Blue Mountains and Sydney West
The Territory
Sydney West and Blue Mountains runs from Lynwood and Riverside Oaks in the Hawkesbury, through the Nepean district and down to Campbelltown and Antill Park in the South, and up to Katoomba in the Blue Mountains. It’s home to a variety of different styles of golf course, from the picturesque Wentworth Falls to the championship layout of Twin Creeks. The best golfers from the Western Sydney region have the opportunity to be a part of the Western Sydney Academy of Sport, which in 2013 won the Regional Academy Games for Golf.
The Manager - Ross Abbott
Ross has a love of teaching and sport. He began work with JNJG in 2010 by developing a schools program and has been implementing this program ever since. Before that Ross was in primary education for over 28 years. He was a principal for 11 of those years. He developed the NSW Primary School Sports Association (PSSA) Exemplar sports programs. Ross was the NSW PSSA Vice-President for six years. He initiated the NSW PSSA Golf Championships, the NSW/Victoria golf exchange and was instrumental in primary golf being recognized as an Australian Sports Council sport. Ross was also awarded life membership of the Sydney West and NSW PSS Associations.
After playing soccer at the top level (playing 1st grade in the state league at 17) Ross continued to play until the age of 29 when injuries caught up with him and he began to play golf socially. Ross loves the game, although it has not always loved him back but he continues to play as often as he can.
Ross has been a member of Leonay and Glenmore Heritage Valley Golf Clubs but is now a member of Twin Creeks Golf Club. Ross is filling in role of Territory Manager for the Blue Mountains and Sydney West area on top of his role as the JNJG Schools Coordinator.
