Master Pennants

Week 1 - Sunday, 19 May:  Our North Ryde Master Pennant Team commenced last week with a game against Bexley Golf Club at home.

This match was a very tough challenge from beginning to end. Experience tells us that the first game especially at home can have a major bearing on our aspirations to succeed. In a very tight contest we managed to win 5 -3, winning 4 matches with 3 going all the way to the 18th where we won 1 and halved 2. 

Week 2 - Sunday, 26 May:  Our second game was an away match against Bexley Golf Club again this time their home advantage. 

Following the tight contest we had against Bexley the previous week we knew this match was going to be a challenge, especially on their home course. After being 2 all after 15 holes we had 4 matches going into the 16th with 4 matches dormie - 2 up and 2 down. The tension was high for both sides as the players teed off on the 16th, a challenging uphill Par 3. Remarkably all 4 matches were settled on this hole with 2 wins and 2 losses resulting in the match tying at 4 all. This was a pleasing result away from home.

Week 3 - Sunday, 2 June:  This week we will be playing at home against Brighton Lakes who have had a win and loss from their 2 matches to date. Any support from Club Members is always welcome.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank our Sponsors -TyrePower, Palmers Glass and West Ryde Smash Repairs for their continued support, it is very much appreciated.

Steve Callaghan - Team Manager

Stan Sheather

In this our 75th Anniversary year, on Saturday, 1 June (Semi-Final) and Sunday, 2 June (Final), Members of the Club will compete for the Club's individual handicap match play event, the Stan Sheather Silver Bowl.  

While we eagerly wait to see who will be victorious and wish those playing - Archie Boyd (Junior golfer), John Yoo, Kelby Govender and Byron Kerr the best of luck and good golfing let's look at the history of this competition, who was Stan Sheather? What was his history with the Club and why was he so important to the Club's history?

North Ryde Golf Club was initially formed in 1937 and leased the land on the current site from a private company, which was partly owned by Sydney businessman, Les Merin.

North Ryde grew out of the demise of . . . . . . .


14th Green Opening

We can't wait to share this new addition with all of you. The team has been working tirelessly to ensure that the 14th green exceeds your expectations. Stay tuned for an email update on the opening and get ready to tee off on the new green soon!

Member's First Aid

Here at North Ryde Golf Club we place the health and welfare of our members above all else. Following many requests from members, Norm Spalding has agreed to conduct an additional CPR and emergency care course on a weekday Thursday, 20 June at 11am for Members who cannot join us for the course scheduled on Sunday, 23 June at 11am.

Both these courses will be run in the Gardenia Room in the Clubhouse. As an intensive care paramedic with 40 years experience Norm tells us that the survival of many patients is determined by the actions of bystanders in the few minutes before Paramedics arrive.

You will be trained and practiced in a simple approach that will give you confidence to step up if required.

If you are unsure whether to join in, ask yourself this question. If one of your group suffered a cardiac arrest on the 9th tee near the defibrillator would you be able under pressure, confidently and competently use that life saving device? If the answer is NO you should join us at one of these sessions where you will be trained to use a defibrillator. The training will also cover a simple approach to handling all emergencies either on the course or in your home.

To reserve your place you must register at the Club Office via email prior to COB on Monday, 10 June.

Welcome - Kylie 

You will have seen Kylie Lindeman at reception and buzzing around the Club now for 10 weeks, so although long overdue we are pleased to officially introduce and welcome Kylie to our office team.

Local, Local, Local within walking distance of the Club Kylie is the ultimate hostess seeming to know every second person that comes through the doors (maybe a slight exaggeration) and quickly getting to know and greet our Members with a wonderful smile.

As a social Member with us for over 15 years Kylie is one of many who has enjoyed Friday Night Meat Raffles and once again showed her skills winning a tray last week.

Kylie brings lots of enthusiasm and energy to the office some of which she also reserves for her favourite hobbies like fishing (yes, she is an impressive angler and has photos to prove it), soaking up the sun in the great outdoors or if too cold will happily soak up the heat from a fire indoors while sipping on a good wine.

While maybe not a hobby but a passion there is of course a large boisterous family that includes a gorgeous grandchild. Kylie with the family also gets to indulge another passion of cooking and entertaining extending this to time with friends.

Say hi to Kylie next time you are walking by reception.
