TAMS results are like buses- none for a while then 3 come at once!

/

Owing to holidays and David W being 'mal de combat' here is a catch up with the rest of the July TAMS results.

14th July:   George Raeburn was first with an impressive nett 29. Ken Davey and Steve Farrar could not be separated for second with nett 32s. John Forsyth was nearest the pin at the 7th.

21st July:  Nett 29 again took first place for Sandy Macfarlane with John Burnett returning a nett 31 for second. Richard Edmonds eagled the 8th while Brian Robson birdied 7 and was nearest the pin. Jim Cutler played his first TAMS round.

28th July: Despite the excellent condition of the course, scoring was on the high side. Nett 35 took first place for Harvey Robertson on count back from Sandy Macfarlane. No birdies were recorded and John Forsyth was nearest the pin at the 7th.

TAMS Results July 7th

/

20 souls turned out today. Bill Hardcastle ( who was seen practising the previous evening ) came first with 21 Stableford points, beating Sandy Macfarlane on count back. Bill also birdied the fourth. Alan Urquhart was nearest the pin at the 7th.

Unfortunately David Wallace will be out of action for some time with a damaged shoulder so the birdie count will drop - saving on the ball budget!

TAMS present the Club with £300 for Junior Golf Develoment

/

As Membership Convenor I feel it is vitally important for the long term success of the Club that we attract and develop as many junior players as possible. I was delighted to hear that the TAMS are continuing to support Junior Golf development and have presented a cheque for £300 for this purpose. On behalf of the Captain and Committee I would like to thank our Senior players for investing in the future of Peebles Golf Club.

Different day - same acronym!

/

Due to the Ladies competition this Thursday the TAMS played on Tuesday this week but the same  acronym applied! Perhaps due to a few senior moments only 12 players competed.

David Wallace had an excellent gross 36 (nett 29) to lift first place. Sandy Macfarlane beat John Forsyth - both nett 30 - on count back but John had the satisfaction of being nearest the pin at the 7th.

Next Thursday the TAMS play for the Roddy McAlpine Gavel - the result of which is not declared until the Christmas Lunch.

TAMS Result for Thursday 26th May

/

There was an excellent turn-out of 21 on a cold damp day. The scores continued to impress,again thanks to the fine greens and ever-quicker fairways. The clear winner was Joe Nisbet with a nett 27. Bill Hardcastle was second with a nett 32 and he was followed by a closely packed field on nett 33,34 and 35.

The inviting pin position and the following wind on No 7 yielded 2 birdies;our elder statesman Steve Baczkowski, at age 89, showed us how to do it along with Tony Kinder who also won the nearie at No 7. David Wallace managed a birdie at No 9 thanks to two big hits to the front edge.

Next week we play on Tuesday as there is a Ladies Competition on Thursday.

Thursday 19th May result.

/

On a cool day day we had an excellent turn out. The running fairways and the fast-improving greens produced some very low scores.

in first place was John Burnett with a nett 28, followed in second place by Harvey Robertson with a nett 30. There was a log jam of scores right behind them. 

Nearest the pin at No 7 was John Burnett. The scorer was however perplexed by this when he saw that John had in fact recorded a bogey 4 at No 7. The sad tale unfolded that a putt of just a few inches for a birdie 2 somehow resulted in a three-putt bogey. Such is golf!!

Despite the excellent greens no birdies were recorded.

TAMS 5th May - Happy significant birthday Andy Tucker!

/

The fast improving golf course and the slightly warmer weather brought out the best in the TAMS today. 

Scores were extremely good and today's winner with 28 Stableford points was Peter Barclay. Gordon Smith was second with 25 points, closely chased by George Raeburn and Jim McAuslin Eric Ward birdied No 9 and Bill Hardcastle, refreshed by 3 months down under, made a great birdie on the 3rd hole where the pin position was as tough as it gets. 

Ronnie Watt was nearest the pin at No 7 and Andy Tucker celebrated his 60th Birthday!
