James Mack in Essex squad

Congratulations, James Mack who has been chosen for the Essex training squad this winter. Members of this squad will be chosen to represent the county in upcoming matches. This is an ongoing process where his performances in Essex amateur events will help him to gain selection for higher honours.

It is no surprise that he is beginning to receive these opportunities with the continued hardwork he has been putting in. Working smarter on his game, and really targeting the problems has put the lowest scores on the board. Being involved with this squad will help his game elevate to the next level in conjunction with what we are working on here at the school.  This is a wonderful opportunity for James, well done.

A great start to the BSC qualifying series

It was a great start to our quest to qualify for the British Schools & Colleges National Final.

Our first event was held at Caldy Golf Club in Liverpool, and our scratch team was made up of Tom Matthews, George Mitchell, Ellis Muckley, and Zarak Curley. 

Our team were victorious with George and Tom both shooting -3 under gross (69), while Zarak and Ellis returned scores of 75 & 78 respectively. A great start to the qualifying series with a best of 3 team score of 3 under par!

Our next scheduled British Schools & Colleges match will not be until the new year. We will keep working hard in preparation as we look to go deep in the competition this year, and improve upon our 2nd place finish at the National Finals last year.

The final is scheduled to be played at the fantastic Trevose Golf Club in May next year.

Lee Westwood Golf Tour 2017 National Champions

This year the Lee Westwood Golf Tour National Final was held at Gainsborough Golf Club, home of PING’s European Custom Fitting Centre.  The event was held over 2 days (23^rd & 24^th October), with 60 competitors competing over 36 holes on the Karsten Lakes course to decide the 2017 national champions. 


The overall gross winner with a total score of 141, (72, 69) was Lee Westwood Golf School student James Mack, followed by Robert Holden who returned a total score of 148.  It was a tight race for the overall nett competition, but Julia Kerrigan took the title on countback from Ella Hammond-Baveystock and James Bennett, with a total score of 136 (8 under par).


2015 overall winner Tom Riley claimed the U21 nett title with consistent 1 over nett rounds on both days.


Robert Holden won the U17 gross competition, with a score of 148, with Nathan Newton as runner up with 149.


In the girl’s gross competition, Ella Hammond-Baveystock won with a score of 150, followed closely by Julia Kerrigan with 152.


Robert Holden, Charley Allsopp, Immy Leeder & Megan Evans took the nearest the pin competitions, and Ben Bolton sunk 6 8ft putts in a row to become putting champion!


A big thank you to PING’s European Custom Fitting Centre for allowing our finalists exclusive use of the fitting bays to test some of the clubs and PING equipment.  In the yardage challenge, both Tom Cotterell & Harry Shaw managed to land their balls within 10cm of the target.


It was great to see so many of our past and present students participating in the event, and congratulations must also go to Louis Martin and Eden Inglis for finishing in the top 10 gross and nett.  


Another fantastic event; with one parent commenting ‘Julia has woken up and still can’t believe what happened!  Once again I would like to thank you and all the staff for running an excellent event; she’s already looking forward to next year’


We can’t wait to see the tour grow in 2018 under our new branding – watch this space for more details!

New girls course record

NEW GIRLS COURSE RECORD AT LWGS-ESSEX

Eve Clarke, our Golf Performance Programme student from New Zealand, topped the nett leaderboard in this week's Strokeplay competition with a nett 67.

Her fantastic gross 72, level par, made up of halves of 38/34, was 5 under her handicap and included 4 birdies, beating a previous school course record of 73 set by Sophie Mills back in 2014.

This is an impressive 9 shots off her first week at the LWGS just 7 weeks ago....

Well done Eve, keep up the good work.

Liam makes TV debut on Sky Sport Golf Channel

Watch Liam McNeela’s debut on Sky Sports Golf Channel!

Earlier in the year Essex graduate Liam entered a social media competition to win a chance to appear in an advert for Callaway. He was among a few who won the competition and was invited to attend the Oxfordshire Golf Club. Liam’s swing was filmed with the new Epic driver and the data as seen in the video clip is from Trackman. Nice swing Liam!
