The Rabbi assumed the Chair in the absence of the Chair who it was thought was at some inconvenience with Thomas Cook!

The Scribe did a runner and left the FD with the task of recording events.

Competition Results;

No twos today, £2.60 in the hands of the FD for next week.

Duffer of the Day was Shagpile with 22 points.

Deputy Duffer was The Geezer with 25 points, who was none too happy with Shaggers because he had hoped for a lift of 2 shots.

Runners up with 33 points were Winscale and Bumpers who get £2 each.

However the morning’s winner was Kwock, who was not there to receive the accolades or the £9 winnings. Safely pouched by The Laird as was Bumpers winnings. He claims that they will be paid out when next seen!

Handicaps will be adjusted accordingly.

Swears gleaned £4.30 and Geezers Cards £3.60.

Last weeks minutes were agreed. There had been however an exchange of e-mails over the Comp. Secs. playful interpretation of handicap adjustments. Hobson’s Chippy had sent an e-mail thanking MOHGS for their hospitality.

Toasts

Last week Solhiem Cup Team, England Cricket Team, Ben Stokes.

This week Danny Willets and some scientist who has discovered the obesity gene while working in Greggs!!

Johnnie is looking for short clubs, it was unclear if he has shrunk or he required them for a shorter member of his family. Anyone who can help bring the said clubs next week.

The Geezer proposed, seconded by Winscale, that in future for singles competitions the groupings should be threes and twos no fourballs should be played. The teller noted four votes for the proposal and two against. The Competition Cabal viewed this as a good suggestion but immediately demanded another vote because the result was not to their satisfaction. It was suggested by Brains that the decision should be deferred until 31 October!!! Remind anyone of anything.

The meeting then sank into despair and closed at 1.20pm

PRESENT: B.D, F.B, C.M, P.F, J.G, P.L, P.B, D.F, A.B-W, M.S, D.G-M, M.M, T.H, L.W.

RESULTS: The game was an overwhelming success, with victory for the first time going the way of the MOHGS. The team with the highest points haul was the Rabbi and Kwok with a mighty 47 points. The Straggler and Cardinal were second. The winners will be pulled by 2 shots apiece.

The Laird thanked all competitors for their attendance, sportsmanship and good humour. The Hobson captain replied on behalf of the visitors and remarked upon the good condition of the course before extending an invitation for a return march. The Chairman thanked all participants and commended the Laird and the Hobson captain for their joint organisation of a very successful day.

APOLOGIES: From all not present.

RESULTS: Today’s game was a four ball better ball. Only one 2 recorded by the Rabbi on the 8th, scoops the whole pot of £1.60.

TOASTS: To Nick Mason, the former drummer of Pink Floyd who used his considerable fortune to save Bolton Wanderers from departing the Football league.
