Fourteen golfers this fine morning, exercised the Competition Secretary’s mind. He came up with a pairs competition off 90% MOHGS Handicap.

The Chairman opened proceedings.

Swears raised £7.00.

Geezer Cards £3.20.

Results

The Competition Secretary was challenged after some players failed to recognise with whom they were paired!!!

One two today at the 4^th by Herbie, another at the 8^th by Winker.

They share £2.80.

DOD were Two Beers and The Laird, and Rabbi and Herbie with 32 points; they get a 1-shot uplift.

DDOD were Minty and Crocs, with 37 points.

Runners up were The Geezer and Cardinal, Davo and Johnnie, and Brains and Ming with 38 points; they all get £1.

However, today’s winners were Winker and Silver Fox with 40 points, they get £4 each and a 1-shot reduction.

Toasts

Previous Meeting’s Minutes

Accepted as a true record.

Matters Arising

Nothing.

Any Other Business

The Competition Secretary magnanimously apologised to Ming for insisting he had played off the wrong handicap two weeks previously. On inspection he noted that Ming had played off the right handicap.

The Cardinal observed that Ming had this morning left his club (5 wood apparently) on the 16^th tee box after taking personal relief.

He was reunited with the club halfway down the 16^th fairway!

There being no further business, the Chair closed the meeting at 12.58 pm.
