Tales abounded of his many exploits as members of the 28 participating teams recalled their own stories of time spent in his company during the 26 years he was either, our club professional, or coaching them from his Kent bases on his return from Belgium in 1993.

I played pretty well and had 2 eagles !Click here for results

Wallis Flying High At Titleist PGA Play-Offs

After back to back Order of Merit titles, Wallis believes he is playing the best golf of his career and credits that to a change in coach plus the installation of a putting green in his back garden
"I changed my coach (Paul Page, Kings Hill) a couple of years ago and my shape from a cut to a draw which has made a big difference because I've had two years of winning the region order of merit which is a massive boost," he added.
