Amateur Cup

Saturday, 13 January the Club hosted the North Ryde Amateur Cup. This year we had one of our largest fields of 130 players, with 90 from other clubs, it was fantastic to see so many playing in this annual event surpassing last year's field of 77.

After 18 holes of tight scores we had 2 players tied with rounds of 65. Isaak Pemble (from Cumberland) and Ryan Fletcher (from Lynwood). Unfortunately Isaak was unable to make it back for a playoff, ceding the competition to his deserving opponent Ryan Fletcher, congratulations Ryan and Isaak runner up.

In third place was James Vidler (from Muirfield) with 67c/b and nett winner was our own Member, Michael Hooper on 66 Net. 

Congratulations to all competitors on the day!

The North Ryde Amateur Bowl Members competition was also played on Saturday with congratulations to the overall winner, Chris Godfrey with 65.

Course Update

Welcome North Ryde Members to another quick update from the Turf Management team.

Over the week ended 14th January, the course received 157mm of rainfall which has topped up all the dams to 100%.

As you all would be aware, the 14th green reconstruction is starting to take shape and you will now be able to see the outlines of what is to be the green with bunkers slowly being shaped into the surrounds. Over the next week drainage with the appropriate root zone material will be added to the green.

Around the course, staff are being kept busy with the recent rainfall creating an increase in turf growth. We always aim to get all surfaces cut but sometimes due to time constraints / weather conditions, some out-of-play areas are reprioritised to another available time.

All greens were aerated on Tuesday, 16 January. This maintenance practice which is conducted on a monthly program plays an important role in maintaining turf health for the green surfaces. I understand at times this may be disruptive but please be reassured, this is an important cultural practice to ensure that we continue to produce a high standard of playing surface for all members and guests.

You may notice around the couch green surrounds, which are 1, chipping green, 4, 9, 17, 18, that we have begun conducting spot spraying applications. We are conducting these applications to help eradicate all kikuyu which has germinated in the surfaces. The kikuyu which is wanted in most parts of the golf course is not wanted in the couch grass so this is deemed a weed in these locations. The grass will be discoloured after a number of days but it will recover in a week or two.

Women's Report

Opening Day:   Tuesday 6 February is Opening Day. We will start the season off with a Stableford round. Please stay and join us after the game for cake and presentation of the Summer Cup.

Summer Cup Leaderboard:  The Summer Cup leaderboard can be accessed from the website. Login to your profile and select My Information then scroll down to the bottom of the screen where you will see Order of Merit.  There you will see a link to the Summer Cup. 

Competitions for 2024:   We have made the decision to move to 3 divisions for all Tuesday competitions. The reason for this is that the divisions had become very unbalanced with some divisions having very few players each week. By having three divisions we will have more equally balanced divisions with better prize money and hopefully more participants in each division competing in the Club Championships.

For Tuesday competitions, Club Championships and Major Events, the Daily Handicaps will be as follows:

  • Division 1                 0 - 25
  • Division 2               26 - 33
  • Division 3               34 - 45

For all other competitions (Thursday) the divisions to be split evenly depending on handicaps on the day.  Less than 50 players will be one division, over 50 players will be two divisions and over 90 players there will be three divisions.
