Aylmer was two up with four holes to play but lost the next three and could only halve the final hole.[5]

Aylmer was secretary to a number of golf clubs. He was at Strathpeffer Golf Club before World War I and was at Ranelagh Golf Club from 1920 to 1929.[6] He then took a similar position at the Roehampton Club.
