Edward Hayles
Renishaw
Edward Hayles was born to a naval family while his father was on the Isle of Wight at Bembridge in 1887.

He came to the new course at Renishaw in 1911 which had been opened by Ted Ray and Harry Vardon the previous year and promptly reduced Ray’s course record by two strokes to 71. He was described by the Sheffield Daily Telegraph in December of that year as ‘very popular in his position at the club’.

Hayles must have liked it too as the same paper reported him in July 1939 thus. ‘He came when the club was instituted in 1911 and has been there ever since: the doyen of club professionals for very many miles in all directions’. By that time he was also an honorary member of the club.

While at the club he served in the First World War in which his brother, Alfred was killed, initially, from 1916, in the Royal Horse and Field Artillery and later in the Tank Corps. He died in 1948.
