Results for November 14th

The TAMS teed off in Autumn sunshine as a sea of fog enveloped the town below. A widespread hoar frost coupled with fallen leaves and the low sun angle made ball finding difficult. This was reflected in low scores-13 points being a popular return. Two of our most recent members, however, rose to the occasion, Jimmy Mair taking second place from Ian Tate and Keith Ackerman after countback  with 15 points while Willie Waters took first with 16 points.

Brian Taylor was nearest the pin at 7.

Results for 7th November

A pleasant Autumn morning encouraged 26 players to the course. A heavy dew presented a bit of a challenge with several single figure returns being blamed on poor putting.

This did not deter Roger Key ,however, who scored 22 points for first place closely followed by Ian Tate on 20 points. Roger was also nearest at the 7th. Birdies there were none.

Results for September 26th

A wet  start coupled with an away seniors match saw only 12 players braving the conditions. There is something about hitting 80 years which seems to inspire good golf. This week Chris Beaumont repeated Jim Pettigrew's achievement of last week by winning on the week of his 80th birthday with 16 points. Youngster David Little was second with 15 points. No nearest the pin was claimed.

The JF Putter has been postponed until we can boost the number of players with the return of the senior match players.

Results for September 19th and Happy Birthday Jim Pettigrew!

Early morning mist created some uncertainty  if or when play might commence. The JF Putter competition was therefore postponed and a normal stableford substituted.

Play commenced at 9.50 and 3 groups of 4 and 2 of 3 were organised to avoid compromising the Lady's Open due to follow.

The mist cleared to another superb autumn morning very much enjoyed by Jim Pettigrew who returned 21 points, including 2 four pointers. Alister Lambie was second after a countback with George Langlands both scoring 18 points.

Birdies were recorded by Alister and David Ward Gittos at 4, and by Graham Mackie at 7 who was inches from an ace.

Jim Pettigrew was presented with a bottle of bubbles for his 80th birthday. Several ladies who were playing in the Open joined in the applause and were quite vocal in their encouragement for the players and the birthday boy!

Brian Robson was nearest at 7.

We play for the JF Putter next week the main rule being that on the putting surface  you can use any club except a putter.  Adds to the fun!
