Results for October 23rd … and another TAMS Hole-in-one

/

23 players encountered a pleasant Autumn morning with the course in excellent condition as long as you could avoid the fallen leaves.

 

Scoring was generally good with 3 players returning 22 points. Jim Douglas dropped out after the first countback leaving Jim Pettigrew and Allan Young who were still tied after the full countback with Jim taking first place outscoring Allan by 3 points to 2 on the second hole.  Melvin Cannell was nearest at 7.

 

George Langlands was warmly congratulated on his hole in one at the 7th in last Saturday's club competition.

Seven teams took part in a TAMS Scramble competition.

Result of this competition will be announced at the TAMS Christmas lunch on 11 th December.


 Big event today was the Hole in One by Graham Mackie at the seventh hole.


Congratulations Graham.

 

I was happy to see it happen as I was in the same team as Graham.

As it was a team event  there was no  prizes for  birdies, or nearest the pin.

 

Results for 2nd October

/

On a mild, still day all 18 competitors managed to reach double figures.  However 2 players stood out from the crowd, George Langlands in second place with 20 points and John Varney in first with 22 points.

Jim Walker was nearest the pin at the 7th.  In the absence of Ken Davie and Chris Malcolm no birdies were recorded.

 

The TAMS Christmas lunch is scheduled for 11 December.

Results for September 25th

/

A fine Autumn morning was dominated by a masterclass performance by Chris Malcolm. Returning 23 points for first place Chris also birdied the 7th and 8th holes [nearly had 3 in a row] and was nearest at the 7th. As a result he was awarded 5 golf balls which we think is a TAMS record. A handicap reduction of 2 applies some- would claim it should be more!

 

John Forsyth returned a very credible 22 points to take second place.

 

We hope to play for the scramble trophy on the 16th October.

Match report 14th August

In light of the recent severe thunderstorm and the uncertain forecast the 5 club competition for Ken's Salver was postponed. We hope to play it next week. 

 

General scoring was good despite the wet conditions. George Cunningham and Bill Brownlee were tied on 25 points with George taking second place after countback. Ian Quigley continued his recent good form returning 26 points to win the day.

 

Bob Bennett birdied 7 while Allan Young was nearest the pin.

 

The group were sorry to hear that our oldest member, Steve Baczkowski,  had possibly had a slight heart issue. Steve is back home with his family and we all hope for a successful recovery

Only 14 played as several of the usual participants were involved in a senior away fixture.  The greens were in excellent condition but the bunkers were suffering from recent heavy rain.

There will be no TAMS on Thursday 10th as the course is closed for the Scottish Boys Open.
