The Halford Hewitt

The Halford Hewitt has been described by the golf writer Nick Tremayne as ‘the greatest of all truly amateur tournaments’.

The Peter Kenyon Bowl: a handicap foursomes stableford competition open all members of an appropriate Old Boys Golf Society.

The Prince's Plate: a scratch foursomes knockout for first round losers in the main competition.

In addition to the main event, the Peter Kenyon bowl has traditionally been held as a consolation competition that welcomes both competitors and spectators.

More recently, in 2001, a knockout plate competition was introduced with the same format as the Hewitt, featuring teams composed of three pairs of golfers.
