Please be aware of your tee placement when you enter the shop to facillitate the start of the day.
Session 2 players please pay as you arrive.
Don’t forget your gold coin.
Recently two of our current women members caught up for a Christmas cuppa with one of our Life Members. Can you recognise them? Life member 0007 – Betty, was in fine spirits and loved the catch-up with friends.
Another group of women members enjoyed a morning tea hosted by our Welfare Officer. Plenty of stories and laughs were shared.
The Champagne 9 golfers took the opportunity to farewell our temporary member Elizabeth Taylor who has been visiting her daughter, Rachel, in Jamberoo for 3 months. Liz joked about our English terms for “burglars” which she calls “bandits”, and of course “thongs” which she calls “flip flops”. We returned the favour by introducing her to “gobblers” and “birdie juice”. We thanked her for sharing her time with us and wished her and her husband, Pat (who was busy playing Saturday bowls), a safe journey home.
This is a perfect example of how our great game of Golf can create connections and friendships across the globe.

Next Saturday promises to be a highlight of the year with the inaugral playing of the special event in honour of lost mates, the Memorial Day.
The day is a 4 person Ambrose with two sessions. The morning session was popular and 21 groups have already booked for the 7.30 am start. I have heard today that when the booking sheet opened at midnight 17 places instantly were taken. All available spots have been taken for this session.
To meet demand a second session will be played commencing at about 11.30 am. Please arrive early say at 11 am. If you use a phone to book then it might seem that all of these places have also been taken up. Not to worry, I have used the social, afternoon booking page, to allow more people to book in.
Your tee will be allocted during the week.
Don’t forget to bring a gold coin for a sausage sandwich after, or before, your game.
During your game say a prayer to remember our lost friends.
The Champagne 9 will not be held on this day.
After golf today a special presentation was held to welcome the Mens’ 2023 Pennant players. Platinum Plus and Pennant Sponsor, Steve Oppert, was at hand to present each player with their club representative shirt. Our teams are all strong and we can expect excellent results in this year’s Pennant season. Congratulations to all of our players and good luck in the season which commences on January 29.
Play well.
On Monday, January 30, the first of the shotgun starts will take place at the club. The event of the day will be a 2 person Ambrose so please don’t book in a threesome.
This will be the first of the 3 shotgun starts to be held in 2023 with a free BBQ and with $10.00 entries into the comp for Jamberoo Vet members and $16.00 for non-Jamberoo Vet members as promised.
I apologise for the error on the notice on the Vets Board which somebody highlighted. It would be appreciated if in future that person could come and quietly talk to me about it, rather than place a critical notice on the Board without signing their name. I am human and often make mistakes. Many members approach me to make suggestions and to remind me of matters and I always respect and listen to these opinions.
Like many volunteers at the club I give up my game and time to make it possible for members to enjoy their day. If you wish, you can take over the running of these events. Your help would be appreciated.

When you book in using our on-line booking page for SATURDAY 28th of JANUARY you will notice that the page has been divided into two sessions because it is a SHOTGUN START.
The first 22 timeslots will be allocated to the first session with a tee off time of 7.30 am. Please be at the club by at least 7 am. If you receive a tee time reminder via email or phone it may well say your tee time is 7.30.
The second session commences after the completion of the first session, sometime time after 11am. Your reminder will say 7.37 tee off as the program can’t handle the double SHOTGUN starts.
Please book in any place as a draw will be made for starting holes.
Remember to reserve a cart when booking if you require one for the first session.
All carts will be available for the second session so reservations will not be needed for carts then. Book them in when paying for the competition.
The cost of the Competition is $20 per player and it is a 4 person Ambrose.
A sausage sizzle will be held after session 1 and before session 2.
Please bring some coins as a gold coin donation will get you a sausage sanger!
It would be appreciated if members hitting off in the first session could assist in bringing carts out of the shed in the morning.
