Details are that it will be a Shot Gun start at 8am and upon conclusion of the round, members will meet in the Half Way Bar for an approximate 12.30pm start of the AGM.  We would like to see as many members as possible attending this special AGM celebrating a quarter of a century for North Ryde Golf Club's Veterans.  Come along and celebrate this wonderful occasion.  

Notwithstanding, it is also your opportunity to speak up should you have any complaints or suggestions as to how the Vets is conducted.  It is the Committee's commitment to provide members with an enjoyable round of golf each and every time you play.  Your input will assist us in achieving this goal.

After the meeting members will return to the Half Way Bar where the Club would like to acknowledge the 25-year milestone with a FREE BBQ Sausage Sizzle and drinks voucher for all Vet Members attending. Could members not expecting to attend after golf, please let Yaros know for catering purposes.

With regard to the election required for the 2023-24 Committee, all current Committee Members are standing once again except for Alex Bathgate.  Alex has given 17 consecutive years to the Vets and has decided to retire from the Committee, he will be sorely missed.  His contribution to the smooth running of the Vets has been massive.  As a result, we will be seeking nominations for his replacement.  Should anyone be interested in nominating for any position on the Committee, please advise a member of the Committee accordingly.  The position of the new member of the Committee will be as a support to the other elected Members. 

Nomination forms are available from the Committee or the Club office. Nominations are open and completed forms must be delivered to, and acknowledged by, the General Manager before 5.00pm on Sunday, 21 May 2023.  Late Nominations cannot be accepted.

The Foursomes Knockout: The Foursomes Knockout is a match play event in teams of two played on a Thursday using 1/2 combined daily handicap. A qualifying round will be played on Thursday 18 May.  The 16 teams with the lowest nett score will qualify to play in the knockout commencing the following Thursday. The event runs over 4 weeks.

Players who wish to play in the Foursomes Knockout must indicate to the Pro Shop.

Those that qualify will pay an Entry fee of $10.00 per player and this must be paid before the first round. Please place this in an envelope in the slot in the locker room.

• Each player of the team will have alternate tee shots, reversing the teeing order the following week.  The tee shots must be recorded on the card.
• In the event of a withdrawal of a player after the draw is done, a player may be replaced before the first round only.
• After the first round, players who are drawn to play in the match play rounds and who do not appear on the first tee, unless very exceptional circumstances exist, will be suspended from competition golf for three weeks.

As technology marches on, the scanners are proving problematic and accordingly the one remaining scanner which was sometimes working was removed last week.  Members wishing to use a manual card will need to enter their scores manually at the kiosk at the end of their round.
