With temperatures in the high 20s (over 80°F in old money) our friendly against Middleton Hall saw our unbeaten home record disappear. Leading off, with myself, Clive P played his best Front 9 in living memory, simply put he was outstanding and MH Captain Ian Lowry was nonplussed. A 4/3 win with MH winning only 1 hole, the 14th. Sadly this was our only victory of the day despite very good performances from Phil H and George C-J and Mike Barton and Richard Martin gaining creditable halves. Peter H and Charles C did remarkably well to only lose 2 and 1 against some outstanding driving from MH Vice C Mark Platts, who hit a 314 yard drive on the 5th! But Michael E and Alan K and Stephen R and Michael M fell to excellent well below handicap play from their opponents. The Course played well, our most supportive ladies ran an excellent Halfway House, Lunch was as ever of a high standard as was the friendly and efficient service. A big thank you to Patrick who organised nearest the pin, won by Chris Billam of MH, and Sam for his patience and understanding. Middleton Hall were full of praise for the course condition, reception they received from our players and the quality of lunch. Burghley Park is their most favoured Away Fixture. Thank you to all who played.
Paul Vice Captain
