Prince Edward took up the playing of Golf during his trip to France aged 18 in 1912 and  enjoyed it throughout his life. He turned to golf ever increasingly after 1932 when he returned home from Africa to see his gravely ill father, and his mother asked him to give up steeple chasing. He had had a number of falls whilst participating in this activity, notably in 1924 when he was racing for Lord Cavan’s Cup, he fell off, lay senseless for 30 minutes and then was bed ridden for almost a month. His mother’s pleas at the t.mes of his father's illness were enough for him to agree and as a result he filled his t.mes with more golf. Golf was described as his ‘favourite recreation’ and his disappointment was expressed at not being able to play golf during a trip to Cote d’Azur in 1949 because the course was burnt and brown for lack of water.
