Good luck to the Jamberoo White Horse Cup team
The Jamberoo White Horse Cup team, aka the Jedi Cowpats, are off to Moss Vale this Sunday to contest the final of the White Horse Cup. The team is set to play Gibraltar Golf Club, a team full of big-hitting low markers.
It will be a stern test for our team but they do have the ‘Force’ on their side.
Col Booth, the captain of the team, has asked if any Jamberoo members would like to come up to Moss Vale and act as caddies. If you can you will be most welcomed (and included somewhere in the match report).
Hit-off is at 10 am.
Big News Announcement
It has been confirmed this week that Oaks Automotive will sponsor the Jamberoo Open Ambrose Championship.
The event will be held on Saturday June 29 and the format will be a 4 person elimination Ambrose.
- All team members tee off each hole
- Team chooses the shot they are going to use
- The golfer whose shot is taken is eliminated from participating in the next shot
- A player is only eliminated for the one shot following his/her selected shot
- This process continues up until the ball is on the putting green, and then all four players have the opportunity to sink the putt.
- All four players tee off the next hole and the elimination process begins again, until ball is placed on the putting green
- Each team member’s tee shot must be used at least three (3) times per round
- The eliminated player cannot take a practice shot during the time they are eliminated.
Cost of entry to the event will be $80 per team ($20 each player) and it will be open to all players from Jamberoo Golf Club and those from any Golf Illawarra club.
There will be a $400 per team first prize for best nett and $400 per team for the best gross score. Second to fifth best nett teams will also win a prize. A monster drive will be awarded in three grades as well as nearest the pins and a super shot.
In total $2000 of prizes will be awarded.

Members Ball Credits and Trophy Accounts
We are still waiting for the old balances for both ball and trophy accounts to be entered into the new golf management software by the company who installed it. All prizes awarded from March 12 are there and available for your use. The office has records of your old account balances and you can access them during office hours.
The Board of Directors has also requested that all members use their ball credits before the end of this financial year. Failure to do so will result in them reverting to the club as per the 2019 conditions of play [see page three of the programme booklet].
