RESULTS FROM THE GEOFFREY BURNS SALVER AT LORDS
The weather forecast was ghastly for today but amazingly we all got round Lords Dukes Course in a dry state. The course played extremely well and was presented beautifully. A massive thank you to Captain Phil Cherry and all the members at Lords for supporting this day so brilliantly. This day was also in aid of Phil's Captain's Charity and he told me that he has raised £19,000 for BLISS this year (Bliss supports those little ones who have been born prematurely so what a fabulous charity this is to support). The golf was stunning particularly from Mark Baker with his 7 birdie - 6 score of 66 four shots ahead of joint second place Steve Cipa and Andy Pestell on -3 70. Mention must go to the team winners Steve Cipa with Tony Brown, Martin Stone and Andy Ludgate with a record breaking - 21 score of 125 - wow! Here's the rest of the results:

It felt like a 90 mph wind - always in your face whichever way you were playing - it just never helped! Apart from that Princes welcomed us with open arms as usual.

RESULTS FROM THE WINTER LEAGUE AT CHELSMFORD
A very, very nice day today. Fantastic field - these winter leagues are obviously very popular indeed for our professionals and low amateurs alike. Great scoring too - right up to the last group - just as Captain Luke and Jason Levermore thought they were sitting pretty with -2 scores each, in comes Bradley Smith from Hainault with a totally stunning 5 under 68.

RESULTS FROM THE SPRING FAYRE AT COLCHESTER
Fabulous day all round - despite it being very early in the season those Colchester greens look full of eastern promise for the summer - they are going to be FAB. Major thanks to all at the Club as usual - Captain Dickie Bockenham, Secretary Julie, Catering Brenda, bar staff , the two Marks of course as well as Chris - and not forgetting our President JV - you all put on a grand show for us today Our Colchester based boys seem to be very happy with the conditions as we had joint winners for the absolutely unique JV Jug - donated by our dear President JV Wright - (me thinks it should have been renamed JV's Joint Jugs on this occasion!) Mark Baker and Mark Stokes had great scores of 67 a piece - both scores included an amazing 5 birdies. In second place was Head Pro at Colchester Mark Angel with 68. Absolutely delighted for all of you guys! Here's the rest:
Professional Score for the JV Jug
1st Mark Stokes (Rayleigh DR) and Mark Baker (Colchester) 67 - 3

Tony Ames won the nearest the pin on 16th and Dom Adams on the 4th
David Wood (St. Clere's) won the pro challenge of nearest the 18th in two. 92 cm apparently - what's that in inches David - pretty close in my language!
RESULTS FROM THE MATCH VERSUS THE LADIES AT THORNDON PARK
Well, this was how we were thinking. Those girls of Brenda's are so good now - they are all young (very young!), their highest handicap was 4 I believe so they are all very good players indeed. And we thought they needed a challenge so we put them off the yellow tees at Thorndon this time! But boy, did those girls raise their game - we beat them (thank goodness!) but only by two games - so jolly well done the girls - you are all amazingly good - our Essex Pro's were impressed. So just the detail after halving the morning foursomes, despite a couple of halves early on in the field, we were able to take 5 wins combined with 3 losses to win the game 8 1/2 to 6 1/2/ Than you Brenda - we hope you all enjoyed the match - there will be some pictures on the site soon. Major thanks to Captain Luke Eggleston, Roger Gray, Mark Stokes, Mark Talbott, Aaron Quinn, James Smith, Matt Stables, Jason Levermore, Andy Pestell and Graham Burroughs for taking part today - you're all champion!.
RESULTS FROM THE WINTER LEAGUE AT MAYLANDS GOLF CLUB
It was really great to see Robbie Coles in the field at a very cold Maylands - unfortunately we couldn't twist his arm to play in the ladies match at Thorndon the following week !- but nonetheless we all congratulate Robbie on his fantastic 2nd place at the Avantha Masters in Delhi, India last week. However, fresh from Disneyworld in Florida, Jason squeezed out a 1 under score of 70 to win by 1 shot from trainee Chris Cutchie from Colchster and Bradley Smith from Hainault with their solid level rounds of 71 to take joint 2nd. Here's the rest:
Individual Professional
1st Jason Levermore (Clacton) 70 -1 9 OOM Pts

RESULTS FROM THE HINTLESHAM HALL PRO/AM FEBRUARY 24TH
For one moment today, I thought I had morphed into the Suffolk PGA Secretary - there was just so many Suffolk pros and amateurs at Hintlesham. Super day though, topped with Spring like conditions as long as one could overlook the ground - just so glad we weren't playing yesterday. Former EPGA member, Henry Roblin's club was excellent - we will be back Henry! So, Suffolk boys came out on top I am afraid (I am counting Roly as a Tractor boy, even though he's in Essex - I know what I'm talking about even if no-one else does) but loads of unexpected Order of Merit points for my boys! - Oh! I forgot Danny Barton had six, yes six, birdies ................... Here's the results now:
Individual Pro
1st Roly Hitchcock (Stoke by Nayland) 68 -4
2nd Kevin Earp 69 -3
3rd Terry Moncur (Langdon Hills), Jack Clarke (Lords) and Danny Barton (Felixstowe Golf Centre) 71 -1
The Team Competition
1st Danny Barton with Jamie Horsfield, James Tyler and Daniel Harrison 89 points
2nd Brett Taylor with Alan Connell, David Nairn and David Horne 88 pts
3rd Captain Luke Eggleston with Steve Rooney, Dave Doe and Ronald Weeks with 86 pts
Longest Drive: Lee Keeling
Nearest the Pin: Ratey (aka Chris Rate)
RESULTS FROM THE PORTUGESE POR/AM - FEBRUARY 14TH - 19TH
Think of the best course you have ever played with the best ever facilities and service - well double that and then times by 10 and you have the fabulous Monte Rei where we were privileged to play two of our pro/am rounds last week. Day 1 of the competition was on the tight Vila Sol Golf Course, Day 2 at Monte Rei in the most superb playing conditions, Day 3 back at MR but this time it was with at least a 3 club wind - that course was a monster particularly particularly for our pros who were playing on a course measuring over 7,200 yards. Overall though, brilliant atmosphere, loads of laughs and major mikey taking of a certain person - our Paul ("call me 8 balls") Hills can take it! Matt Stables was top individual professional and he also steered his team of Paul Hills, Glen Llangenberg and John Doe to overall team victory too. Heartfelt thanks to all our ever supportive professionals of Matt, Mark Stokes, Johnnie Fryatt and Jack Clarke and their fabulousamateur guests who joined us. There's a few pictures on the Pro's Page .
RESULTS FROM THE WINTER LEAGUE AT WANSTEAD GOLF CLUB
Apart from the pig awful journey to get to Wanstead and the rather unpredictable gusty wind, we had a really good day at Wanstead Golf Club. It has been a long time since Essex PGA have been at the club and we received a brilliant welcome from everyone - those were the best bacon sarnies in the county guys!. Nigel Kerridge's dad assisted our dear boy Joe on the 1st tee and we thank them both for that - Nigel, I was hearing lots of stories about you from you Dad! We had an amazing field of 30 players - both pro and low amateur - I was so pleased. The only bad thing to happen was that Charlie Clare from Boyce ran out of balls on the 17th and sadly didn't submit his card - sorry matey you shoundn't have told me that story!! Here's what happened:
Individual Professional
1st Steve Cipa (South Essex) 66 - 3 9 OOM Points
2nd Jason Levermore (Clacton) 68 -2 6 OOM Points
Joint 3rd Mark Stokes (Rayleigh DR) and Johnnie Fryatt (Thorpe Hall ) 70 +1 4.5 OOM Pts Each
Joint 5th Brett Taylor, Matt King and Jack Clarke 71 +2 2.5 OOM Pts to Matt and Brett
Joint 7th Andy Pestell and Roger Gray 72 0.5 OOM Pts Each
Best Trainee
James Scade 73
Best Amateur
Joint 1st Tony Ames and George Evans 73 +2 - George I need your address please!)
RESULTS FROM THE FOURBALL BETTER BALL AT HAINAULT
Well, there I was, a thousand miles away from good old Essex, languishing by the pool getting those last rays of sun before one's return to Blighty when my mobile bleeps with a message from Paul Hills - EXCITING NEWS FROM HAINAULT! - what!!!! and what news it was - our dear fellow professional Sean Carter got a hole in one! Sean, my husband and I subsequently ordered a superb bottle of Red and, of course, have sent the bill to you!! Salute!

RESULTS FROM THE EDDIE SADLER TROPHY AND PRESIDENTS CUP - KNOLE PARK
To quote our dear boy Joe Crumpen, the day was bitterly cold with the odd light snow shower which, although it didn't settle, remained an inconvenience !! Ha!

RESULTS FROM THE AGM FOURBALL BETTER AT CHANNELS JANUARY 13TH, 2011
At last, we were back on the golf course. A great turnout for the golf and sadly not as many attended the AGM. Scott said his goodbyes (Scott you were such a great Captain) and Luke Eggleston now proudly wears that special badge for the next year - Luke please get your good lady to sew it on your blazer! No hang on, why don't you see Nigel at Centregolf in Rayleigh - he is the jacket expert! Andy Pestell and Wes Wray had a blistering 62 and in joint second place were Mark Stokes and Christian Foreman - Christian also answers to the name of Christine apparently - you won't live that one down Christian! with Paul Barham and David Wood on 66. We had a very lively AGM with some really good input from the attendees - I now have to try to remember what was said.! Most importantly, Brian White our PGA Board Member was awarded honorary membership to commemorate his long service to Essex PGA. Jason Levermore was presented with the 2010 Order of Merit Trophy too.
1st Wes Wray (Three Rivers) and Andy Pestell (Chelmsford) 62
Joint 2nd Mark Stokes (Rayleigh DR) and Christian Foreman (Rochford) together with Paul Barham (Stockbrook Manor) and David Wood (St. Clere's) 66
