Volunteers, junior organisers, schoolteachers and PGA professionals who have made great strides in helping youngsters to develop as golfers were rewarded at The Golf Foundation Annual Awards Ceremony.

When is a hole-in-one not a hole-in-one? When it's done with a second ball!
In the President's Prize at Sickleholme Golf Club, Chris Littlewood, lost his first ball from his tee shot on the 13th.
He then proceeded to hit his next seven iron directly into the hole without bouncing!
Chris, a 10-handicapper, went on to win the event.
