Competition Results;

No twos posted so £2.20 carried forward to next week together with £1.60 from 5 Sept.

Duffer of the Day was The Geezer with 23 points. Deputy Duffer was The Matador with 26 points.

In joint second place were The Chair, The Laird, Winscale, and Crocs with 34 points, however the winner and champ for the week was Jocks with a magnificent 37 points. A truly wonderful exhibition of chipping and putting!

Handicaps to be adjusted as per the rules of MOHGS.

The Laird won the outstanding (timewise not quality) Quaich semi-final and will proceed into a final against Jocks. To be arranged quickly.

Geezers Cards were in play;

A total of £2.80 collected.

Swears made £2.60p.

Tee times booked for next week.

Toasts to ? Sinclair for keeping his tour card for next year.

The Matador proposed that the MOHGS purchase a new seat for the 18^th green. Much discussion ensued with erudite contributions from The Laird (Could the MOHGS make a seat?), The Geezer (We would be depriving bereaved family from buying a seat in memory of a loved one), The Cardinal (We could build one out of broken tees!?) Jocks seconded the proposal but it was defeated by the Chairs casting vote twice!

The Christmas Party was discussed briefly. The message being that we should support the club, but as The Chair pointed out we do support the club all year round not just at Christmas!!

Shagpile has arranged a game against Bedlington at Bedlington on Tuesday 11 October. Those wishing to play please advise Shaggers to enable him to select his best side.

Jocks pointed out that the last Monday in October was Halloween, maybe some outgoing MOHGs would want to dress up. Others were already scary enough.

AGM/Presentation day to be first Monday in 2017.

The Cardinal announce a prolonged absence because of a visit to USA. He may be back for ‘Trick or Treat’ on 31 October. With that in mind he passed the Two’s money and the Quaich winning to one of the finalists, Jocks.

The meeting disintegrated at 1.30pm.
