The Trusty Servant
Hockley Golf Club's Logo is a version of the "˜Trusty Servant', an emblematic figure in a painting at Winchester College - the Club's landlord - and it is also the name of the College's alumni magazine.
This allegorical beast combines the qualities of the various animals depicted in the Trusty Servant - patience, speed, discretion, faith, hard work and protection.
At the entrance to the Club you are faced with a reproduction of the picture of the "˜Trusty Servant', along with a Latin inscription and an "˜old' English translation.
A trusty servant's picture would you see,
This figure well survey, who'ever you be.
The porker's snout not nice in diet shows;
The padlock shut, no secret he'll disclose;
Patient, to angry lords the ass gives ear;
Swiftness on errand, the stag's feet declare;
Laden his left hand, apt to labour saith;
The coat his neatness; the open hand his faith;
Girt with his sword, his shield upon his arm,
Himself and master he'll protect from harm.
