The Essex Golf Partnership is now fully and up and running. For those who don't know what this is about, it is an alliance between the Essex County Golf Union, The Essex Ladies County Golf Union and Essex PGA. The ethos of the partnership is to introduce more people to the game of golf in our County. The partnership will provide initiatives and promote development of the game. They will also be key to providing a whole host of funding, particularly at grass roots level - something all Essex PGA Professionals should be finding out more information. The partnership now have their own website which is up and running; please have a look at their website for more information. www.essexgolfpartnership.com
 

 
Please find entry information for the Essex PGA Closed Championship (which incorporates the Trainee Championship and qualifying for the Trainee Matchplay Trophy) on the calendar of events page on this site. This event is being generously sponsored by Lords and L.C.H and we are anticipating a total prize fund of nearly £9,000. The pro/am will be made up virtually entirely of Lords' member teams so we will be looking for around 25 professionals to join these teams. Please let Suzy know as soon as possible if you would like to enter the pro/am and the championship.
 

 
Major disappointment for everyone with the cancellation of the Knole Park Pro/Am. Unfortunately, this was due to severe rain storms in Kent and the course was unfortunately closed because of it. We are intending to reschedule this event for the Autumn.

We are launching a brand new event for February 2009 - the Portugese Pro/Am - please find preliminary details on this link. If you are interested please let Suzy know as soon as you can.

Full entry details for the PGA Championship at Lords Golf and Country Club will be on the site within the next 7 days.

Obituary - It is with great regret that we have learnt of the death of Ray Bowen, one of our loyal amateur supports of the Essex PGA. Ray passed away last week, after a long illness. We all send his family our sincerest condolences.
 

 
We have just had a fabulous Open Championship at Thorpe Hall Golf. One of the many sponsors who supported us were Your Golf Holidays, you will probably know them formerly as French Golf Holidays. There is a fantastic opportunity to join them in a venture which is profitable for you too - please read below

"Your Golf Holidays are delighted to offer the Pros in Essex the chance of earning extra money. Quite simply for recommending any of your clients to us and should they subsequently book a golfing holiday with Your Golf Holidays you will receive a commission up to a maximum of £75 per person.
