Clearly the work of our staff and volunteers is having a profound affect on the condition of the course.
On Tuesday and Wednesday many volunteers helped clean up the fairways. As well as the many members listed below I noticed quite a few more out there who didn’t put their names down in the volunteers book and the club wishes to thank them as well.

Thanks to two of our new members Peter Wilson, and Brian Cox for coming along and getting involved.
All of your efforts are most appreciated. It makes me proud to be a member of Jamberoo Golf Club.
Some parts are still very wet of course and quite a bit of debris is piled under trees. There is much still to do but a great start has been made.
Our greenstaff have been working to prepare the course for possible play on the weekend. Lets hope it is possible.
More news about this tomorrow.
Thanks also to those members who have donated to the club from their trophy accounts into the flood fund. This money will be put to good use in assisting the repairs to the pathways and bridge approaches and the removal of the tonnes of debris.
An important Concern – Heart Issues.
Information supplied by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare
Recently there have been a few instances of members suffering from heart complaints both on the course and at home and it is worthwhile to remind our members of the symptoms.
Coronary heart disease (CHD) occurs when there is a narrowing or blockage in the blood vessels that supply blood to the heart muscle. There are 2 major clinical forms – heart attack (also known as acute myocardial infarction) and angina. CHD is largely preventable, as many of its risk factors are modifiable.
A heart attack is a medical emergency and is a blockage of blood flow to the heart muscle. A heart attack usually occurs when a blood clot blocks blood flow to the heart. Without blood, tissue loses oxygen and dies.
Symptoms include tightness or pain in the chest, neck, back or arms, as well as fatigue, lightheadedness, abnormal heartbeat and anxiety. Women are more likely to have atypical symptoms than men.
Treatment ranges from lifestyle changes and cardiac rehabilitation to medication, stents and bypass surgery.
Symptoms of a heart attack can appear a month or more in advance. Chest pain, sleep problems, and unusual fatigue are among the most commonly reported warning signs.
If you should notice any symptoms then please visit your doctor and seek medical assistance.
