As is tradition with the Royal Cinque Ports leg of the Wedge Trophy, Waud undertakes a match by match guide for our cult following for the morning games. Only the very best and most traditional clubs in the UK insist on a course being strictly 2 ball (unless you are a member of a Club…
Michael Hedges (P10-W3-H1-L6) – “motivational”…”inspirational”…”father figure”…”messiah”… somewhat surprisingly all words that have yet to be used to describe Deal’s dashingly handsome Capitano. Hedges however likes to focus on the positives and points to the fact that he has been one of the most consistent match-managers the club has ever seen, the only blip in his…
