For the second year running, local golfer Narelle Kriz has been nominated for the NSW Golf Industry Awards.

Golf NSW, alongside Jack Newton Junior Golf (JNJG), the NSW Golf Course Superintendents Association, Golf Management Australia – NSW, and the PGA of Australia – NSW/ACT Division, is set to celebrate the outstanding contributions of their best individuals and affiliated members involved in the sport over the past 12 months at the 2024 NSW Golf Industry Awards.

The prestigious event will be held at The Crown Sydney, at Barangaroo, next month.

The evening will honour the achievements of the best players, clubs, volunteers, and industry leaders who have worked tirelessly to elevate the game of golf in New South Wales.

With an array of outstanding individuals across all facets of the sport, this year’s golf industry awards will spotlight our rising stars and industry veterans.

Kriz is the Cobar Ladies Golf president and is one of five nominees for the 2024 Golf NSW Volunteer of the Year award.

The award honours individuals who have given countless hours of service to their clubs and communities, often behind the scenes.

Kriz was also nominated for this award last year with Jim Byrnes, a stalwart of the St Michael’s Golf Club, named the winner.
