Gales Hockley

The Gales Hockley 'Invitation' competition is the premier Men's over 50's competition in Hampshire, and has been held annually since 1971.

Celebrating the 52nd playing of the Gales Hockley, the 2024 event will see 41 Golf Club's from across Hampshire (and in some cases Clubs from nearby Counties which border Hampshire) battle it out to be winners of the Men's over 50's knock-out competition.

The competition culminates in a final, which is held in September each year at Hockley Golf Club (unless the Hockley team is in the final - in which case a neutral venue is found).

The individual qualification for the competition is that competitors must have attained the aged of 50 by the date of the draw - which  will be held on Thursday 22nd February 2024. 

Each team will consist of 9 players per side, with a maximum individual handicap allowance of 16, and a total team 'Aggregate Handicap' limit of 82 for the 9 players.
