Hay was born at Auckland in 1875 and was educated at Auckland Grammar School, as was his younger brother Douglas.[3] After leaving school he worked at the Auckland Savings Bank before joining the firm of Hendry and Hay as a stockbroker. He was considered "well-known" at the Auckland stock exchange.[4][5]
The eldest of three brothers, all of whom were sportsmen, Hay played cricket whilst at school. He was considered a "lively" batsman and an excellent fielder, described as "one of the finest cover point's Auckland has known".[6] He was a representative rugby and soccer player and later became a respected sports administrator, serving as treasurer of the Auckland Cricket Association, secretary of the trustees of Eden Park, and as president of the Auckland Grammar School Old Boys Association.[4][5]
Hay's son, Stuart Hay, also played cricket and rugby for Auckland and was chairman of the Auckland Stock Exchange.[3]
