In order of Wedge caps: Michael Hedges – Oh Captain Oh Captain. Deals unconventional captain leads through the unique use of defeatist rhetoric and modest humility. His method only works due to the gravitas of the Hedges golfing dynasty and a dehydratingly dry satirical approach. Easily the most decorated player from either team and on…
The results are in, they have been counted and recounted. Blood tests and urine samples have been returned and (aside from various STDs) they were clean as a whistle. There is nowhere to hide, no more excuses to make, Deal’s dandies have administered a thorough spanking to the Walton weaklings, right in their own back…
The greatest dichotomy in Wedge history was on 24th March 2012. A Walton Wedger remembers a day of jubilation and dominance as the forth wedge on the trot was won in embarrassingly convincing fashion on Deal soil (/sand). For a Deals ‘not so’ Dandies it was a dark day indeed, having been close in early…
For the very amateur golfer, it does not get much bigger than Wedge week – especially when it is your home leg. The team has been selected, the pairings been analysed, the course order been picked and even the weather looks like it may behave itself – all in all, confidence is feeling pretty high…

The 8th Wedge Trophy at Royal Cinque Ports Golf Club – 29th March 2014 Post Wedge Mondays are a complicated and confusing beast. On the one hand there are the inevitable negatives; a faint but noticeable second day hangover, a wallet full of receipts rather than notes, a few claret fuelled stories to regret, and…
With just over a month to go – the draw for the 2014 Wedge Trophy at Deal was made by the Captains and Vice Captains at the famous Silka Curry Restaurant in Borough Market last night. This year a seeding system was implemented to try and get as many matches as possible, flat. A very…
Four Walton wins, were followed by a controversial halved match, and then, a somewhat litigious abandonment of the 6th Wedge Trophy! So it was of great relief when a full contingent of Wedgers gathered on a sunny Walton Heath GC patio, ready to demand satisfaction in a battle for the 7th Wedge Trophy. The Deal…
Out of the rough that covers me, hacking through trees hole after hole. I curse whatever golfing gods may be For my all too easily conquered soul. In the fell clutch of an awkward stance, I have time and again shanked and yelled “Fore” out loud. But after a liquid lunch I’m square on 18,…
