Course update and local rules.

Course cleanup.

Larry Kent, Club Captain

The next volunteer day is tomorrow Friday 19th & all focus will be on back 9 on this day. Possibly some on front 9 as-well if time permits. A massive thanks from Nick & the board.

Still only 9 holes with preferred lies through the green. Relief maybe taken from damaged sections of greens no nearer the hole, if your ball lies on that section or if it interferes with your line of your putt [only if your ball is on the green].

Any debris that is stock piled for removal is GUR.

Local rule: all the car park & area behind the 4th green including practice putting green is OB.

Any member requiring some river rocks can pick them up along the 12th fairway. A trailer will be necessary.

Member Donations

It is great that members are donating back to the club to help out. 

Please also note the largest cost of the clean-up may well be replacing the 2 flooded control panels in the pump shed on the 17th. They have been inspected today and need replacing, now awaiting a quote.

The April volunteer working bee is planned to be held this Friday where we will work on the back nine. Please meet at the clubhouse at 8 am.

Those who have played in the last few days can see the mountain of work needed to rehabilitate the course back into its former glory.

We look forward to seeing you on Friday and appreciate your help.

Toilet near the 12th tee out of action.

The floods have affected the pumping station and consequently the water supply to the toilet near the 12th tee has caused the toilet to be temporarily out of order.

Please use the toilets at the clubhouse in the meantime.

Missing seats have been located (corrections).

The missing seat that once stood near the 15th tee has been found.

Thanks to Bernie who recovered the seat at the little bridge across the Minnamurra River on the McGlinchey Farm on Swamp Road.

The chair that belongs to the 11th tee is now located in the drain behind the 7th!

The chair that stood beside the 3rd tee has returned to its home after a ‘little walk about’ down the fairway in the flood.

Our access to the OUR GOLF app ended yeaterday. If you can’t wait to check your trophy account balance then please contact the Office.

Col Booth on volunteering.

“I think the Old Windmill on the 8th Hole should be our de facto rain gauge as well as the Patron Saint of Volunteers (viz. St Vincent de Paul, the Patron Saint of Volunteers) given the amount of grass wrapped around it to indicate the height of the water but more importantly symbolising our gallant volunteers who come unsung, unnamed to clean up. 

The silent bugle echoes throughout the Jamberoo Valley and Golfers and non-Golfers appear at the course to help and The Old Windmill, which has withstood the torrent of water and debris the storm threw at it, remains a symbol of defiance, not yielding against the odds but not reckoning the strength of the Jamberoo Spirit of Defiance and Volunteering.”
