Brrrrrr!

24 th November

16 souls braved a very cold start - minus 5 degrees Celcius -but it turned out a lovely morning especially for Gordon Fisher who won with 20 points then immediately fled for Christmas in New Zealand.

John Burnett was second with 19 points and Alan Urquhart recorded the only birdie at the 9th.

No nearest the pin at the 7th this week - probably should have been nearest the green!!!

10th November results

/

On a pleasant early winter`s day we had 22 starters still playing on summer greens.

Three players tied on 18 points - Bill Hardcastle, David Wallace and Richard Edmonds -and Bill won on countback. David was second, also on countback thanks to a welcome birdie on the 9th.

From the winter tee on the 7th, no-one registered a shot on the green, though there were many lost in that chasm left of the pin.

It was good to see that Jim McAuslin,despite a recent handicap reduction, continues to finish near the top of the leaderboard.

Oh, the dark mornings!

At 8am on Thursday it was still dark, delaying the early starters.

The vagaries of the putting surfaces were blamed for some poor scoring but did not stop Ken Davey and Brian Robson scoring 21 points each, Ken winning on countback.

Brian birdied the 1st and the 9th while Jim McAuslin was nearest a tricky pin position at the 7th.

With the clocks going back this weekend, normal service will resume for the early starters next week.

13th October Results

We had a good turnout of 17 players despite the 'iffy' forecast. We are now playing a Stableford competition every week until the spring. Scoring was good and the competition was close. 

The winner on 20 points was Roger Key even with 2 'wipes'. Runner up on 19 points was George Tucker with 3 players tied on 18 close behind

.Bill Hardcastle was nearest on No 7 and both he and George Raeburn birdied this hole.

We received a very gracious Thank You card from Stevie, who very much appreciated his 90th birthday card, cake and gifts.

TAMS results 22nd September

/

A gloomy start to the day combined with the lush rough resulted in only 13 starters. Once again the trying conditions brought out the best in the most senior of our senior players ( excepting Steve who of course won the other week! ) . There was a 3 way tie on nett 35 between Jim McAuslin, Ronnie Watt and Joe Nisbet. After count-back, Jim and Ronnie were joint first. 

There were no birdies and David Wallace was nearest the pin at the 7th. 

 

 

8th September results

Last week the TAMS played for the Ken Bowie Salver for the first time. The result will be announced at the Christmas lunch.

Yesterday, 22 braved the 'light' rain which was not so light. The last group ,who had the worst of the conditions , returned three players on nett 33. Our oldest TAM, Steve Baczkowski, won on count back from youngster Ken Davey with George Tucker coming third. Steve was also nearest the pin at the 7th.Birdies were recorded by Bill Hardcastle and Andy Tucker at the 9th.

 

 

 

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