The Midlands South Regional Championships are being played this week from 12th to 14th July at The Oxfordshire Golf Club. The format for the event is the same as the County Championships - 36 hole strokeplay qualifying with the top 16 going through to the matchplay stage.
In Monday morning's first qualifying round, first of the 33 players out was Tilly Magill from Woburn who shot a 65 to break the current course record by 3 shots. This helped the Oxfordshire team to take the County Shield with a score of 295, beating the other five county teams from Berks, Bucks, Northants, Warwicks and Worcs & Hereford by a margin of 15 shots. There are five Oxfordshire players among the 16 qualifiers for the knockout stage.
Well done to Jess Burrows (Ellesborough) who won the Intermediate Prize. Jess, along with Steph Gough (Ellesborough), Annabel Dimmock and Zoe Fitz-Costa (both Beaconsfield) all qualified for the knockout stage. Annabel will play Zoe in the first round today, a repeat of this year's County Championships final.
The semi-final will be played tomorrow morning followed by the final in the afternoon.
