It is very easy to be biased, as home captain, to suggest that this probably was the best Wedge so far. A great throng of men assembled in the Clubhouse at Walton Heath for our 5th Wedge Trophy. Faces old and new gleaming with excitement for a match where both teams were definitely fielding their…
hat is a hardest test for a Wedger? Is it playing the most imperious seaside course at Royal Cinque Ports, with its beautiful sea wall tees, perfectly cut undulating fairways, superbly manicured pot bunkers that surround firm, hard, slick greens all year round.
