Winter Training

After the playing season has ended, players have the opportunity to be selected for Men's Senior Winter Training. Potential Men's Senior Team players will be divided into two groups for Winter Training; Performance Squad and the Academy Squad. 

The Performance Squad, consisting of up to 10 players, will benefit from two 'away days' during the winter and other experiences that the County will provide. The overall aim of Performance Winter Training is to improve upon the already considerable abilities of the high-performance players and assist them towards excelling in national amateur golf while representing Middlesex. 

The Academy Squad, consisiting of up to 10 players, will receive three two-hour group coaching sessions at the North London Golf Academy.  The overall aim of Academy Winter Training is to bring skilful players together in a social and creative environment where they can thrive and further develop their talents.

As well as providing a fun social atmosphere, the Winter Training gives the Team Managers the opportunity to monitor all potential players and see who is performing well and improving before a decision is made about which players should go into the Men's Senior Team in the spring. The selection criteria for either Winter Training squads are: 

• The player must be over 55
  
• The player must have their Home Club in Middlesex
• The player's WAGR Ranking 
• The player's performances in National events (English amateur Championship, etc.)
• The player's performances in County events (Men's County Championship, etc)
• Typically, Handicap Index of 6.4 or better
