Essex professional Brett Taylor wants to regain his Powerade PGA Assistants' Championship, in association with FootJoy, title and will begin his bid in the East Region qualifier later this month.
Taylor was the national champion in 2006 but lost his crown to Middlesbrough assistant Jonathan Lupton 12 months later and now he is in the third and final year of his PGA qualifications he knows he only has one more chance to be victorious again.
And that - and the additional bonuses on offer - is driving him to succeed this year, starting at the qualifier at Benton Hall in Witham on May 21.
The overall champion qualifies for the BMW PGA Championship - the European Tour's flagship event at Wentworth - and also the Australian PGA Futures Championship
"Hopefully this will be my last year. I would like to win it again to get back to Wentworth - that is a big incentive for me," said the 33-year-old from Chelmsford Golf Club.
"It was such a good experience I would certainly like to go back there.
"The win in 2006 certainly set me up. It gave me a lot of opportunities and gave me confidence.
"But looking ahead to this year I hope to qualify for it first of all."
On his failure to defend his title Taylor added: "I was terribly disappointed because I was in a good position to win it and then I messed up. It was one of those things."
He is, however, upbeat about his chances of getting back to The London Club for August's final.
"I guess there will be 10 to a dozen places available for the final so if I don't have too many mistakes I should have a good chance but you never know," he said.
"It makes it easier having won it before. I am pretty confident I can win it if I am playing well.
"I look at it as though there are a dozen or so players that can win it so if you play well you have got a good chance. I would expect to do well.
"I've not really started the season yet but I'm expecting good things this year now my training is out of the way.
"Hopefully I can concentrate a little bit more on golf."
Rob Leonard, the region's reigning assistants' champion, is also looking to improve after making the final of this event last year.
"I qualified last year but didn't have a great couple of days to be honest and hopefully I'm playing a fair bit better this year," said the 23-year-old from Mid-Herts Golf Club near Wheathampstead.
"I had a bad first round and didn't have the best of second rounds.
"It is a really good tournament run on a quality golf course. I learned a massive amount from last year and on the PGA residential course I stayed with Jonathan Lupton and I spoke to him about it.
"The main stuff I already knew but he said you just have to hole the putts when it counts and staying out of the rough is key around there."
Leonard has just finished his second-year exams so is looking to get some playing time under his belt now.
"My confidence is always pretty high but I have been working on a few things to improve certain aspects of my game and everything seems to be coming together," he said.
"I'm going to go for a couple of practice rounds to get myself prepared (for the qualifier) - I'm looking for a better performance than last year."
Leonard added: "Over the next couple of years I am trying to get as much experience as I can to get myself ready for the European Tour."
The PGA Assistants' Championship, which has a £5,000 first prize, has had some notable winners with former Ryder Cup captain Dai Rees winning in 1935 and 1936, the 'Voice of Golf' Peter Allis claiming the title in '52, Open and US Open champion Tony Jacklin in '65 and Barry Lane in '83.
