3 x Open Champion Sir Henry Cotton learnt to play golf in Lewisham with his brother who was pro at Beckenham Place Park

Update posted by James Davies

3 x Open Champion Sir Henry Cottons brother was Professional at Beckenham Place Park for many years and his famil are still linked to the club and course. Thec2 brothers went to Alleyns School in Dulwich and after a fall out with Headmaster And Prefects about carrying cricket gear Henry and brother took up golf and learnt to play at Aquarius in Honor Oak. So Lewisham was where the Great Sir Henry Cotton learnt to play!
