JAMBEROO LADY GOLFERS held their Annual Tee Off for Breast Cancer Day on the 17th July in perfect weather.

A field of 98 women played including visitors from eleven golf clubs, all wearing pink.

John Keeling our Starter for Tuesdays got into the spirit. He wore pink and decorated the golf carts and golf shop and surrounds. John also donated pink scarfs he purchased from the McGrath Foundation.

John Duncan, Course Superintendent and staff once again painted the Breast Cancer Logo’s of pink lady and ribbons on various parts of the course, including a straight pink line all the way down the 6th, and placed our pink flags on18 greens.

Lunch was available in the Jamberoo Bowling club Bistro. Mario generously allowed our Jamberoo ladies to supply their famous home-made slices and cakes, and ask for a gold coin donation towards the Charity day.

First prize in the raffle was a PINK golf bag, followed by a stack of prizes donated by lady members.

We also thank our lady members who donated over 50 trophies for the competition winners.

The Event raised $1596 to go directly to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

Lady Golf President Shirley Walsh and Captain Marie Farrant were extremely pleased with the day and thank all the Jamberoo golf members for their help and generosity in making the day a success.

Day 1

Perfect weather greeted the players. Crows busy all day. There was a favourite sand iron bent beyond use—that dam tree on the 4th and a check of rules to see if one could be borrowed from the shop. The answer was yes, as Kay Brennan continued new club in hand, which from all accounts she liked. Marilyn Wright, Margaret Cook and Margaret Potter were  the stars of the day, beating the fast greens and tricky pin placements.

Day 2

Perfect weather again, a few less players, but just as many crows. The call could be heard around the course. Loretta Green, Chris Miller and Margaret Potter were the stars of this day. Home-made Slice was the drawcard to keep around 40 staying for a chat.

Day 3

Weather was on everyone minds as the double century 100 km winds and 100ml of rain threatened.  The weather man was correct but all players in and enjoying a chat when the change hit.

Marie Farrant, Jo Bourke and Sue Paul shared the good scores.

The weather man shines for us again. Cold start but beautiful day.

Heavy going for all concerned. At the end of the day the engraver will be busy engraving the following winners

Kay Brennan.  A Grade Champion, and overall Nett Winner (Pat Norman Memorial Trophy)

Margaret Cook B Grade champion

Sue Paul C Grade champion

Kay continued with a great last round with that borrowed sand iron.

Margaret held off all contenders with another solid round.

Sue won on a count back from Margaret Potter — both were concerned that a playoff was happening but a read of conditions of play said this is only to occur for A Grade. Luckily for Sue no drug testing was done as Codral helped her cruise around the final 2 rounds. Beware the sick golfer. Apparently considering adding it to her game.

Vets Ladies Champion: Marilyn Wright

Seniors Vet Champion: Rose Sheath

Congratulations to all winners and to the Ladies Committee for their excellent organization. Thanks also goes out to the starters and green staff, the course was set to challenge.
