The game was organised by Crocs because Morpeth GC was hosting an invitation day.

PRESENT: B.Y, L.W, D.G-M, T.M, D.F, M.S, C.M, F.B, G.A, P.F, J.G(l/e).

RESULTS: Delivered by the Laird who it appears is back to his fighting best after a short period of recuperation following the operation to allow him to collect his winnings more efficiently. He opened by remarking that the weather had been very kind and the course was in good condition. There were no 2’s so the cash was added to the pot. DoD was the unfortunate Brains with 19 points. Winscales was DDoD with a slightly better haul of 26 points. The runner up was Kwok with 34 points. The winner with a mighty 35 points was the aforementioned Laird who nimbly pocketed the cash (kerching), before stressing that today’s game was a one off and the winners would not be pulled, neither would the losers gain shots.

Herbie proposed a vote of thanks to Crocs for organising the event, which was wholeheartedly endorsed by the group.

TOASTS: To 2Beers for standing in at short notice and captaining the MOHGS to their heroic victory over the DD.

To the Geezer who won Saturday’s competition.

BUSINESS: Herbie proposed that all MOHGS should purchase a County Card since the benefits of playing at different courses far outweighed the initial on-cost. There followed a debate on whether or not the expense was justified but no conclusion was reached. This debate has legs and may run for some time.

The Geezer proposed that the MOHGS should all join a ‘What’s App.’ He then proceeded to explain the benefits of such a device for group discussions and deliberations. Head scratching became the order of the day as the technophobes battered the Luddites with a plethora of information. The Chair capitulated in the face of defeat and began to come to terms with the fact that his phone is smarter than he is. The Geezer continued his argument and finished by saying that a County Card plus a What’s App could open up a whole new horizon for the MOHGS. The debate continues.
L.W, P.F, and B.Y apologised in advance for their absence on Monday for Soapy’s Day.

There being no further business, the meeting closed amiably at 3pm.
