Women’s News Friday, 6 September
2024 Women’s Charity Day: Charity Day was a huge success, starting with the weather, the golf, but most of all it was so successful due to the generosity of you, the golfing women of North Ryde Golf Club, the men who willingly supported the raffle, the club itself and the community who gave prizes so thoughtfully. It was inspiring to hear James Gribbles, founder of Empower Golf, talk about what it has meant to him and his fellow impaired golfers to be supported and encouraged to participate in life through a love of the game of golf.
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH. TOGETHER WE RAISED $5,664 FOR EMPOWER GOLF

Women’s Sunday Handicap Pennants:
Game 1– Sunday, 25 August was the first round of a 5 round competition. Our team of six players won all 6 games against Bonnie Doon at Warringah. The team consisted of Fiona Montgomery, Philippa Ternes, Karen Psaltis, Angela Café, Judy Ro and Misuk Lee. What a great start and a fantastic result for the start for our team representing North Ryde in the Women’s Sunday Handicap Pennants.
Game 2 – Sunday Handicap Pennants event on Sunday, 1 September was held at Randwick. The team played Lakeside, unfortunately we lost 3 1/2 games to 2 1/2, a close match played in very windy and difficult conditions. The players were Fiona Montgomery, Angela Café, Karen Psaltis, Judy Ro, Karol Hwang and Misuk Lee.
Wishing our Team all the best for this Sunday’s match.
