21 for the University and 15 for Kent. He played for MCC against Yorkshire at the end of the 1910 season and made his final first-class appearance for Kent in the Champion County match later the same month. Hooman was described as "really outstanding cricketer" and, in his obituary, as a "splendid batsman". He scored a total of 1,758 runs and made three first-class centuries with a high score of 117. After giving up cricket, Hooman continued to play golf regularly. He played for the British and Ireland team in the inaugural Walker Cup in 1922 and in 1923. He also represented England in their annual match against Scotland in 1910 and 1922. He was described as a strong driver of the ball and Bernard Darwin, writing ahead of the 1922 competition considered that "when he is at his best there is no more dangerous or more brilliant player". During his 1922 Walker Cup singles match he was level with Jess Sweetser after 36 holes and the pair, with no instructions as to how to resolve the match, played an extra hole to decide the winner. Hooman won the match, but this is the only time in Walker Cup history that an extra hole has been played – drawn matches are awarded no points. He was eventually forced to stop playing golf after suffering from health issues in his legs. Military service After the start of World War I Hooman volunteered for the Royal Naval Reserve in February 1915. He served on HMS Stephen Furness, a merchant armed boarding steamer in the auxiliary fleet employed to board ships to enforce the trade blockade of Germany, as Assistant Paymaster. In 1916 he transferred to HMS Thalia, an ex-troop ship being used as a shore base on the Cromarty Firth, before serving as Assistant Paymaster on the armed yacht Eileen operating patrols out of Bermuda until 1919 when he ended his service as acting lieutenant and was awarded the Victory Medal and British War Medal. During World War II he volunteered for the RAF Volunteer Reserve as a Pilot Officer. He was promoted to Flight lieutenant and then Squadron leader before resigning his commission in 1944, aged 57. Personal life Hooman was married three times. His first wife, Adelaide Porcelli-Cust whom he married in 1912, died in 1925 and he married again in 1930 to Evelyn Margaret Gavin (née Ryder). She died
