2025 Sayward Cup Tour - Royal Ashdown Forest - Ken Beaumont

The Sayward Cup is named in honour of our Founder and first President of Royal Colwood, Mr. Joseph A. Sayward.  It was the brainchild of Mr. Richard Austin, a past Captain, after a visit by a team from Royal Aberdeen in September 2000.

Since that inaugural international match, we have had the pleasure of hosting teams from New Zealand, The R and A, and most recently, The Lucifer Golf Society. Over the past 25 years, RCGC has been fortunate to be hosted for informal matches by the finest clubs in Scotland, Ireland, and England. This trip marks our 7th journey 'across the pond'. The Sayward Cup has been contested 60 times, with each match commemorated on the trophy.

The 2025 Sayward Cup Tour made stops in South London and Kent areas for more friendly matches.  Big shoutout to this year’s Captain John Ainsworth for leading the tour. 

Our third Match was at Royal Ashdown Forest (old course) on 8 September 2025.  Thanks to Ken Beaumont for taking time to discuss our game and experiences at Royal Ashdown Forest.
