Shortlist announced for England Golf Awards 2022


The nominees have been announced for the England Golf Awards 2022.
This year’s ceremony, which will once again be a virtual one hosted by broadcaster Naga Munchetty, will take place on April 20 from 6.30pm and be broadcast live on England Golf’s YouTube channel.
Nominations were invited from the public for 10 of the 11 categories. Performance of the Year candidates were nominated by England Golf staff. In keeping with tradition, there is no shortlist for the Lifetime Service Award which will be presented to one worthy recipient on the night.An expert panel of 46 judges, made up of England Golf staff as well as industry and media colleagues, faced the unenviable task of narrowing down the potential winners from an outstanding longlist of nominations.
Commenting on the list of nominees, Jeremy Tomlinson, England Golf’s chief executive officer, said: “It was a real privilege to read through so many amazing stories from groups and individuals who go that extra mile to make a difference to the game we all love. This is a chance to shine a light on those individuals, groups, counties and clubs who don’t seek publicity for the great work they do, but who deserve to be honoured and recognised. To read about such levels of passion, creativity and dedication being shown by so many from our golfing community is truly inspirational.
“I very much look forward to the ceremony and invite all golfers and supporters of the game to come online and join in with a celebration of all that’s good about the club and amateur scene in England.”Club of the Year
