The East Region was named Boys’ Region of the Year for 2024/25, recognising an exceptional season of consistent results, strong representation at national and international level, and a collective commitment to player development.
At the top level, Toby Peters and Ben Sessions led the way with international honours. Peters represented England at both the European Team Championships and Home Internationals, while Sessions also featured in the Home Internationals and delivered a standout performance at the Spanish Boys’ Championship. Their achievements set the tone for what was a remarkable year across the entire East Regional Squad.
The region’s depth was further highlighted in the England Golf Boys’ Order of Merit, where Peters secured 1st place, Sessions finished 3rd, and additional East players ranked 9th, 16th, and 19th. With five players inside the national top 20, the East Region demonstrated exceptional consistency and strength across the most competitive events.
Throughout the season, East Region players recorded victories at the McEvoy Trophy, South of England Boys, South East Junior, and two Faldo Series events. The squad also celebrated multiple top-3 finishes at prestigious tournaments including the Spanish Boys, Carris Trophy, England U18s, West of England U18s, North of England U16s, and another McEvoy Trophy. A wealth of top-10 finishes at events such as the Berkhamsted, Lagonda, Berkshire Trophy, English Amateur, Tillman Trophy, and Fairhaven Trophy, further underlined the squad’s consistency.
Success was shared across the squad rather than concentrated in one or two individuals, showcasing both the depth and strength of the East Region.
Under the guidance of Chris Jenkins (pictured above left), Paul Prebble (above right), and Will Wayland, the team also embraced innovative performance tools such as Upgame, using data and feedback to refine training and tournament preparation. This approach translated into improved on-course decision-making and measurable performance gains.
