Hampshire Golf Celebrates Strong Junior Representation in the South England Regional Squads
Thursday 4th December 2025
Hampshire Golf is incredibly proud to celebrate the success of our young players who have been selected for the South England Regional Squads as part of the England Golf Regional Coaching Programme.
This prestigious programme plays a vital role in the national performance pathway, guiding talented juniors from county golf into the England Golf National Squads. Designed to nurture the next generation of elite players, it focuses on developing golfers capable of performing and ultimately winning at both national and international levels.
This season, Hampshire is delighted to have a significant number of juniors involved across the squads. Their selection reflects not only their hard work and dedication but also the strength of junior golf within our county.
The Juniors that have been selected from within Hampshire are-
Alfie Batten- Stoneham Golf Club
Albie Beeston- North Hants Golf Club
Max Blake- Corhampton Golf Club
Fred Gill- Stoneham Golf Club
Oliver Smith- Stoneham Golf Club
Maryam Kassim- Liphook Golf Club
Georgia Richardson- Stoneham Golf Club
Rosie Rooney- Alresford Golf Club
England Golf Deputy Performance Director Steve Burnett highlights the importance of the pathway, saying:
“England Golf aims to support a strong, aligned and inclusive performance pathway from club to national level, in order to identify, recruit, develop, support and retain world class golfers capable of performing and winning at the highest levels of amateur golf.
The Regional Performance Programme is a vital part of the pathway… it bridges the gap for young players showing promise at county level to push on and improve sufficiently to go on and play for England in the near future.”
The Regional Squads have long been a platform for producing world class players, and we are excited to see Hampshire’s juniors continue that legacy. Their achievements not only inspire the next generation of golfers within our clubs but also strengthen the county’s reputation for developing outstanding young talent.
We look forward to following their progress throughout the year and celebrating their continued success.
Well done to all our Hampshire juniors — we are incredibly proud of you!

Channel Islands vs Hampshire Men’s Golf Match Report

A young Hampshire Men’s team travelled to Guernsey for their annual match against the Channel Islands, falling 8.5–3.5 in a well-spirited contest that provided valuable experience for the squad’s emerging players
Back row L-R- Harrison Pake, Alfie Batten, Albie Beeston, Mitchell Bligh
Front row L-R- Luke Hodgetts, Jamie Markwick, Max Blake, James Knight
Despite the Channel Islands being part of our County, the annual fixture between the Channel Islands and Hampshire Men’s team always carries a healthy sense of rivalry — friendly, yet fiercely competitive.
This year’s match was played in Guernsey, where both teams enjoyed excellent hospitality and challenging conditions. Hampshire fielded a younger team than usual, giving several emerging players valuable experience at this level. Despite their enthusiasm and determination, the hosts made the most of their home advantage, producing some fine golf to secure a well-deserved 8.5 – 3.5 victory over the visiting mainland side.
Many of the matches were closely contested, with Hampshire showing plenty of promise for the future. The fixture was played in great spirit, highlighting the camaraderie and mutual respect between the two sides.
Although the scoreline went in favour of the Channel Islands, the experience gained by Hampshire’s younger players will prove invaluable as they continue their development and look ahead to future county matches.
