News from the Course 20th July

Loretta and Phil Green victorious

Congratulations to Loretta and Phil Green who have won the Golf Illawarra playoff in the Keno Mixed fourball championship. Playing on a cold and windy day at the Highlands golf club with slick greens and running fairways, Loretta and Phil have scored a very good score of 43 points to defeat all other teams from Golf Illawarra clubs and have won their way through to the state playoffs to be played at Bonville Golf resort later in the year. This is an all-expenses paid week of golf and is a highly sort after prize. Congratulations Loretta and Phil. Our other pairs Lance and Robyn and Tom and Di also performed credibly each scoring 39 points which gave them top 12 finishes. Congratulations to all our representatives.

Another junior makes his mark

Just as the members get a little respite from young  Nathan then his friend Jaimie Killmore steps up to the plate scoring 45 points on the weekend and pairing with Peter Hughes to win the fourball with 50 points on a countback from the Turners.  Our junior stocks are certainly looking good with these two.

New Single Match Play Competition

A new championship tournament is to be held at Jamberoo golf Club. This will take the format of match play played off the stick without the benefit of handicap. The winner of A division will be awarded the Captain’s Trophy at presentation night while the B division players will play for the Vice-Captains Shield. Look out for the registration form if you are interested.

Jamberoo Open 27th of July

A strong field is assembling for the 2014 Jamberoo Open with 81 players registered at the moment. Among the registrations are five players off a plus handicap, present and past Jamberoo club champions and Open winners and Golf Illawarra dignitaries. Part of the entry for this year’s Open has been allocated for a $3 supershot at the 7th so everybody has the chance to take out the big prize on offer. A BBQ will be held on the day for those interested in a well cooked meal.

Jamberoo Golf Club would like to thank our major sponsor Drummond Golf at Warrawong for their support of our tournament as well as Fredericks IGA for its sponsorship of the nearest the pins. Contact Starter for latest tee time info.

  1. I recently had the good fortune of playing a round of golf with Jaimie when he scored his 45 points.
    Well done mate, your etiquette and your attitude to the game of golf is a credit to you.
    This score was in very windy conditions and you showed your composure even when you had a miss on the 4th and 18th hole…so image the score ….(if only).
    Well done and keep up the good work.
    Ron Hewson.
