The Laird announced the tee times for Friday at Newbiggin for the RNLI golf day, 9.30 and 9.40am. There is still one place available. He reminded everyone that Morpeth was fully booked that day so if golf was to be played it would be only available at Newbiggin. Cost is £25.

The Geezer proposed that if no two’s were scored, the pot should go to those scoring 4 points on a hole. Tumbleweed was seen and no seconder appeared!

Next Monday will be the Bob Hallett Memorial, hopefully Simon will be here, and his green fees will be paid for by the MOHGS. Trophy is ready, the format will be decided by The Laird.

Kwok was excited be the presence of crows at the 12^th tee. He claimed one had opened Johnnie’s bag and interfered with his water bottle. Another, (or was it the same, they all look alike) accessed Two Beers golf bag and pulled out the bunker card! Fortunately, the bird dropped it when challenged.

On that note the meeting closed at 13.10.
