As the guys said above, go see the doc first. Knowing the NHS, you need to make clear to him that you will need a ultrasound scan too as you are a high ranking golfer in season prep time so you REALLY need to be precise with the diagnosis and the fix as "take 8 week rest" does not cut it unless totally necessary.
If there is no tendon ligament damage you probably have trigger points that are simple to de-activate. You can do it yourself at home in a few days/weeks. Do an online search "tennis elbow trigger points". There are several good sites to treat this.

Few people realize the effect of trigger points on the body and suffer needlessly. Golfers are susceptible to neck, back and arm injuries. Most can be treated sucessfully at home with trigger point therapy.
tried the trigger point massage techniques and have to say the pain has eased.
Used a TENS machine as well and an ice pack so hard to say which should get the most credit!
Thanks for the advice though

got official diagnosis of tennis elbow from the doctor
He's prepared to give it a week or two and then is happy to give me a cortizone injection if I want it
