White Duck Day a Quacking Great Success
Diabetes is an insidious disease especially when it affects the young. Any money raised for research is very important and Jamberoo Golf Club were more than pleased to be involved in supporting Juvenile Diabetes Research.
Well done to the sponsors of the day, the participants in the White Duck Golf Day and the supporters of the raffle.
Overall over $2350 was raised and we look forward to running this event in the future.
Thank you.
Length of Rounds Research
I have asked members recently to put down their starting and finishing times for competitions held at Jamberoo.
The results are that the average length of a stableford round is 4 hours on a Wednesday and 3 hours 45 minutes on a Saturday. Some interesting patterns also emerged.
Some rounds on Wednesdays took over 4.5 hours. This is clearly too long and it appears that a single group is holding up groups behind them. Please be aware of your position on the course and your relative position with the group in front. If you lose contact then act and speed up your play. Read the ‘Ready Golf’ suggestions and apply them!
Otherwise you might be embarrassed if a match committee official asks you to speed up your play or penalises you.
Please continue to use the start and finish times on your score cards to help monitor the length of time your group is taking to complete a round.
Championships
Tomorrow sees the annual playing of the Men’s Foursomes. This event is held over 27 holes and a new champion team will emerge as the defending champions are unavailable to play. Good luck to all teams.
The Men’s Matchplay draws are also on display for both the individual and fourball events.
In the singles, defending champion, Tony Panecasio will play the winner of Don Thompson and Arthur Bosanquet in the first match in defence of his title.
Fourball champions, Peter Francis and Tony McRae, will play a very competitive Pete Munro and Ray Orr in their first match.
Levy Works
So far about $2500 has been raised for the restoration of pathways around the course. Work will soon commence on the pathway near the 18th tee where a high quality surface is required due to the constant erosion caused by flooding in this area. All money raised will be spent on course improvements and this will be on top of works completed by our green staff.
Thanks for your support.
