Aims and Objectives.

The County First Team is a platform to provide Elite Amateur Golfers in the region a chance to compete against the best players within the South of England and further afield. 

The County First Team, lead by Captain Toby Burden, compete in the South East Group League and play matches against Sussex, Surrey and Kent as well as in the Men's County Qualifying event each year. Alongside playing as a squad, our players fly the Hampshire flag by competing at the highest amateur level in national events accross the UK and Abroad.

The First Team have produced numerous Tour Winning Professionals in Richard Bland and US Open Winner- Justin Rose. There have been many successes at a national level, most noticably with Hampshire Players winning back to back British Amateur Championships in 2016 and 2017 when Scott Gregory and Harry Ellis picked up the trophy in consecutive years.
