NOTES

• There are many articles on Trove from 1937 about Paul Falk's arrival in Australia and his golf history in Germany and England.
• The names of Paul's children are mentioned in the Death Notice (SMH 29/4/1980) but, for privacy reasons, I have omitted them from this biography. Both their births can be found in family notices on Trove (1940s) for anyone wishing to update their profiles.
