways and greens.

This will mean that we will play the Monday’s Veterans Competition using the front nine twice as we did on Saturday. Some blending in between the early starters and those off from 8 will be necessary. It worked successfully on Saturday.

Carts will be available to use.

Score your card down the page with the second nine round on the bottom half of the card. Use the handicaps from the front nine both times. If you cannot work out how to find the Stableford scores for each hole just write the strokes taken on the card and I will calculate them for you.

The full course will be open for play on Tuesday.

Today’s Oaks Automotive Pennant Results

After last week’s struggles I can report a positive turnaround for our teams today.

The C Pennant Division 1 were playing Kiama at Kiama. In a great result they drew with Kiama 2.5 matches each. This is very good for the team as getting any points away from home is very difficult.

Pat Paris lost on the 18th,

Mal Hoy lost 4/3,

Ken Bradley won 2/1,

Tom Zimmermann squared his match,

Chris Leckey won 1 up.

The White Horse Cup Division 1 side won their match 5-2 playing Gerringong at St Georges Basin.

Alan Jones won 5/4,

John Anthony lost on the 18th,

Matt Ross won 1 up,

Larry Kent won 3/2,

Geoff Draper won 1 up,

Don Thompson won 3/1,

Phil Gosling lost 7/6.

The White Horse cup Division 3 team had an emphatic 7-0 victory over Shoalhaven Heads at Nowra.

Arthur Bosanquet won 4/2,

Lee Haywood won 3/1,

Anthony Smith won 1 up,

Angus Pinkstone won 2/1,

Brad Jenkins won 2/1,

Peter Francis won 5/4,

Peter Young won 1 up after making a difficult sloping putt on the 18th.

Well done Jamberoo.

Next Sunday the C Pennant play Kiama at home for the ‘Town and Country Cup’ as well as important competition points, the WHC div 1 team play Moss Vale in a top of the table clash at Gerringong, and the WHC div 3 team play Sussex Inlet at Sussex Inlet in a very important game.

Saturday Play

The breaking news is that Greg Quigg scored 50 individual points in today’s double nine comp!

I think it fair to say that he has a fondness for the front nine!

28 points the first time around followed by a credible 22 points the second time. WOW.

Well played Greg. Not many can boast about such a score. Repeat it next week and we will see your handicap slashed!

The rest of us enjoyed very warm conditions with the course mostly dry. Thanks to our green staff for arranging the front nine to be open for play today.

Ken Bradley won A grade, Greg Quigg obviously took out B grade with Jim Henry in second place with 42 points. Lidia Waine was our C grade winner with 37 points one better than Doug Perry.

The Champagne 9 continues to grow in popularity with the field keenly enjoying a 4BBB stableford today.

First place getters were Mitch Smee & Ruth Jurd with 24pts with Sylvia Karschies & S Kennedy with 19 points as runners up.

Good luck tomorrow for our Mens’ Pennant teams.

Course Re-Opens for Saturday Competition

The course is drying remarkably and it has been decided to open the front nine for play this weekend.

This means that the Saturday competition will be played with Members allowed the use of motorised carts.

The front nine will be played twice with some ‘blending’ of tee times between 7.30 and 10 for those starting and those half way through.

Hopefully, with no further rainfall on the weekend, things will return to normal for the Monday Veterans comp.

For your information, the course received over 300ml over the 48 hours of the storm.

Course Update

Did I mention golf on the weekend?

Perhaps a nice meal after a long drive (in a car) would suit?

A nice outing on a boat perhaps?

Indoor card games are an option.

With today’s further rain it is extremely doubtful if the course will be ready for play this weekend.

Any change and I will let you know.
