Welcome to Sussex County Junior Girls

   The  Sussex Pathway for Junior Girls is designed to suit girls of all abilities, who are no older than 17 on the 1st January of any given year. At entry-level we  partner with Calum Callan and SCG (Sussex County Golf) to deliver the Sussex-wide Junior Development Tour and NEW for 2026 the Development Tour Pus for girls and boys without a HCP Index or above 28.0. 

Two Development Academies support girls who have a HCP index of 20+ with  focussed coaching enabling girls to craft their technique, self confidence and on-course experience.

Our performance squad (Team Sussex) comprises girls with HCP indexes of 20 and below. Players are selected from the squad to represent Sussex in Inter County events including the annual Junior County Match Week.

The aim of all our coaching and development is to:

• Promote and encourage play
• Identify and nurture talent
• Develop performance golfers and select players to represent Sussex

We promote a fun, friendly and competitive environment where everyone shows respect and team spirit. Our view is a ‘happy’ golfer is much more likely to play well and have fun!  

The coaching principles that underpin our structure and approach are built on increasing the levels of independence, adaptability, resilience and self-belief whilst focussed on the process of developing technical skills.  

Coaching mirrors England Golf's five pillars - developing high competency in: ball flight control, wedge play, holing out, strategy & course management and scrambling.

Team Sussex girls have the opportunity to take part in England Golf’s South
regional training programme and from there onwards to National level. As well as the Junior golf programme, lower HCP index girls have the opportunity to take part in the County's  Player Development Programme which feeds into the County’s 1st
and 2nd Teams and possible selection for Southern Region Inter County Match Week.

We work with amazing PGA coaches including:-

• Rob Callaghan  based at Hill Barn. Rob is the Sussex County Junior Girls Coach and England Golf’s South East Regional Squad Coach 
• Calum Callan based at Mannings Heath runs the highly successful Academy there and introduced the County-wide Development Tour for boys and girls.

If your daughter has not taken part in a Sussex Girls' event or any of the County’s coaching, you can be assured of a very warm welcome and a friendly environment. They will leave with a smile on their face and lifelong  friendships made along the way and will develop as a golfer.

Do get in touch if you need any further information or help, I am here to support you  in any way I can.
