We are saddened at the death of Nigel Evans who played a significant part in the development of both the Cheshire Union of Golf Clubs and the English Golf Union / England Golf.
Nigel Evans, an honorary member of Sandiway, joined the Cheshire Union of Golf Clubs executive in 1980 and was county president in 1995. He worked tirelessly across most aspects of CUGC and particularly in the development of our junior golfers. In 1999 he commenced a lengthy period of involvement with the EGU and latterly England Golf where he fulfilled a number of roles before becoming the Chairman of the EGU in 2009. He was instrumental in the merger of the EGU and ELGA and in January 2012 he became Chairman of the newly-formed England Golf for the first two years of its existence. Nigel, awarded an OBE in 2014 for services to amateur golf, became the President of England Golf in 2015 and was inducted into the England Golf Hall of Fame in 2025.
