The Prosper Ellis Salver:-
Prosper Ellis was Bowral Golf Club's first Honorary Life Member.
He and his wife lived at Winterslee, Burradoo. The Prosper Ellis Plate is played for at Bowral Golf Club every year. Ellis died in Bowral on 29 July 1980, and his wife in 1967.
Prosper Ellis was known as a remodeller of existing golf courses, but his status as a leading amateur golfer led to major design commissions. His design work included remodelling The Australian Golf Club, Bonnie Doon Golf Club, Pymble Golf Club, Killara Golf Club, Castle Hill Golf Club, North Ryde Golf Club, Liverpool Golf Club, Avondale Golf Club, Blackheath Golf Club, Deniliquin Golf Club, Chatswood Golf Club, Tamworth Golf Club, Merewether Golf Club and Kogarah Golf Club. In the 1960s he redesigned the Coolamon Golf Club, introducing new water and substantial planting. His major design commissions include Federal Golf Club (1946), Belmont Golf Club (1952), Windsor Golf Club (1963), Woollahra Golf Club (1960)[and Camden Valley Golf Resort (1964).Other designs are Muswellbrook Golf Club's extension by 12 holes (1964), Toronto Golf Links between 1968 and 1982, Nelson Bay Golf & Country Club's second 9 holes (1970) and Mittagong-Highlands Golf Club (1972).

This is the last WW for the year ..... but Jane will be back next year with more WINNERS!!
I would like to thank Jane so much for her HUGE contribution to the Blog every fortnight. Jane has never missed a beat and has been so wonderful giving us all a reason to go shopping!
WW always arrives in my Inbox on time, with photos of products sent via SMS. It's always such a joy to receive them, and I am sure most of you just go straight to the WW part of the Blog, as it is always full of interesting goodies to buy.
THANK YOU JANE, YOU ARE A TRUE LEGEND AND A TERRIFIC MEMBER OF BGC.
- STORM IN A D CUP - Not all of us can just walk in a buy bras off the rack so don’t despair as this speciality shop is amazing. The staff are extremely experienced and once you get fitted properly you can order on line. I suggest you look at their website first; then make a day of it as it is well worth it. They also sell great swimwear. Nothing ‘nanny’ about this shop! 155 Edgecliff Rd Woollahra. Https://www.storminadcup.com.au
- ROCKY ROAD - What a great book, and what a good idea for a Chrissie present. Robert Wainwright’s ‘Rocky Road’ is all about the Darrell Lea dynasty and is fascinating reading. Combine it with a box of Darrell Lea Rocky Road (available from pharmacy’s (and I think Big W) and you have a great present. Also good reading is his ‘Enid’ which is about the Lindeman dynasty so a bottle of their wine would work well. Sheila is another one he wrote about and it is all about Sheila Chisholm, daughter of racehorse breeder, Harry Chisholm of Goulburn Plains. Not sure what to include with that……the mind boggles!
- ALDI – I just can’t finish the Winners for the year without an Aldi ‘must’. The Mocha, Coffee Syrup & Cookie Crumb mini ice creams are compulsory buying, and are to die for, so stock up as they may not be a regular item. The peppermint is good but the mocha is sensational.
Happy holiday and Happy Christmas albeit a bit soon. See you next year.
