A beautiful sunny morning made golf a pleasure compared with the gales and squalls of Wednesday morning. Roger Key and Steve Farrar repeated the result of 29th October with 20 points and 19 points respectively. Birdies were recorded by Ken Davie [4th], Roger Key [9th] and Ian Quigley [5th], Ian also scoring a respectable 18 points.
A pleasant if slightly breezy morning welcomed 26 players. Ground conditions were tricky particularly in the wet semi-rough.
3 players tied on 18 points, Warner Hardie, George Tucker and Steve Farrar, Warner ending a rather lean spell by taking first with George in second place and Steve third.
On a pleasant autumn morning with the course drying out 28 players competed for the John Forsyth Putting Trophy. The player with the fewest puts wins and there were some impressive low scores. The winner will be announced [hopefully] at the Xmas lunch on the 10th December.
Birdies were recorded by Ian Tate, Brian Robson and our newest recruit Alan Kelso.
I believe conditions were pretty bad on Thursday-they certainly were in Derby where I was.

21 TAMS enjoyed a wonderful late summer morning which was reflected in some very good scoring-does playing with only 5 clubs help to focus the golfing brain? As usual the winner will be announced [hopefully] at our Xmas lunch.
Bill Hardcastle birdied 8.

Steve finished with an impressive 5 points on the 9th. Worthy of a ball alone!
A reminder that we play a 5 club stableford for Roddie's Gavel next week.

He was joined at the flag pole by founding member Jim McAuslin and other TAMS. Gavin kindly expressed his and the Club's appreciation of the support given by the 'oldies '.
15 hardy [fool?] TAMS decided to face the morning monsoon. Not all completed 9 holes and at least another 6 stayed in the lounge for coffee!

Birdies were also recorded at 7 by Richard and by Graham Mackie.
TAMS are pleased to sponsor the new Club Flag.
A pleasant morning with the course in good condition encouraged 26 TAMS out before we welcome back our block tee times next week. Thanks to Sarah and the office for their work in making the new arrangements.

Graham Mackie and Ian Quigley were the other 2 members of the '22' club. On the countback George sneaked it from Steve by one point, Ian and Graham being a further point behind,.
Steve's 22 points at 93 must warrant a ball at least.!
