SCLGA Teams

1st Team

The County 1st Team is announced each season after the County Championships. In preparation for County Match Week, we play several friendly matches, but the season's highlight is undoubtedly County Match Week. This year, it's being held in June and hosted by Sussex at Worthing Golf Club, where we'll compete against Hampshire, Kent, Middlesex, and Surrey. The winners and runners-up of County Match Week will earn the opportunity to represent our region in the National Finals in August. Additionally, we have a development program in place to support our 1st Team squad. Sara Whittaker from Willingdon serves as our Team Manager.

2nd Team

Our 2nd Team engages in several friendly matches and competes annually for the Stovold Trophy against Hampshire, Kent, Middlesex, and Surrey. Notably, Sussex clinched the Trophy in both 2015 and 2016. Selection for the team comes from players involved in our Player Development programme, who are evaluated regularly based on their handicaps and performances at county championships and other events. We are committed to fostering young talent by including our Elite Juniors in the lineup. Sara Whittaker from Willingdon serves as our Team Manager.

Juniors

We have a number of development programmes for the girls and details are found on our Junior Coaching Pages. Karen Parks is responsible for working with the Juniors and organises the Junior Events with her committee. She is always keen to hear from any youngsters who are looking for a way into golf or for information about golf in their area. One of the highlights of the Junior Program is County Match Week which takes place every year in August.  If you'd like to know more, please contact Karen Parks.

Seniors

Our seniors engage in exciting and competitive matches against strong teams from Berkshire, Surrey, Kent, and Hampshire, led by our dedicated Friendly Match Captain, Deborah James (Dyke). We proudly participate in a Seniors Competitive League that features singles match play for players aged 50 and over with a handicap of 8 or below, taking on formidable opponents from Surrey, Kent, Essex, and Middlesex. Sussex has established a winning tradition by claiming the Mulligan Larsen Bowl from 2015 to 2019 and again in 2024 & 2025. Our efficient Seniors Team Organiser, Sara Whittaker (Willingdon), ensures our success.  

Every September, we compete in the prestigious Inter-Counties Strokeplay Championship, with players selected from our competitive seniors team, under the skilled leadership of the County President as Team Captain. Additionally, we hold an annual Veterans match for players aged 60 and over against Hampshire, highlighting our commitment to fostering competitive play across all ages.
