The COVID Cup

The COVID Cup

In a week when we remember with sadness the passing of Joe Nisbet, the TAMS opened their season with the inaugural playing of The COVID Cup, a new annual competition to remind us of a season like no other.

On a bitterly cold morning thirty starters played stableford golf without knowing how to win this masked and sanitised trophy.

The winning formula was intended to reflect the odd circumstances in which we find ourselves and was the total of the stableford scores for each of the odd-numbered holes i.e 1;3;5;7;9.

In the spirit of the competition players were asked to wear masks for each tee-shot with balls being awarded for the best masks.

Warner Hardie, Ken Davey and Tony Kinder were judged to have the best masks - see below.

With a score of 14 points for the odd-numbered holes, our winner was our elder statesman, Steve Baczkowski, at the grand age of 94 and having had both of his jabs. A par 3 on the 7th was what won the day for Steve.

Wilson Struthers was second on 13 pts and George Tucker and George Langlands shared third place on 12 pts.
