32 THE WORLD OF GOLFING
FOXHILLS
Former Tour Pro Wall
Builds New Future At Foxhills
Foxhills
Anthony Wall is ready to pass on a
wealth of European Tour experience in
his new role at Foxhills Club & Resort.
The 44-year-old, who came through
the junior ranks at Foxhills in the early
1990s, is returning to where it all began
at the Surrey club after an impressive
career on the European Tour.
After turning professional in 1995, Wall
went on to play in 523 tournaments,
recording 48 top-10 finishes with two
European Tour victories – the Alfred
Dunhill Championship in 2000 and the
Paul Lawrie Match Play in 2016. He also
competed in 11 Major championships,
with his best finish coming in the 2006
Open at Hoylake when he earned a tie
for 11th place, while he was also 12th at
St Andrews in 2015.
With two decades as a European Tour
pro behind him, he has built up huge
knowledge as he targets some big
improvements among the golfers at
Foxhills and beyond.
Wall said: “Nothing replaces playing
and competing with the world’s best
but I always wanted to stay in the game
in some capacity – I’ve never done
anything else. In golf, there’s nothing I
haven’t seen in 22 years and I love the
thought of continuing that journey after I
came through myself as a kid at Foxhills.
“There is a certain pleasure in helping
people improve. It’s actually pretty
special seeing someone’s face when they
hit a draw, when they have never been
able to do it before.”
Wall was part of the Foxhills Foundation
from 1987 to 1991 – as was fellow
graduate Paul Casey – which provides
coaching and guidance for talented
youngsters. Wall believes his Tour
expertise can be applied to any level of
golfer as they bid to improve.
