Two Beers addressed the meeting as Chair. He welcomed back The Laird from his missionary work in the Antipodes. He also thanked JG(1) for standing in as deputy Competition Secretary so well. This was acknowledged by the assembled crowd!

Fifteen competed for the coveted Christmas Plate, a singles competition using only 3 clubs of choice plus a putter off full MOHGS handicap!  

Competition Results;

Before announcing the results The Competition Secretary personally thanked JG(1) for standing in manfully as the Competition Secretary for so many weeks.

Duffer of the Day was Ming with 26 points  

DDoTD was Two Beers with 28 points.

In third place and receiving £2 was The Rabbi with 41 points

Runner up and receiving £3 each was Johnnie with 42 points.

However the winner and recipient of the Christmas Shield was Davo with 43 points. Also £10 winnings as if the trophy was not enough.

Obviously, handicaps will be adjusted accordingly.
