On a dry, breezy and overcast morning 12 golfers appeared, many sleep deprived. A natural number for a 4BBB, which was accordingly chosen by the Comp Sec. Full MOHGS handicaps, gimmes from 1 foot.

Herbie acted as Chairperson, with Johnnie press ganged as scribe. 

Swears and Geezer card sums were not recorded, the scribe’s first gaffe.

No 2s.

DOD were Sparky and Ginger with 30 points; their reward being a one shot uplift.

4th Geezer and Herbie with 36 points

3rd Rabbi and Laird with 37 points

2nd Johnnie and Brains with 38 points. £2 each

Toasts

Padraig Harrington for winning the US Seniors Open for a record-equalling 3rd time.

Jude Bellingham for an outstanding performance for the England soccer team.

Closer to home, Ayla, another of the Laird’s athletic granddaughters, being selected for the under-13 800m for Northumberland. 

Previous minutes

Accepted as a true record

AOB

Herbie will shortly be circulating joining notes to those MOHGS who are going to the City on Friday the 24th of July.

A rambling discussion ensued about the distribution of Geezer cards when a better ball is being played and players pick up. It was concluded with a consensus that it should be left the discretion of the playing group with a reminder from the Chair that Geezer cards are meant to be light-hearted FUN.

Apologies for next week from Johnnie.

Meeting closed

With the agenda exhausted, at 12:57.
