Gloucestershire Golf Union

1st Team

We pride ourselves on having an open and transparent selection policy detailing exactly what is required of those who aspire to play Men's County Golf for Gloucestershire. Click Here to view the Men's Selection Framework.

The First Team is made up of the very best golfers within Gloucestershire. Our 1st team is headed up by our County Captain, Gary Ward of The Kendleshire GC and competes in the Channel League each year against Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Somerset, Gwent, Wiltshire & Glamorgan. They also compete in South West Week which includes the regional qualifier for the England Golf County Finals. In 2022 a fter qualifying for the England Golf National finals the team took to Remedy Oak GC to do battle against the 3 other regional winners and Gloucestershire were triumphant winning all 3 of their matches. This was our first National County Championship win in over 40 years, a truly great achievement that will live long in the memories of all involved.

Below First Team player and Cotswold Hills member, Jake Phillips, talks about what it means to represent Gloucestershire and in particular his experiences of playing in the coverted South West Week.
