  • Tain set to tee off with Golf Scramble

    Tain Thistle will get their fundraising off to a driving start with the help of Tain Golf Club this March, as the club hold their second annual Texas Golf Scramble. On March 16th, players, supporters and golfers alike will gather to compete in the event, which takes place just as the golf and football seasons are set to begin. The day is being co-ordinated by former Jags keeper and current committee member Steven Martin who also works for the golf club's bar.<br /><br /><img class="imgleft" border="0" align="right" alt="" src="http://www.tainthistle.co.uk/news/data/upimages/golfers.jpg">Speaking to the official site, Steven said,<br /><br /><i>"We did really well with the scramble last year and it worked well in the interest of both the football club, who raised a lot of money, and the golf club, who had a few extra people through the door playing the game."<br /><br />"We've managed to sell every available space for the competition itself, which is great news, but we'd encourage supporters of the club to join us in the evening for the presentations and a good night."</i><br /><br />The golf will be followed up by a raffle with many fantastic prizes to be won, kindly donated by several local businesses and individuals.
