Kwock took the Chair, to the manor born!

Fourteen players, the Competition Secretary exercised his mind yet again and dreamed up a pairs competition with a difference, where one didn’t play with one’s partner!! Both scores to be added together.

Competition Results;

Two twos recorded today, The Scuttler and Crocs at the 4^th , The Geezer and Bumpers at the 14^th. They share £2.80.

Duffers of the Day were Rabbi and Brains with 43 points. One shot uplift.

DDoTD were The Geezer and Bumpers with 55 points but no uplift.

Runners Up were The Cardinal and Monty with 65 points, getting £2 each, and no handicap reduction.

Winners were The Laird and Kwock with 69 points, getting £5 each and a one shot reduction.

The Competition Secretary then dropped the bombshell that the highest and lowest points scorers would receive a one shot adjustment!

Davo scored 39 points and the Rabbi scored 23 points, does that mean The Rabbi gets a two shot uplift??

The Competition Secretary reminded all players to ring their twos!

No Geezer Cards today, swears raised £4.50.

The levy raised £7.

Therefore £11.50 is in The Cardinal’s safe keeping.

Toasts

Matt Fitzpatrick, for winning The RBC Heritage Classic in South Carolina.

Herbie was toasted for winning the Seniors Competition last Wednesday with a non-MOHG (John Davis), he also had a two (one of only three on the day) and also won the domino card!!!!

Money goes to money.

Last week’s minutes were accepted.

No Matters Arising

AOB

The Laird is still 3 golfers short for the trip to Hobson on 19 June, please contact him asap.

The RNLI day at Newbiggin has been brought forward to 9 June, please confirm to The Laird your availability that day.

The Geezer announced that he had been asked to be MGC Captain for 2025 season and had accepted. A first for a MOHG, we wish him well and he can be assured of MOHGS support.

Bumpers suggested that in future MOHGS competitions there should be no ‘gimmies’. After discussion relating to speed of play, it was voted almost unanimously that in future no ‘gimmies’ would be played.

The Rabbi announced that Biggles has completed his rehab at Leicester and has returned home to Elgin. MOHGS wish him well.

The meeting closed at 1.17pm.

The Cardinal observed that today’s meeting only started at 1.05 pm, last weeks meeting finished at 12.50pm! Just an observation.
