JAMBEROO Ladies Golf Breast Cancer Day 2011 was held 12th July with 80 women playing to raise funds for breast cancer research.
Ladies from Kiama, The Grange, Bowral, Shoalhaven Heads, The Links Shellharbour and Glenmore Heritage Valley Golf Club played a 4BBB Stableford.
We were blessed to have a lovely sunny day after the windy weather. Everyone wore pink, and John Keeling our starter decorated the carts and posts with pink ribbons.
There were pink ribbons to buy to get out of trouble, and numerous prizes for the raffle.
John Duncan and greens staff decorated the course with a pink straight line on the 6th and John drew pink ribbons and pink ladies on the approaches to the 1st, 8th and 16th greens. A couple of years ago we purchased a set of pink flags, they were also placed on each hole.
The Presentation followed lunch in the Jamberoo Bowling Club. All the trophies and raffle prizes were donated by the women, and the new restaurant manager of the Bowling Club donated a voucher for the raffle. A few of our ladies were unable to attend and they generously donated money and prizes for the day.
The days event raised $1334 to go directly to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
Betty Chittick said the event was initially organised five years ago to help raise awareness about breast cancer.
She estimated Jamberoo lady golfers have raised around $10,000 for the foundation since it began.

A fantastic day–a great way to raise funds. The course and gardens looked great. Thanks to the green staff and the volunteers gardners.
