Competition Results;

Only one two recorded on the 8^th by Bumpers who would have pocketed the spoils but Crocs was quick to collect the cash with a claim that he would pass it on. There should be £2.40 heading to Bumpers.

Duffers of the Day with a measley 36points were The team of Prof and Rabbi, they will get a handicap increase of 1 shot.

Deputy Duffers were not announced.

Joint runners up with 41 points were The Matador and Scuttler, together with Shotgun and Herbie. They received £1 each.

However, the undisputed champions for this week were Bumpers and Crocs with a quite magnificent score of 45 points. Considering this was the first game of the season off the proper tee boxes into a gale, this was an epic performance. Of course, they will suffer a shot reduction of their handicaps, they pocketed £4 each.

In the absence of Geezers Cards all players were asked to contribute so £2.40 collected.

Swears made £2.20, clearly either not enough swearing or not enough honesty!

Toasts:

To St. George.

Previous minutes were agreed as a correct record.

Matters Arising None

Rabbi announced that Biggles and Friends were playing as many courses as possible in the north of Scotland on Summer solstice in aid of McMillan Nurses and he asked for donations from fellow MOHGS. It was agreed that individuals would contribute directly to the Rabbi.

Brains advised that Hunley Hall appears to have been renovated and PB agreed to look for dates either Sunday/Monday or Monday/Tuesday

Herbie advised that there was a very challenging golf course at Whitley Bay, evidenced by Croc’s photo. He agree to make enquiries for an away day with 2 for 1 vouchers.

No progress with an overnight at Foxton, Geezer to follow up.

Message from Jockstrap re Dirty Dozen had been received, the date offered of 11 June was difficult with trip to Chester-le-Street and holidays. PB to request new date from Jocks.

Next Monday will be the long postponed Chairman’s Quaich. Shotgun apologised.

Members were also reminded that the following Monday (i.e. 7 May) we would be playing off the White tees as is custom on the first Monday of the Month.
