I have a little on Prosper Ellis.
Background
Prosper Ellis was born on 14th August 1895 and trained as a surveyor. Upon his retirement, he turned to club administration being Secretary, at different times of Pymble Golf Club and Bonnie Doon Golf Club. He was instrumental in arranging the amalgamation of the Metropolitan Golf Club at Pagewood with the Bonnie Doon Golf Club in 1950.

Although mainly a ‘remodeller’ of existing courses, his status as a leading amateur golfer certainly led to design commissions.
Remodels include The Australian, Bonnie Doon, Pymble, Killara, Castle Hill, North Ryde, Liverpool, Avondale, Blackheath, Deniliquin, Chatswood, Belmont, Tamworth, Merewether, Kogarah, Woollahra, Coolamon, Federal.
