Basildon Golf Club youngsters Daniel Brooks and David Wilkin have been driving the club towards unprecedented success.

And now the teenagers are being tipped as potential talents for the future as Daniel is assessed for England coaching with the EGU.

Brian Fuller, of Essex County, has worked closely with the boys and was excited by what he saw as they helped the new town club sweep the board at the recent Essex championships.

After seeing Daniel take the boys and under-16 individual honours before teaming up with David for the pairs and adding Ben Tobin to take the team prizes, Fuller said: "I can't find a year where one player has won both under-16 and boys tournaments.

"Certainly there has never been a year where one club has won everything."

Now Daniel, playing off a two handicap at just 15 years of age, is looking set to come into the England coaching set-up after several years of representing the Essex age groups.
