Attracting both International and Walker Cup Players, the Selborne Salver is one of Britain's premier amateur tournaments and has been played in its present form at Blackmoor since 1976.
Some wonderful golf has been played over the past forty-five years and with an abundance of high-quality players attracted to the tournament, there have been plenty of luminaries amongst the winners.
Salver champions include, Peter McEvoy, Scott Drummond, Ross Fisher, Mark Burgess (Blackmoor), and more recently Andy Sullivan and Matthew Fitzpatrick.
The open thirty-six-hole scratch event is linked with the Hampshire Hog, which is played the next day at North Hants. The player with the lowest 72-holes total receives the Hampshire Salver, a trophy presented by the Hants, Isle of Wight and Channel Islands Golf Union.
----------STOP PRESS-------- IMPORTANT INFORMATION----------
The Selborne Salver/Hampshire Salver 2025 will be played on Friday 11th & Saturday 12th April
This year, North Hants are carrying out extensive course renovation and therefore will not be available. Blackmoor is pleased to announce that in order to maintain a 4-round tournament for the Hampshire Salver and it's status as a World Ranking Event we will host both days. Therefore, 36 Holes will be played on our course on Friday 11th April and another 36-Holes on Saturday 12th April as normal. As is tradition, The Selborne Salver will still be a stand-alone 36-Hole competition. Friday’s event will also be a separate 36-Hole Competition.
Please Note – We are only accepting entries for players committing to both days.
