The England Golf Awards celebrate the outstanding individuals, clubs, and initiatives that continue to shape the future of the sport.
Hosted by BBC Sport presenter Mark Chapman at the Hilton Manchester Deansgate, the annual celebration brought over 400 guests together to recognise those who have gone above and beyond this year in their contributions to golf.
As part of the celebrations, 11 different awards handed out from across various categories, while Brenda Parker was also given a Lifetime Service Award and six new names were also inducted into England Golf’s Hall of Fame.
There were 11 category winners announced each with a unique story to tell, while nine of those categories were nominated for by the public, before 50 judges from the golf industry and golf media examined the nominations to whittle them down to one winner per category.
