JAMBEROO GOLF CLUB has entered teams in the B, C and White Horse Cup competitions for the upcoming 2013 Pennant Season.
Members who are interested in representing their club in these competitions are invited to submit their name on the relevant sheet which is available outside the Golf Club Office and the Starter’s shed.
The Illawarra District Golf Association has made some changes in the team size and handicap limits for the 2013 season. Each game will consist of 5 matches instead of the previous 7. This has been implemented to hopefully encourage more clubs to participate in each pennant.
Handicap limits have also been altered. Handicaps in B Pennant will now range from 6 -12 (formerly 7-13). In C Pennant handicaps will range from 13 -18 (formerly 14-18). This again has been implemented to encourage greater participation by clubs. White Horse Cup handicaps are up to a maximum of 24.
The competitions commence on Sunday the 3rd of February for the B Pennant and White Horse Cup and on Sunday 10th of February for the C Pennant.
In B Pennant we have been placed in Division 2 with our first game against Vincentia Golf Club at the Links Shell Cove. Other games are against Gerringong, Kiama, Nowra, Shoalhaven Heads, Links Shell Cove and Worrigee Links. Our home game is on the 24th February against Worrigee. Last year we were placed 2nd in the division with poor weather ruining our chances.
In C Pennant we have also been placed in Division 2 with our first game against Gerringong at Kiama on the 10th of February. Other games are against Vincentia, Nowra, St Georges Basin, Vincentia and Kiama. Our home game is against St Georges Basin on the 17th of February. Last year we placed 3rd in the division after leading until the last round. We are also holders of the ‘Town and Country’ Cup in our annual challenge against Kiama Golf Club.
We have been placed in Division 1 for the White Horse Cup. The season commences against Wollongong at the Grange on the 10th of February. There is no home game in White Horse Cup and we host the other clubs on the 3rd of February. Other games are against Bowral, Links Shell Cove, Moss Vale, Port Kembla, Russell Vale, Sussex Inlet and The Grange. Last year we performed well finishing 6th in our division.
If you feel that you would like to be involved in these representative teams please place your name on the relevant list. We are planning to pick teams by mid-December so don’t leave it to the last moment or you may miss out.
We wish all teams great success for the upcoming season.
