NORTH GOLF ALLIANCE
SANGSTER PIPS TAIN CLUBMATE
FERRIES OVER HOME COURSE
By ROBIN WILSON
Mike Sangster, who has made a significant impact in the Tain Golf Club’s junior section through his volunteer coaching involvement in conjunction with clubgolf Scotland, Showed he can also play a bit himself with a double winning return in the North Golf Alliance fixture at Tain.
One of the few coaches in Scotland to have achieved the PGA clubgolf level two qualification, Mike is also a favourite with the Mums, many of them following their sons and daughters onto the links and boosting the Tain membership.
After a scratch tie on 72 with fellow Tain member Billy Ferries, Mike made up three shots on the inward half with a level par 35, one birdie and one bogey, to beat the 38 from Ferries on the card comparison.
Sangster also had the distinction of leading the net returns in the field of 78 with a 69 off three.
Now seeking out Sangster for a bunker play lesson after finding four sand traps in his round is former Tain club champion Munro Ferries who four times found sand in his disappointing round of 74.
In the prizes for the second time this season was Thurso’s Dougie Thorburn with a 73 and from Reay Brian Suttar won the Class 2 handicap section for a second time.
Still to make an impact this season is last season’s dominant scratch scorer, Ron Taylor (Wick) after a 75.
Local member Steve Holmes, back in 37, led home a group of four with net returns of 71 after the inward half comparison. Mike Keay, the Tarbat green keeper, claimed third in Section 1 followed by Richard MacDonald (Reay) and Alliance secretary Robin Wilson (Brora) who failed to make use of his decent outward 36 with five bogeys over the next nine holes.
