Royal Liverpool is the oldest of all the English seaside Clubs with the exception of Westward Ho! in Devon, which was established just a few years earlier. Despite its at first glance flat and benign appearance, Hoylake makes the trickiest demands of a player’s shot selection, distance control and accuracy. This year, the Club’s 150th anniversary, the Walker Cup returns to Hoylake having made its last appearance in 1983. The Match will be a wonderful addition to the celebrations of Royal Liverpool’s proud history and important role in the development of the amateur game.
