The Wedge Trophy was founded in 2010 by two great friends over a few gin and tonics whilst summering in Spain. Charlie Waud from Walton Heath Golf Club and Michael Hedges from Royal Cinque Ports Golf Club.
For those of you that are interested, the name of the trophy came from a clever and funny combination of Waud and Hedges – along with adding the golf theme, The Wedge Trophy seemed a more than appropriate name for a trophy which now has a cult following at the two clubs.
The Wedge Trophy is played twice a year – once hosted at Walton Heath and once hosted at Deal by invitation only.
The golf is an extremely competitive affair. The obligatory dinner and post golf activities has seen The Wedgers head to famous UK nightclubbing hotspots of Infernos, Clapham, JJ Whispers in Reigate and more recently Ocean Rooms in Deal.
