Search is on for golf’s unsung heroes

THE volunteers who help deliver golfing success are to be honoured at a special awards night.

Clubs and county organisations are being invited by the England Golf Partnership to nominate potential winners.

The closing date is December 14, 2012, and the nomination form can found at www.golfvolunteers.org

The Volunteer of the Year awards will be presented at the County Golf Development Conference in February, 2013.

There are seven categories, including Under 18, volunteer coaching, those involved in club and county development and lifetime achievers.

Phillip Beard, Volunteer Manager for the EGP, said: “We have so many wonderful volunteers and we want to encourage nominations so those who deserve special praise can be considered.”

Former winners include Ted Leather, from Warrington GC, who is chairman of the Cheshire County Golf Partnership and a long-time supporter of the sport.
