John D'Ewes Pritchett (1931 – 30 October 1958)[1] was an English professional golfer. He was Boys Amateur Champion in 1948 and won the Daks Tournament in 1955. He was killed in a road traffic accident at the age of 27.

Golf career

Pritchett won the Boys Amateur Championship in 1948 beating David Reid, a Scot. Pritchett had been 5 down with 10 holes to play and was dormie-3. However he won the next four holes to win the championship at the 37th hole.[2] Pritchett played for England against Scotland in the Boys International played prior to the championship. He attended Bishop Vesey's Grammar School in Sutton Coldfield.[3]

Pritchett became an assistant professional at Sunningdale Golf Club in 1949. In 1953, at the age of 21, he was a runner-up in the Silver King Tournament behind Flory Van Donck.[4] He won the 1955 Daks Tournament, which was played at Sunningdale, beating Dai Rees by 2 strokes and winning the first prize of £600.[5] He became full professional at Stoneham Golf Club near Southampton in late 1957.

Death

Pritchett died in a road traffic accident on 30 October 1958 aged 27. He was in a car being driver by Philip Scrutton, a leading amateur golfer, when they were hit by an army lorry on the A30, just west of Blackbushe Airport, Hampshire. Scrutton was also killed.[6][7] Pritchett and Scrutton had played together in the 1958 Wentworth Foursomes, losing in the final.[8] Pritchett had married Annie Eirwen Evans in 1956. Annie did not remarry and died in 1989.[9]
