Selection Framework

Selection Criteria for SCLGA Junior Girls Squad & County Matches

The areas outlined below are the framework we use for selection.

·       Scoring Average 

·       Junior Opens and Spring Meeting, Girls County Championships and Autumn Meeting

·       SCLGA County Championship

·       Participation in Coaching including feedback/use of CoachNow

·       General attitude on and off the course

·       Scoring Average

We’re looking for improvement in scoring average particularly away from home course. Is the player improving, struggling or playing consistently? Scoring AWAY from home is the best test of their skill. We love to see juniors who can perform under pressure away from home. We are more unlikely to select players who can only perform on their own course.

·       Junior Opens and Spring Meeting, Girls County Championships and Autumn Meeting

We expect Squad and Academy members to play in lots of Junior Opens (OOM) and the three main events we organise for Sussex girls.

·       SCLGA County Championships

The annual County Championship, played over several days for players with 16 or below HCP Index from Sussex, is a great test. We  recommend any lower HCP girl to enter.

·       Participation in Coaching including feedback/use of CoachNow

We have an expectation that Squad and Academy girls should actively engage with our coaching and provide ‘self assessment’ around four main areas recording statistics using the CoachNow app. They are  GIR, 3 putts, scrambling and double bogeys. Boring golf wins matches!

·      General attitude on and off the course

Sussex is proud to have a friendly, fun and competitive environment with players who show respect and team spirit. A happy team is MUCH more likely to succeed.
