APOLOGIES: P.F.  G.W. H.C. T.M. A.L. B.Y. Note : K.S. Played but left before the meeting.

RESULTS: No 2s posted therefore the proceeds were handed over to the Cardinal for safe keeping. Duffers of the Day were Team Crocs\Shagpile [C.M.\ M.M.] with  a miserly 34 points. Their handicaps will be increased by 1 to 12 & 15 respectively. In joint 2nd place with 38 points were Teams Jocks \ Rabbi [R.H. \ P.L.] The Cardinal \ The Laird [P.B. \ D.F.] & Paxo \ Shotgun [A.B-W. \ J.P. ] and the overall winners were Team Straggler \Brains [F.B \ J.G.]  with a respectable 40 points and will have their handicaps reduced by 1 to 9 & 29.

TOASTS: To “Paxo” on his 1st of and [we hope] many sorties with the Mohgs.

To Andy Murray  for his victory over Novak Djokovic.

The Tigers for their wily efforts in restricting the Wolves to a share of the points in their own back yard.

Australian Jason Day for his victory in the last “major” of the season – The US PGA.

LAST WEEKS MINUTES were accepted as a true record though the Straggler spluttered something about Geoff Ainsley’s nickname [Windscale] of which there was in fact no mention in the minutes.
