Purpose & Aim
The First team is a platform for the best golfers in Surrey to compete against their counterparts from other Counties, Nationally and regionally within the South East Group.
Training & Coaching
We have regular training sessions during the off season, and we are extremely fortunate to be able to use great training facilities such as Burhill GC and Effingham GC. We have also have the pleasure of using indoor facility Enzo Golf where players are able to make use of the latest Trackman technology.
Training sessions are made up of a combination of skills based challenges, testing and team building exercises.
For the League matches & qualifiers we have a clear and precise preparation process, from creating our own course planners, practice rounds and an overnight stay as close to the venue as we can find.
The coaches for the Fiirst Team are John Noble and Jim Christine.
Matches & Competitions
The competitive season starts in May with the first of four regular season Southern League matches against Sussex, Hampshire & Kent with the winner progressing to the final against the winner of the Northern section.
The pinnacle of County golf is the England County Finals played in October each year with a regional qualifier in July. This is a Strokeplay event with 6 players and only the winner goes forward to the Finals.
The First team has an intensive pre-season program starting in January with regular training sessions. Matches begin in early February against strong Club scratch teams from Sunningdale, Walton Heath, Wentworth, Addington Palace, Hindhead & Roehampton and Woking.
Players are selected for the First team based on performances in National & County events. Players are also strongly encouraged to play the local 36hole opens which make up events on the Surrey Order of Merit.
