A momentous event in the MOHGS history occurred today when the Scuttler achieved a hole in one on the 14th hole. Congratulations were extended from all the members. Unfortunately the Scuttler had to do a runner after the game but he left a bottle of Scotch and was well toasted by the brethren.

RESULTS: Today’s game was the MOHGS Championship, played off the white tees for the coveted Chalice. The winner was the aforementioned and ever popular Scuttler with 39 well deserved points. He also scooped the 2’s kitty with his hole in one. Total prize money of £14.20 is in the safekeeping of the Rabbi. DoD was Soapy with a meagre 20 points. Shagpile with 22 points was the DDoD. Brains was the worthy runner up with 37 points.

£3 was collected in swears and £3.60 was raised from the Geezers cards.

Kwok and the Chair were fined 50p apiece for failing to wear the MOHGS mufti.

TOASTS: To the Geezer who was a member of the winning team in a recent Chamber of Trade match.

To the Chair who was second in the match at Arcot hall and scooped a whole host of respectable prizes.

To Wales and Iceland for performing admirably in the European Championships.

LAST WEEKS MINUTES ACCEPTED.

MATTERS ARISING: The Geezer was finally paid his overdue £3 from the tin and now the whole sorry episode can be laid to rest.

BEAMISH: There are 15 enthusiastic members who are signed up to play next Monday, 11 July. Only 8 members of the dirty dozen are available so some MOHGS may be required to change allegiance for the day. Bumpers volunteered to jump ship since he is still short of a jumper. F.B as a past member of Beamish also intimated that he would be willing to join the DD.

Jocks appealed for all competitors to arrive at 9am. The first tee time is at 9.40. Breakfast will be served from 9am. The green fees will be £12ish. A Betterball / Stableford competition will be organised. Two buggies have been ordered for Shagpile and Soapy.

There being no other business, the meeting closed at 2.05.
