House Levy Integration Issues

Members are advised that the house levy recently paid as part of your membership subscription has encountered some integration issues with our point-of-sale (POS) system.
We are currently working with our supplier to resolve the issue and expect it to be fully operational in August.
We apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.  As soon as the house levy is active and ready for use, we will notify all members.

Senior Championship

The Senior Championship, played over two consecutive medal rounds, delivered a tightly contested battle in the handicap section — but in the gross event, it was a one-man show.
Patrick Garvan set the pace early with an opening round of 82 gross on a brisk winter day. With soggy conditions making the course tough and scoring difficult, his closest challengers, Tony Laumberg and Chris Maxwell, posted rounds of 87 and 88 respectively.
It was in the final round that Patrick truly pulled away from the field, carding an impressive 75 gross. Tony and Chris could only manage 86 and 85 in reply, leaving Patrick with a commanding 16-shot victory. This marks Patrick’s fourth Senior Championship title — and his third in a row.
The handicap event, by contrast, was far more competitive. Irving Selby led after round one with a tidy nett 70, closely followed by Ken Monkhouse, Chris Maxwell, and Lindsay Hourn,

Hole 9/18 Red Staked Area

The native vegetation area on the left-hand side of Hole 9/18 has been sprayed in preparation for the upcoming redesign of the hole, scheduled to commence at the end of September.
This area and the right hand side vegetation have been marked with red stakes. If your ball enters these areas from your tee shot, you may take relief with a one-shot penalty or play the ball as it lies if you find it without penalty.
Back-on-the-Line Relief (Rule 17.1d(2))

Go back on a straight line from the hole through the point where the ball last crossed the edge of the penalty area.
Drop anywhere on that line (going as far back as you like), and drop within one club-length of that spot.

Lateral Relief (Rule 17.1d(3)) – Only for Red Penalty Areas

Drop a ball within two club-lengths of where the ball last crossed the edge of the red penalty area.
The ball must not be

Warren & Gibson Shield

Our Warren and Gibson teams kicked off their 2025 season on Sunday with their first match played away at Lynwood Golf and Country Club. The conditions were challenging, with strong wind gusts between 20–35 km/h making scoring difficult on the long and demanding course.
In the Warren team match, the first group of Tim Crowe and Tim Carr secured a tight 1-up win, while the second group of Garry Pepper and Nic Lagesse narrowly went down 1-down. That left Kahn Nathan and Dean Kolthek in the final group to battle it out for a result. In a hard-fought contest, they managed to hold on for a crucial half, resulting in an overall squared match against the home side.
The Gibson team wasn’t able to get on the scoreboard this week, with all three matches resulting in close losses: 4/3, 4/2, and 2/1. Despite the score lines, each match was tightly contested.

Vale – Ron Pollak

It is with great sadness that Woollahra Golf Club acknowledges the passing of Ron Pollak on Saturday, following a long and courageous battle with cancer.

Ron was a valued and much-loved member of Woollahra Golf Club since 2 November 2017. Over his seven years with the Club, Ron became a familiar and friendly presence, known for his warm spirit, good humour, and deep passion for the game of golf. His camaraderie and sportsmanship left a lasting impression on all who had the pleasure of playing alongside him.

On behalf of the Club, we extend our heartfelt condolences to Ron’s family, friends, and loved ones during this difficult time. He will be fondly remembered and sadly missed by all members of our community.

May he rest in peace.
