DD’soD were Dewey and Crocs with 43 points. Runners up were the Prof and the Laird with 51 points. This week’s winners with an impressive 53 points were the dream team of Brains and 2Beers.

FINANCE: £5 in Swears. £2.50 in fines for non-wearing of MOHGS uniform on first Monday of the month. £2.20 in Geezers cards. Is the swears total a new record???

LAST WEEKS MINUTES ACCEPTED IN THEIR ENTIRETY.

The Scuttler was welcomed back to the fold after his recent successful operation. He was feeling thwarted after buying a new range of winter golfing clothes with the highest TOG rating only to be informed by the doctor that he will be out of action for the next several months.

BUSINESS: The Chair thanked all the members who had taken the trouble to contact him regarding current h/caps. He confirmed that he is on the case and no stone will be left unturned in his efforts to update the system with the correct information before next week’s game.

*Jock Strap returned the Quaich for engraving and only the Christmas Plate is outstanding and will no doubt be returned next week.

*The Chair announced that he is willing to retain his position in the hot seat for another year, but he is more than willing to step aside to allow any new pretender the opportunity to come through the ranks and take over the reins of the society. He was informed that he is by far the best Chair we have ever had and that no one had feet big enough to fill his ample boots.

*The members were informed that it was not possible to be penalised with two Geezers cards for one errant shot.

* The Laird opined that it seemed unfair to fine members 50p for not wearing MOHGS jumpers, when there were other members who didn’t own regulation gear who were not fined. Bumpers has ordered jumpers and is still waiting. The Chair was unwilling to waive today’s fines but would take orders next week from those who did not have jumpers and use his influence with the supplier to ensure the delivery was promptly dispatched.

* The Geezer will be absent next week but ordered an XL Black jumper.

*Jock Strap will be unable to play in his game at the Seniors this Wednesday and appealed for someone to take his place. His tee time is 9.52ish.

* The Chair reported that he had recently spoken to the President and he is still recovering from his bout of flu but hopeful that he will attend next week’s AGM.

* The Rabbi hopes to have more information about the Seniors Open and will report back next week.

There being no further business, the meeting closed at 1pm.
