The County Captain and County Coach, Tony Bowers, invite a number of low handicap golfers to a series of training sessions during the winter months.
The main matches for the First Team are at Midlands South County Match Week in June of each year, when Bucks take on the first teams from Berkshire, Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire, Warwickshire and Worcestershire & Herefordshire.
The squad for County Week is announced after the County Championships. The criteria used for selecting the squad was established a number of years ago and includes previous experience at County Week, performance in the County Championships and/or other England Golf, R&A and International Competitions, attendance at training and general commitment to the county, plus availability.
The winning county from County Week goes forward to Women's County Finals in September, where the winning counties from each of the six regional county weeks play for the title of National County Champions.
