The Halford Hewitt has been described by the golf writer Nick Tremayne as “the greatest of all truly amateur tournament”. Founded in 1924 it is competed for today by the old boys of 64 English and Scottish public schools which each field five foursomes pairs, making 640 competitors in all. The sheer size of the field – plus the hundreds of supporters who routinely turn up – is part of what makes the Hewitt a unique sporting event. The tournament has a rich history, frequently pits average golfers against famous internationals, and produces moments of golfing pressure simply not experienced by amateur players elsewhere.
Our captain, Marcus Ferguson-Jones has just announced our team for 2015. It is: Adam Kendrick, Charlie Craddock, Craig Moore, Giles Pickford, James Boyle, John Davies, Marc Sadler, Marcus Ferguson Jones, Tom Cary, Tony Whitty and Will Porter.
