With a record of 9 wins, one half and 5 defeats Burghley Park were eager to notch up their 10th win. Team spirit was high after an excellent display against Stoke R. Back in May we had played well only to go down 3-5 at Spalding.
A good start with David Jackson and myself beating Captain Tim Baines an ex Burley Park member and Keith Tompkins two and one with David playing the last few holes quite brilliantly making the difference.
In the second match, Mike Barton and Bill Glencross were two down with 2 to play against former Burgley Park member Mike Stallard and Dave Halfteck. Mike Barton proceeded to birdie the 17th and Chip in at the 18th to grab a half.
Close defeats for Michael Wright and Richard Martyn and Clive Pearce and Keith Duff meant that with three matches to play the result was very much in doubt. Spalding were in fact 3 points to 2 up. However a very good win by Peter Hickman and David Shales and equally good wins by David Devlin and David Court and Rob Sorrell and Richard Cook led BurghleyPark to a 5 to 3 victory and thus our 10th win of the season.
Peter Hickman putting behind the disappointment of his defeat against Stoke Rochford GC won nearest the pin with Jon Guy winning nearest the pin for Spalding.
Yes it was a very good win but once more Golf was the winner as a very convivial match and a very chatty lunch between the two sides left all of us pretty happy.
Onward to a busy week with Middleton Hall on the 30th, at home, and St Neots away on the 31st. Club Captain‘s Away Day will test availability on the 31st.
