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.

As always, the event promises a great day of golf, fun, and fundraising – with all proceeds going to Chris O’Brien Lifehouse a hospital that is solely dedicated to treating and researching cancer.
We would be incredibly grateful for any donations you can offer to support the day. This could include vouchers, wine, or other items suitable for prizes or raffles.

Dear Members,
It is with great sadness we advise the passing of Mrs Joy Gallop on Tuesday 1 April.
Joy joined Woollahra Golf Club in 2009 and resigned in 2020.  She enjoyed her time with the Woollahra ladies.
Joy loved her golf and had a passion for sharing her stories with the ladies when she was a member of Royal Canberra GC.  She was one of many ladies to lose her cart in the canal.  She rang her son and in no uncertain terms, told him to come down to the golf club to retrieve it for her.
She helped many new players in the etiquette of golf.
She will be very much missed by her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and many friends. 
Joy’s funeral will be held on Thursday, 10 April in St Jude’s Anglican Church, 106 Avoca Street, Randwick at 10am.
