The secret is out! Everyone will receive +5 strokes onto their existing handicap for the summer season.
The group said au revoir to long standing member George Tucker who is moving to Edinburgh but will hopefully return as a visitor and will certainly be on the list for the Christmas lunch.
After last week's rain cancellation 18 players braved the windy/wet forecast for this morning. Tony Kinder was most surprised at his first place with 16 points. Ken Davie and Melvin Cannell tied on 15 points, Ken taking the countback. Gordon Innes was nearest at 7 for the third time over the winter.
Everyone is looking forward to the new season and hopefully some warmer weather. Revised handicaps will be available for the 4th April.
Jim Walker was presented with a gift box of a 'wee drop red' as thanks for his sterling work on the 30th Anniversary project.
24 players were pleased to find the course at last drying out though fast greens[relatively speaking] presented a challenge.

A pleasant morning encouraged our highest turnout with 25 playing. 4 players were tied on 14 points for second place with David Ward- Gittos taking the countback. Chris Malcolm led the pack with 18 points.
Brian Taylor birdied the first with David Ward-Gittoss taking nearest the pin at 7 to complete a successful morning.
22 players welcomed a sunny morning with a hint of warmth. The course, however, is still very wet.
Scoring was better this week with more players returning double figures, John Cairns leading the pack with 17 points and Ian Tate taking second on 15 points. Ian also birdied the 9th and Jim Douglas was nearest at 7.
Course conditions were very wet this morning resulting in some extreme scores. Top of the good scores was Alister Lambie with 19 points while Chris Malcolm and Jim Walker could not be separated and shared second place with 17 points. Gordon Innes almost aced the 7th but had to settle for a birdie 2 and nearest the pin. 20 played despite the forecast.
21 souls braved a freezing/frosty morning but fortunately no wind chill. Winter greens made putting a bit of a lottery but added to the 'fun'.
John Varney was first with an impressive 20 points, closely followed by George Cunningham on 19 points. By some miracle Tony Kinder managed to stop his ball on the 7th to take nearest the pin.
A benign morning [certainly compared to the 70MPH gusts of yesterday] welcomed some 23 players. Scoring was slightly better than last week with Roger Key winning on 17 points closely followed by Brian Taylor on 16 points. Graeme Murray was nearest at 7.
In addition to the normal challenges of winter golf this morning's players had to negotiate many hoofprints left by horses which had escaped overnight from the top fields. Fortunately few greens were affected and the greens staff were repairing the worst of the damage.
Scoring was not inspiring with half the field returning single figures. George Langlands and our most recent TAM, Jim Douglas, tied on 16 points with George taking the countback by 8 points to 6. Gordon Innes was nearest at 7.

Birdies were recorded by Brian Robson at the first and by Jim Douglas and David Forsyth both at the 9th.
By some miracle Alister Lambie's ball stayed on the frozen winter green at 7 for nearest the pin.
After 2 fallow weeks 19 TAMS turned up for the first challenge of the year. Jim Douglas was welcomed to his first TAMS outing scoring 17 points to take second place from Alister Lambie on countback.

Graham Mackie had agreed to come on board to keep the wheels rolling on the TAMS bus.
Finally Agustin and the Scratch catering team were thanked for an excellent lunch.
14 souls braved a wild and wet morning the conditions making points scoring very difficult. David Forsyth led the field with 12 points with Alister Lambie taking 2nd place from another 3 players all on 11 points. Brian Robson was nearest at 7 having hit his driver off the tee!

The clouds lifted and 22 of us enjoyed a lovely sunny Autumn morning.

We will play the TAMS 3-man Texas Scramble on 16th November as the forecast is reasonable.
The dismal weather forecast put several players off. 8 did play with George Cunningham scoring 16 points for first, Roger Key coming second with 15 points.
Gordon Fisher was nearest the pin at 7.
Weather permitting we hope to play the 'Scramble' on the 16th November.
21 players turned up on a dreich Autumn morning. At least the rain stayed away. Scores were wide ranging with several in single figures.

Brian birdied the first hole while Roger Key was nearest at 7 and birdied the 9th for an impressive 5 points.
A date in November is to be agreed for last week's postponed scramble.
