The unsung heroes and the champions of English amateur golf were last night honoured at the 2022 England Golf Awards sponsored by adidas.
Broadcaster and keen golfer Naga Munchetty hosted the event which was streamed live on England Golf’s YouTube channel.
Viewers enjoyed guest appearances from singer and presenter Fleur East, golfing royal Zara Tindall, tennis coach Judy Murray and England Golf ambassador Tommy Fleetwood as well as contributions from England Golf CEO Jeremy Tomlinson and our category winners.
The full awards ceremony is now available to view on the England Golf YouTube channel.
The awards are designed to recognise and reward individuals, teams, clubs and counties who have shone in the past year and made a positive contribution to the amateur game in this country.
There were 11 category winners announced, each with their own special tale to tell. In 10 of the 11 categories, nominations were made by the public and a panel of 46 judges comprising experts from the golf industry, the media and England Golf staff had the unenviable task of picking one winner in each section.
The nominees for the Performance of the Year category were put forward and then judged by staff in the England Golf performance department led by director Nigel Edwards.
