The 2023 Jamberoo Open Ambrose, sponsored by Oaks Automotive, attracted the largest field of the year. Perfect weather greeted the 136 starters and the scoring was sensational.

And then the Wollongong team of Phillipson, Phillipson, Bond and Kessell, playing in the last group, opening their round on fire, including an eagle on the 5th, were 7 under after 7 holes. They followed this through with another eagle on 12 and finished on 10 under par with 57 to claim the gross trophy and the accolades.
The nett section was equally well contested with the team of Crockford, Crockford, Crockford and Levi shooting a sensational 59 off the stick for a nett score of 47.5. This was good enough to claim the nett prizemoney by a whooping 4.25 shots.
