Waterford History

The tournament was first held in 1975 and for 35 years it was played as a 36-hole event, on one day, over the East Course. It was one of the premiere Kent scratch strokeplay competitions and justfiably attracted the leading players from around the county to compete. The lowest 36 hole aggregate was 135 (5 under par).

In 2010 the competition hit a new level when the format changed to 72-holes over both courses and it was awarded England Order of Merit and World Amateur Ranking status. With that, leading amateurs from around the country, such as Tyrell Hatton, started applying for a prized place on the start sheet.

The tournament continues to go from strength to strength with the lowest 72-hole aggregate now standing at 272 (8 under par).
