Herbie donned the mantle of chairmanship, he was so authoritative the others may have a challenge at AGM (which is fast approaching)

A field of 13 today, so the competition was singles off full MOHGS handicap!  

Competition Results;

The Stand-In Temporary Competition Secretary announced the results.

No twos today so £2.60 rolled over to next week!

Duffer of the Day was Herbie with 26 points so he receives a welcome 2 shot uplift.

DDoTD was Brains with 29 points.

Runners up and receiving £2 each were The Geezer and Bumpers with 41 points.

However the winner with a score of 42 points was The Emperor, £8 winnings in his pouch.

Obviously, handicaps will be adjusted accordingly.

Swears/absence of Geezer Cards raised £6.20, thanks largely to Herbie who shamed the MOHGS into contributing.

The Temporary Stand In Chairman welcomed Joe Gibson to our fold, his moniker is to be Silver Fox and more fondly as JG(3).

Toasts

Rory McIlroy for winning the Dubai Desert Classic one shot ahead of everyone’s favourite Patrick Reed!!

Last week’s minutes were accepted.

Matters Arising

None

AOB

Johnnie pointed out that next weeks comp. would be for the Christmas Trophy and restricted to 3 clubs and a putter!

The Rabbi advised that Biggles has been transferred to DMRC Stanford Hall on the Nottinghamshire/Leicestershire border for rehabilitation and says Biggles is enjoying it! MOHGS send him our best wishes.

Crocs has seen Shagpile who sends MOGS his good wishes and hopes to see us soon.

The Geezer became animated over the Green Course, (better than the Green Mile). He suggested that MOHGS should play off the green course when green course cards were available. The Chair clarified that this should only be during the winter season! It was agreed if and when Green Course Cards are available the MOHGS would play off the Green Tees during winter.

The Chair suggested that in the absence of Geezer Cards all players should pay 40p into the coffers! Was this put to a vote and agreed?? I await clarification.

The Geezer attempted to con a pint out of the Silver Fox however the cunning fellow was having none of it!

The meeting closed at 1.03pm

Competition Results;

The Stand-In Competition Secretary announced the results.

Three twos today at the 1^st and 8^th by Two Beers

At 14^th by Herbie.

Herbie offered congratulations to all the MOHGS who had received letters from the club handicap committee advising of a handicap reduction.

Slight irony detected in tone?

The Christmas Competition will take place on 6^th February, when the Laird should be back from his trip down under!

The Chairman galloped through the meeting so it closed at 12.40!

Ming wished all MOHGS ‘Happy Chinese New Year’ The year of the Rabbit, ostensibly the luckiest of all twelve animals in Chinese astrology.

Let’s hope it is a lucky year for the MOHGS.

Toasts: Welcome back to our holiday makers. El Matador for winning last weeks Seniors. The Falcons for their great win and a spurious toast to some Owls. Not accepted by the meeting.

AOB   The Geezer proposed the ruling on unclaimed twos going into the coffers be rescinded as he missed the opportunity of getting excited at roll over.

 After much discussion the vote was in favour of the proposal.

This week it appeared was fancy dress. Two Beers and Brains competing for the Davy Crocket hat award. El Matador had his waders on and Geezer was taking precautions with a condom on his head.

A reminder that the Christmas plate would be played on Monday 6^th February.
