Week 3 Pennant Reports

This week we only had 2 of our 4 teams playing.

Here are the team captain’s reports

C Pennant Report – round 3 – 18/2/18

Jamberoo 3 vs Port Kembla 2

“Sharks nearly fish and chips”

Today’s match was our 2^nd home game against a determined Port team. We expected a tough encounter as Port are usually the benchmark in our division and they certainly pushed us to the limit today.

Boyd Sylvester led us out and was soon in the lead being 3 up after 4. Keeping his resolve Boyd came away with an early win 5/4.

A few holes back it was becoming apparent that our guns in Tom Zimmermann and Tim Young had real problems and were well behind, eventually going down 5/4 and 6/5. This was not going to plan as we were now down 2-1 @ home!!

Wayne Griffiths was playing Herb Bell (husband of our member Lisa), where the match changed leads a few times until they headed down the 18^th all square. Wayne’s knowledge of the tricky pin placement got him home 1 up in a great match.

So, 2-2 with Andrew Ball 2 up with 3 to go, looking good!!!  I think one of the gallery called it too early and then all of a sudden it’s all square going down 18!! Of course, cool calm Andrew held on and we escaped with a well earned 3-2 win.

Tim Young was pleased to have a perfect record as captain and handled the responsibilities with ease.

Jamberoo also hosted 2 divisions of the White Horse Cup today and it can be said that the clubs volunteers did us proud. Special thanks to Shane and Pam Townsend for the mouth watering pulled pork rolls.

B Pennant Report – round 3 – 18/2/18

Jamberoo B Pennants travelled up to Moss Vale to face The Heads. The final putt of the day decided the outcome with The Heads winning 3-2.

Pat Paris led off in his customary position however his 6 handicap opponent proved too good on the day with a 4/3 result.

John Paul also played a lower handicap play and fought out a strongly contested half. His Shoalhaven opponent birdieing the last for the square.

Scott Hainsworth came up against a young gun whose allround game was spot on. Going down 6/5.

TP showed that Saturday form counts for nothing with a confident display off the tee to beat his opponent 5/4. Will definitely keep the Cobra driver.

So it came down to the no 1’s. Jarrod Gerhmann’s last putt finished agonisingly close which would have tied the overall match.

Instead his half meant 3-2 down.

So the group is now tight with all top four teams registering a loss.

Next week is the clash vs The Links.  This could very well decide who makes semis.

Both White Horse Cup teams are back on the field next weekend in critical matches.
