County 2nd Team

Welcome to the 2nd Team Section of BCLGA

Are you a lady or girl golfer who is a member of a BCLGA-affiliated club and who would relish the opportunity to play scratch matches against other counties? If so, do get in touch: I’d love to hear from any potential new players for the county 2nd team.

Even if your handicap is not yet in single figures, you can be added to our email list. You may be given a chance to play in one of our non-league matches sooner than you think, or perhaps in a practice session with the 1st team!

Players who show good promise and availability may be invited to attend squad training sessions once or twice a year. Our County Training Offficer and County Captain have a keen interest in developing potential future players.

The most important events of our season are the Midlands South 2nd Team League matches, which are held between late Spring and late summer. The Berkshire ladies have recently had a great couple of years, reaching the final in 2014 and again in 2015 when we won the title.

In the league we play matches against Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, then the overall winner plays a final against the winner of the other three counties in the region (Northamptonshire, Warwickshire, or Worcestershire & Herefordshire).

We also have several friendly matches against other counties each year. These may follow the same format as the league matches (36 holes, foursomes and singles), or they may involve just 18 holes (singles or even greensomes).
