Polly was a valued member of Chamberlain Park Ladies Golf Club from 2000 - 2007. Her passion for golf was passed onto the ladies with guidance & mentoring, particularly for the Pennant team. Polly loved competition and always shared her tactics, especially LGU and club competitions.
We were proud to have Polly as our club member when she won the NZ Women's Veterans Challenge Trophy 2002 & 2003 and the Auckland District Champion of Champions, Silver nett winner in 2003. Polly's course record of 75 gross still stands today. Her photo & records sit atop of our Honours Board.
The value of being a golfer and camaraderie shared in our club house will always be treasured in memory of Polly. RIP

Our sympathy to the family. Polly was such a valuable member of our golf club. She shared her golfing knowledge with many new players along with the more experienced. She will be sadly missed by us all.

My sincere condolences to all the family. Polly had an amazing golf career and had no problem sharing her tips freely with anyone that needed her help. She would jot down on paper crucial notes that still circulate to this day. Her trendy "crocks" and matching attire along with her infectious laugh will be forever remembered. Farewell Polly
