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.

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 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.
