PGA professionals Scott Rusbridge and Tom Hide have won a top award from England Golf.
The duo, who run the Coastal Golf Academy, were presented with their coveted Participation Award by Sport England chief executive Jennie Price, at a gala dinner in Leicestershire.
They were rewarded for their modern, exciting approach to attracting new golfers and encouraging regular players.
“It’s an honour to be recognised by England Golf and it’s a reward for our efforts,” said Rusbridge.
“It makes us even more enthusiastic to carry on.”
The pair run their academy at Millers Barn, Frinton, Harwich and Colne Valley.
