This year’s event was hosted by Oxfordshire at Tadmarton Heath Golf Club. An immaculately turned-out course experienced the full gamut of weather with sunshine, heavy rain, hail, strong winds, thunderstorms, and one weather delay making an appearance during the three-and-a-half-day event. Whatever the conditions, the constant was the phenomenal women’s golf from all counties.Aside from the runaway winners, Buckinghamshire, who won all their matches, it was a closely fought event this year wi...

This is all in preparation for County Match Week at Harewood Downs, Buckinghamshire in June. Martin Woodbridge, Director of Golf at Badgemore Park, continues to support...
An enforced player withdrawal overnight saw an early breakfast discussion of how best to reconfigure the day's team. It meant a final new foursomes pairing was introduced, and despite the last minute changes the team took everything in their stride producing a set of really close and well contested matches. Yet again the team was strongly supported by OLCGA members as caddies and spectators. Caroline Johnson secured a half in her match, and with that became the "most valuable player" of th...
New foursomes pairings for day two as we chased our first win of the tournament. Happily, that came in the morning session, and also saw our debutants both claiming their first CMW victories.

Day 2 AM - WarwickshireThe team was led out by foursomes pairings Kate Evans and Alex Howe, followed by Annie Gowing and Tracy Roberts, with Lydia Avann, Lara Murphy, and Caroline Johnson playi...

We are also grateful to those who have given up their time to help the team b...
Day 3 AM - BerkshireThe last day of County Match Week saw Oxfordshire come up against Berkshire in their final match - after two days the counties were very close in points and it was therefore a crucial contest to see who would ultimately fare better in the final table. Once again the foursomes parings of Caroline/Tracy and Kate/Elizabeth led the way - having proved themselves as formidable combinations by winning both matches on Day 2, the two pairings were once again victorious, finishing ...
