Thirteen golfers this morning for the first MOHGS outing of 2025, the Competition Secretary wished all a Happy New Year, reiterated that it was THE one and finally announced that the competition would be singles as thirteen were present!

Two Beers assumed the Chair even though the Chairman had appeared. The Chairman was welcomed and wished a Happy New Year.

Two twos today both at the 8^th, one by Davo that was reported as a jammy chip in, the other by The Cardinal as a traditional on the green tee shot and a put. Both were awarded £1.30.

A very competitive day apparently.

However, the winners of the first competition of 2025 were Ming and The Cardinal with a creditable 45 points. They pocket £4 each.

Handicaps will be adjusted in the accepted method.

Previous Meeting’s Minutes

Accepted as a true record.

Matters Arising

There were no matters arising as no-one could remember the last meeting.

Any Other Business

The Chairman had received correspondence from Soapy, who was in good humour. The Chairman had also visited Soapy in his new abode at Newbiggin by the Sea. Soapy sends the MOHGS his best wishes which were reciprocated by those present.

Captain Geezer reminded the MOHGS to put their names down for the Captain’s Away Day at Beamish on 27 June 2025. He is proposing a Texas Scramble that day which will be interesting!

There being no further business, the Chair closed the meeting at 12.48!
