RESULTS AND NOTES

Present: RH, MM, PB, PF, DG-M, TH, GA, CD, PL, LW, JG, TM, CM, BY. Guests John Matthews & Jim O’Neil.

Competition was a 4 man team Stableford with the best two scores counting.

Results : No 2s posted.

Duffers : Team D – Brains, Geezer, Crocs and Prof with 72 points. MOHGS handicap to be increased by one.

Runners up : Team B – Cardinal, Burt Kwouk, Two Beers and Scuttler and Team C – Windscale, Dewy, Rabbi & Johnnie with 76 points

Winners : Team A – Jockstrap, John Matthews, Shagpile, and Jim O’Neil with 77 points. MOHGS handicaps to be reduced by one. [were applicable.]

Burt forgotten his minutes book so was unable to carry out his duties as hon. sec. [thus these notes]

Jocks suggested that as we well looked after and the refreshments were very good that the 2s sweep should be handed to the staff.

The Cardinal suggested that as the the runners up sweep wash shared between 2 teams i.e. half the field that this also should be handed to staff which would give a respectable amount for services rendered. This was unanimously agreed and together with a small contribution from the winners sweep was

handed over by Jocks and was gratefully accepted.

The member of Team C in charge of the card had lost it somewhere between the car and the clubhouse. He claimed they had scored 76 points and his integrity was not [seriously] questioned so the score was accepted.

Jocks requested that the Chair or his representative would update the MOHGS handicap board for future use.

Course was ok and the weather was better than expected though the winds were slightly stronger than a seaside breeze presumably due to the antics of Hurricane Caroline.

Dewy wished all the compliments of the season as he was swanning off to Florida for several weeks of less [he hopes] inclement weather.

Next schedule meeting is the Xmas Party on Monday 11th December 2017 which I am sure we are looking forward to good golf good food and drink and a modicum of conviviality.

Thanks to all for your attendance punctuality

APOLOGIES: C.M, T.H, D.F.

The Chair was absent, therefore the Rabbi hopped smartly into the hot seat.

There followed a short discussion après nothing about the pros and cons of circumcision. One of our esteemed members revealed that as a child he was circumcised by the eponymous Dr. Cox.

RESULTS: No 2’s were posted therefore £2 is carried forward. D’soD were the unfortunate Shagpile and Bumpers with 28 points apiece. DDoD was Dewey with 29 points. The runner up was Jocks with a creditable 39 points. This week’s champ with a magnificent 42 points was the indefatigable Brains.

FINANCE: £1.40 was collected in swears. All monies are in the safekeeping of the Rabbi.

Bumpers paid up his swear money owed from last week.

Christmas Party: The Geezer gave a verbal description of progress to date which was virtually a repeat of last week’s email. The cost will be £7.50 per head. Food will be served from 2pm.

Tee times have been reserved by the Rabbi although the Bailiff has managed to interpose his group in the middle of the MOHGS tee times, as is his right as a paying member of the club. The Rabbi did attempt to come to an agreement with the Bailiff to swap times but the Bailiff was not keen. The tee times therefore are as follows: 9.04, 9.12, 9.28 and 9.36.

FOXTON: There are now 16 entrants for the game at Foxton. Ming the Merciless actually attended today’s  meeting late, to apologise in person for having to pull out on Thursday. Jock Strapp will be sending out an email with all the terms and conditions for the game. He has already conducted the draw. The first tee time is 10am but contestants are asked to attend at 9.15-9.30. The meals will be served after the game. The cost per person will be £16 for the all day breakfast and £14 for the soup which includes the cost of the golf.

AOB: Kwok will miss the Seniors match on Wednesday due to a family bereavement and funeral duties in Cumbria.

Dewey will be absent until 12 Jan. He wished all the members a very happy Christmas.

There being no further business, the meeting closed at 1.30pm.

Kwok.
