25 players welcomed a lovely spring morning. Scoring was much improved reflecting the pleasant conditions. Runner up on 22 points was Gordon Fisher, recently returned from the Antipodes, while with 23 points Alister Lambie took the honours having recovered from delivering 1200 lambs with his team. Graham Mackie was nearest at 7 which Wilson Struthers birdied.

Congratulations to David Forsyth who achieved his first hole in one playing in the Strathmore Senior Gents Open last Friday. David also won the longest drive competition in his age category. Good shooting!

Brian Boyter kindly took some time out from his busy first week as Club Secretary to introduce himself to the group. He thanked the 'boys' for their continued support of the club and was very positive in his thoughts for the club's future.

20 players returned scores with Brian Robson taking first place on 21 points. Melvin Cannell and Ian Tate both returned 19 points, Melvin taking second place on countback. Ian, however, returned the only birdie at 9 while George Langlands was nearest at 7 for the second week in a row.

Two new players, Richard Leeson and Allan Young, joined the group.

Congratulations to John Napier and his good lady on their Diamond Wedding-the appropriate bag of Celebration sweets was much appreciated John.

23 players assembled for the last comp of the winter. Tricky conditions were reflected in several scores in [low] single figures. This did not stop our eldest TAM Steve Baczkowski from taking the honours with 18 points which included a birdie at 7-not bad for a 90+ year old! Youngster Brian Robson was second with 16 points while George Langlands was nearest the pin at 7.

Many are looking forward to the handicap increase of 5 effective from next week.

19 players ventured forth. On his first TAMS outing Mike Rowse returned 20 points to take the honours [handicap assessment?] with Brian Robson coming second on 17 points. David Forsyth was nearest at 7.

It is proposed that all handicaps will be adjusted +5 for the new summer season in April. The cap will still be 27.

Unfortunately Jim Pettigrew had a heavy fall coming down the 8th fairway. This resulted in a visit to Borders A & E on Friday because of severe leg pain.

Fortunately nothing was broken but there was some impressive bruising. Appropriate medicine was dispensed and a pair of crutches issued. No golf for a while but no doubt a lot of rugby will be watched by the former Currie RFC captain.

On a dull and dank morning 14 TAMS stalwarts took the field.

The greens have begun to look pretty good already though the muddy fairways made it rather hard work as there is no run at all.

Nevertheless Keith Ackerman made short work of it and was a clear winner with 16 points.

Sandy Macfarlane was all on his own in second place with 13 points but only 6 players made double figures.

Roger Key was nearest for a while some 120 feet from the pin at the 7th but was pipped at the post by Bill Hardcastle who was rather nearer the pin.

The clamour for handicap adjustments is growing!!
