Well, after our 8 -0 victory when P'boro Milton came to Burghley earlier this year, we were looking for a reasonable result - at least 7½ - ½ - to ensure the Series Win. It was bright but windy and as usual the super-fast greens were going to challenge our short games.
Javan and I were coasting after 10, 3 up after both getting a birdie on a par 3. Then the opposition opened fire with 5 pars in 6 holes, three of those with shots given, and we could do no better than halve the rest to lose 2 and 1. Hard to imagine, but true; never be complacent on the golf course.
Thankfully three matches were halved and Phil and Clive brought home the only win of the day, to give us a 2½ - 5½ loss and overall a 10½ - 5½ season result.
The food was delicious. For Burghley, David Devlin pipped me for NTP on 11 and Kevin Julian won the wine for PM on 16.
