Deputy Duffers of the day  Frank Beaton  & Keith Suddaby

Runner Up    Chris Minto

Champion Golfer of the Day          The ever popular John Gibson

Handicaps to be adjusted accordingly

There was no meeting as the Chairman did a runner, fortunately he forgot to take the Swear Box and the Two’s Box which are in the safe possession of the Cardinal.

Soapy announced that he would have to give his apologies for a number of weeks as he and Margaret were heading South for Autumn, they were wished Bon Voyage.

The Chair would also be absent for a couple of Monday’s (How will MOHGS cope without the ‘Executive’?)

The Cardinal will not be playing next Monday but would be in the Clubhouse on the MOHGS return.

He will also be missing for a further Monday in Italy!!|

I think that covers all happenings apart from visit to Hunley Sunday 5 October for an overnighter. Please let me know definites by Friday at the latest.

The Cardinal

PRESENT: F.B, P.B, J.G, R.H, P.L, C.M, H.C, E.E.

APOLOGIES : D.F, K.S, P.F, G.W, A.L.

RESULTS : There were 8 participants on the day therefore the comp. sec. implemented a Betterball competition for the day. Two 2s achieved today both by Jocks [R.H.] on 8th using an 8 iron and 14 using a 4 iron. The 2s sweep of £3.40 including roll over was shared between Jocks and his playing partner Jethro.

Duffers of the Day was once again the current champion – Brains [J.G.] and his playing partner – The Rabbi [P.L.] who managed to accumulate a paltry 34 points and handicaps were lifted to 32 and 17 respectively.

Runners up was the team of Jocks [R.H.] and Jethro [E.E.] with a score of 40 points who were pipped by the winners – Chairman Straggler [F.B.]and the Cardinal [P.B.] with 41 points.

TOASTS: Team G.B & N.I. Athletics for accumulating the most medals in the European Championship, the England Ladies Cricket and Rugby Union teams who both became World Champions and the team, fans and representatives of Manchester City F.C. for the respect shown on sunday at St James Park for the two NUFC fans who sadly lost their lives in the aircraft disaster over Ukraine.

LAST WEEKS MINUTES : Accepted as a true record

BUSINESS: The Chairman listed the requests recieved for Mohgs Polo Shirts.
The chair also queried the the fact that no handicap penalty was given to 2nd place even though each recieved the princely sum of £1 to which the Comp. Sec. responded by referring the Chair to the current rules in betterball competition and added that any winner of the 2s purse received no handicap penalty even though it was invariably greater than the Betterball runners up prize prize.

The Cardinal had suggested that the most likely date for Hunley Hall was Sunday 5th October. However Crocs said this was depend on NUFC fixtures that weekend and would investigate and report back. [Note from Jocks: – fixture list states that NUFC play Swansea City away on saturday 4th October 2014. Also the proposed away trip to Hull for the combined football\golf extravaganza may be a “non starter” as the current date for the match is 31st January 2014 which may be risky weatherwise for golf.

Swears : £? Handed to the treasurer including £0.50 from Jocks who was duped into contributing in excess of his rightful debt due to his lack of the correct amount of change. Jocks stated that sculduggery and creative accounting had come to the fore!!

Tee times next Monday as usual – 8.40,8.48 and 8.56 am

Apologies for next Monday : R.H, E.E.

No further busines so meeting closed at 13.35 p.m.

Runner up was Crocs [C.M.] on 30 points [rev. H’cp. 10] and the winner was Chairman Straggle [F.B.] with a  score of 33 points [ rev. H’cp. 7]. It was intimated that the derisory scores  were at least partially caused by the aftermath of Hurricane Bertha making playing conditions somewhat difficult.

My Dearest Fellow Mohgs,

The Hon. Sec. “Bert Kwok” somewhat belatedly and to the astonishment of the assembled Mohgs announced that he would not be taking minutes for today’s meeting on account of his trip to Surrey tomorrow left him little time to carry out his duties.Following procrastinations and recriminations chairman “Straggler” asked for a volunteer to carry out these duties to which there was “nil” response.Further pleadings and I might add a little bit of arm twisting from Soapy in his usual eloquent manner suggested that as he had been substitute on previous occasions the  Comp. Sec. “Jock St. Trappe should once again take over the mantle. JST responded that he will of course be carrying out his duties as normal in distributing the minutes and providing the up-dated Results Records but felt that other duties should be shared in a more democratic manner. However this being the annual Mohgs Championship Day  also felt that it was unthinkable that the day’s events should not be recorded and as it appears that nobody else could be a***d [see previous minutes re Polo shirts for translation]confirmed that despite that he would be leaving early tomorrow morning for the fair county of Yorkshire for a short Golfing Break would not be taking minutes but would try and cobble something together on return based upon my suspect memory so the results of my unguaranteed efforts follow below.

Comp. Sec.

THE MOHGS CHAMPIONSHIP DAY

PRESENT: F.B, P.B, D,F, P.F, J.G, R.H, P.L, C.M, K.S, G.W, H.C, T.H.

APOLOGIES : E.E, A.L.

RESULTS : The Were two 2s were posted by by the Straggler and the Comic both on the 17th and share the 2s pot including roll over.

Special prizes for Championship Day were donated by Crocs and results were :- Front 9 – Soapy; Back 9 – il matador; Best and most scantily dressed [on the course] – The Maltese Falcon.

Duffer of the Day was the Comic [D.F.] the outgoing champion whose score of 27 points [rev. H’cp. 15] reflected his  appropriate nick-name  as could be said for the Deputy Duffer – Crocs who managed to muster 28 points [rev. H’cp. – 11.

Joint runners up were The Straggler [F.B.] and the Rabbi [P.L.] with a creditable score of 34 points [ rev. H’cp. 9 & 16 respectively only to be pipped by the distinguished and popular Mohgs Champion of 2014 – Brains [J.G.] with 35 points [rev. H’cp. -29] who was presented as is customary with the chalice by the previous winner – The Comic [D.F.] followed by by the heartiest congratulations from all. Brains probably responded at this juncture but I can’t remember!

TOASTS: To Brains for his victory in the championship, Crocs for his generosity and foresight in providing additional prizes for the championship and Rory who always gets toasted for something.

LAST WEEKS MINUTES : Accepted as a true record

BUSINESS: The Chairman said the price of the Mohgs Polo shirts were as previously stated and members should e mail their requirements to himself.

The Bowling Day on the 7th August is cancelled due to lack of support. D.F. To investigate an alternative date.

Contrary to the comments in the previous minutes it appears that there is interest in an overnighter at Hunley Hall at a later date. The cardinal confirmed that he has washed his hands of any input into the organisation of this event or the Xmas party! Chair to discuss with the said cardinal and report back.

Swears money of £?? Handed to the treasurer.

Tee times next Monday as usual – 8.40,8.48 and 8.56 am

Meeting closed sometime Monday pm
