THE MOHGS v THE DIRTY DOZEN.

The day was windy but warm as the contestants gathered for bacon sandwiches in the clubhouse. The Dirty Dozen arrived promptly for the start of play and 2 Beers announced the format of the competition, which was a Four Ball Better Ball matchplay which also included a Stableford element. 2 Beers wished all competitors good luck and the battle commenced in pre-arranged groups.

RESULTS: Jock St.Rappe in his old familiar role of Comp. Sec., compiled the results which were delivered by Captain for the day, 2 Beers. He opened his remarks by saying that golf was a series of tragedies punctuated by the occasional miracle. He thanked the Beamish boys for their sportsmanship and looked forward to the return match. The MOHGS won the contest by a score of 5-1. There was a tie for the overall betterball winners between the pairing of Kwok and Wellend and the duo of the Cardinal and the Geezer with 42 points apiece. The DD winners were Sean(?) and Ian Bailey. The MOHGS runners up were Winscales and Monty.

Jock Strap replied on behalf of the DD and began by thanking 2 Beers for organising the day in impeccable style. He remarked that it had been a hugely enjoyable day although the result was underwhelming. He looked forward to the return match which he hoped would be sometime in September to which all were warmly invited. Information will be revealed in due course.
