Course Update

Dear Members, With the sun now shining and the roads drying we can only hope the prolonged wet weather pattern has abated.  We are delighted that the course is now open and with enough sunlight and hopefully some wind, carts will be back soon too.

The decision to close the course is made after careful consultation between the Club's Captain and the Course Superintendent.  As a members club, we strive to keep you playing on the safest and best surface for as long as is possible.  

With all the rain and wet conditions it is good to know that our communication and closures are consistent with many courses in Sydney.  Some members would be aware that many other courses have also been closed.  A quick ring around to some of our contacts shows that while some of our closest courses like Avondale, Pymble, Strathfield and Oatlands have been closed, you might be surprised to learn that some of the courses closer to the windier ocean like Long Reef, Monash and Elanora have also been closed intermittently.  The big surprise for us was that while Bonnie Doon has stayed open, due to its sand base, they too have been closed to carts for the last few days.

Please be advised that the Turf Team have not been able to get the machinery on the course to mow so at present the rough is very high, however the bunkers are all in play. Whilst the course is open, we strongly recommend all players wear spiked soled golf shoes in preference to the moulded shoes, as it is still very wet and slippery in places.


PLEASE NOTE - VETERAN'S TROPHY 

With carts currently off, the Club Captain has postponed the Veteran's Trophy (65yrs+) to a future date when we can again accommodate carts on the course - WATCH THIS SPACE.

Hole in One - 14th Green

It was only last issue, on Friday, 28 June, we shared news about the grand opening of our 14th Green. We proudly announced that the first member to achieve a Hole in One on the 14th during a competition would be rewarded with a $500 top-up on their House Account. 

Without wasting any time, Member Steve Panetta stepped up the next day and potted the first Hole in One on this exciting new hole. 

Congratulations to Steve for hitting this remarkable milestone in golf and for winning $500!

Master Pennants

Week 7 - Sunday, 30 June - Semi Final:  
Having finished top of our Section of Division 3, it was time for the Semi Final. The four Section winners were Cumberland, Richmond, North Ryde and Campbelltown. We were drawn to play Richmond at Cumberland while Cumberland were drawn to play Campbelltown at Richmond. The 2 winners of the Semi Final are automatically promoted to Division 2 and will play off in the Final of Division 3. 

Due to the inclement weather we had been experiencing, both matches were fortunate to be played in very overcast conditions. This was a blessing for us because after being beaten in our 2 previous Semi Finals in 2022 and 2023 it was third time lucky. With the match being very tight throughout we were able to secure a 4.5 to 3.5 win result with the last 3 matches going all the way to the 18th.  At last, an opportunity to play in the Division 3 Final for the Flag. 

Unfortunately, the weather was not as kind to us the following week and all Finals were postponed by Golf NSW until Sunday, 28 July and will be played at Twin Creeks Golf Course.

I am sure that the Club and all its Members join me in wishing the Team all the very best for the Final. The Team for the Final will be selected from the following squad - Glenn Blundell, Brett Cummerford, Greg Howe, Brad Hyland, Greg Imber, John McKie, Chris Millard, Rob Righton, Greg Sheaves, Roy Shuttleworth, Ross Wilson and Glenn Woodley.

Women's Report

Pennants: Bronze II Pennants team had their final game of the season on Friday 28 June at Asquith. Castle Hill defeated North Ryde 3/2. It was a very close finish to the competition and very exciting as the final result was not clear until the last Muirfield putt. Both North Ryde and Muirfield had 9 match points, but Muirfield had 20 game points to North Ryde's 17.5. Muirfield won the Pennant and North Ryde were runners up. What a great achievement for our team who have played so well over the past six weeks.  The team on the final day was represented by (Left to right) Lynn Wells, Jane Youm, Anna Mun, Jenny Kim and Judy Ro. Other team members were Beryl Robinson, Linda Cordner. Congratulations and well done.

Bronze I: Bronze 1 played against Bankstown at Muirfield last Friday and defeated. . . . . .

ADF Reserves Event 

During a recent event at the Anzac Memorial Hyde Park in Sydney, Anthony Ryan, our General Manager, attended a special gathering in support of Accounts Officer Jenny Gillard. While some may be familiar with Jenny's work supporting the back office, others may not have had the opportunity to meet her in person, she dedicates several days a week to this role alongside her commitments as a parent, partner, daughter, and a member of the Army Reserves.

Anthony was present at a significant morning event Thursday, 4 July that honoured over 1.25 million individuals who have served in Australia's Defence Reserves, recognising the valuable contributions of ADF Reservists and the continued support from their civilian employers. The ceremony culminated in a remembrance service, unveiling a new section in the Shrine featuring soil from every postcode in NSW where soldiers enlisted to serve in WW1, including North Ryde.

Let's extend a warm welcome to Jenny, who has been a part of our team for a few months now. If you spot her in her North Ryde Uniform instead of her Army hat, see if you can recognise her.
