A strong field of under 18’s from
Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire played at Castle Royle on 8th April for the BB&O
Championship Title. The tight fairways,
numerous bunkers and fast greens, made the course a real challenge. There
were 37 players in the main competition, with just 6 from Oxfordshire and 12
from Berkshire, 8
girls played in the Stableford competition of whom
4 were from Oxfordshire. One of the
youngsters from Buckinghamshire certainly had a day to remember she played to
12 – half her handicap and had a nett 64. The
Oxfordshire girls didn’t fare quite so well but Flora McPhail had a good
round with a nett 74, Cara Gainer’s otherwise solid
round was spoilt by an 11 on one hole and she ended up with a nett 77. Sophie
Stone won the 2nd handicap prize with a nett
73 and Olivia Herring won the stableford
competition for girls with handicaps over 30 with 32 points. The
Championship winner for the second year running was Zoe Fitz-Costa from
Buckinghamshire with a gross 77. On
another positive note, on handicap, all except one of our 6 entrants finished
in the top 16 and on the gross score we had 3 players in the top 8 with
Buckinghamshire taking the other 5 spots. Buckinghamshire’s
team of Zoe Fitz-Costa, Chloe Li and Lucy Matthews won the team event with a nett score of 148 (2 best scores from the team of
3). Oxfordshire’s team of Gemma
Clements, Sophie Stone and Cara Gainer were second with a nett
150. |
