Scratch Team 2018 - Directors cup v Burghley Park GC (a) 17th March 2018 Burghley Park 2 vs PMGC 4 A strong Milton line-up travelled to Burghley for the annual curtain raiser to the season. Played in sub zero temperatures, it was very much survival of the fittest. Milton prevailed making this the 6th victory in a row to bring the Trophy back. Wins from Tom Burgh and Mark Phillips at the top of the order put us off to a great start but we were then pegged back with Jamie Hibbert/Nathan Holt and Mick Bentley and myself losing matches on the “last” hole. 2:1 down. However the tail wagged with the last three matches going to Milton. Dom Ralfs/Chris White won down the last and Chris Savage/Sam Ludlow won 3 & 2. Special mention to Phil Hughes and Richard Cole who won by the biggest margin of 5 & 4. Lets hope this is the start of a great season, just with some warmth! Martin Herson (Captain)
