2013 County Championship, Mid-Silver Trophy,
Bronze Championship & Lucy Davies Trophy

On a damp and increasingly cold and murky day 39 ladies played at Henley Golf Club in the qualifying rounds of the County Championship (15
over 36 holes) and Mid-Silver Championship (24 over 18 holes).
The conditions were reflected in some of the scores although Jane Tavinor from Oxford Ladies brushed them aside and scored a magnificent nett
69 to win the Mid-Silver scratch prize and the Coronation Silver Medal for the best nett score in the morning out of all 39 ladies.
Jane qualified for the knock-out quarter-finals for the Mid-Silver along with Jan Glover, also from Oxford Ladies, Meg Ashby (Huntercombe),
Sue Russell (Frilford Heath), Helen Cross (Kirtlington, Penny Kendall (Frilford Heath), Muriel Quinsac (Henley), and Loretta Tonna from
Studley Wood.
In the afternoon Millie Anderson, one of the County’s junior players from Badgemore Park, shot the best score of the day, a nett 68, which won
her the 36 hole handicap prize on countback from Sarah Arnold from Henley.
Sam Round, the current holder of the Championship and an affiliate member, won the 36 hole gross score with 159, only one shot ahead of Cara
Gainer (Frilford Heath), another of the County’s junior players.
