Jennifer Lyons- A. W. Relph was my Great Grandfather. He was a very well known businessman as well as a keen sportsman. He was also instrumental in the establishment of the Manly Surf Life Saving Club. He had three children, Arthur, Hypathia and John (Jack) who was also a member of the Portsea golf club.

Re:
P. 47.Ray Mentiplay, Bob Grant. Ray was a baker at Rosebud, as his brother was at Rye. The first member of the Mentiplay family to set foot in Rosebud did so in 1867, near The Rosebud, as a survivor of the Prize Fight disaster. In 1962, Ray became president of the Rosebud Park club, succeeding Bob Grant who had led the transition to the country club. Ray became the founding president of the Country Club when it came into existence at the annual meeting in November that year, but he never got to see the new course. He died on 30 December 1962.

itellya on 2019-12-18 03:26:31Re this passage on page 23.
The discovery of the death of James Scott, a Sorrento resident for many years, in 1907 (in a par after the one about the Sorrento-Portsea links), led to another discovery, an amusing tale about J.D.A.Scott, the Sorrento Golf Club architect and professional, who was in demand in either capacity from clubs as far afield as Sale and Colac, but disappointed the Sorrento members who were champions in business affairs but chumps on the course.
I posted the following on the HISTORY OF DROMANA TO PORTSEA Facebook page.
GREAT SCOTT!
The Scott family of Sorrento does not seem to have been mentioned much but a par after the article about the Sorrento-Portsea Links (3rd link) reported the death of James Scott, a long-time Sorrento resident. I wonder if he was related to J.D.Scott the Sorrento Golf Club architect (and Professional) whose services in either capacity seemed to have been in demand at places as far afield as Sale and Colac.
And drew this response from Andrew Scott who would appear to be a descendant of one or the other.
Andrew Scott
They are not related but met on the ship coming to Australia
