TOASTS: To Andy Sullivan who won the South African Open.

LAST WEEK’S MINUTES WERE ACCEPTED AS A TRUE RECORD apart from the wording relating to the playing for the CHAIRMAN’S Quaich, which should have been—-” might be possible to play on MONDAY,”——– rather than, ” if possible on a Monday.”

DALMAHOY: There was much discussion about when was the most expedient time for the visit. It was generally agreed that there would never be a time when all MOHGS would be available. The Cardinal with his usual aplomb decided to cut to the chase and declared that he would make arrangements to book the venue for May 17 and if this was not possible he would try for May 10. All participants are requested to email the Cardinal by Wednesday to register their intention to attend.

The proposed visit to Hunley Hall is to be bottomed out next week.

A.O.B: The Comp. Sec. revealed that he was willing to arrange an away day to Beamish. At the moment a round of golf plus a bowl of soup and a roll was available for £10/person. However this deal was not available on Mondays.

The Rabbi was not happy with the interpretation of the rule for 6 shots or more on a hole. He claimed that by continuously putting, a player might gain unfair advantage, by finishing first on the hole and relegating others to be last, thereby collecting the card. Mr. B. H will give the matter great thought and make a pronouncement next week.

Crocs announced that the deal at the Bridle Path was available until the end of March and that he was willing to book the venue if anyone was interested.

The tee times for next week are unchanged—— 8.48, 8.56 and 9.04.

There being no other business, the meeting closed at 1.20pm.
