If April showers do bring May flowers, next month is going to be BEAUTIFUL here at Tam. After over 2.50" of rain overnight, the golf course is flooded and will remain closed today Wed, April 15. With water rising and more rain on the way, we will almost certainly be closed tomorrow as well. Updates are always available at our booking page on golftam.com. We hope to see you back soon!

Super interesting piece on the 1954 World Championship of Golf winner here at Tam O'Shanter, Bob Toski. Thanks Golf Digest!

In 1954, the ball-striking legend played the greatest golf, pound for pound.

A story well worth sharing. Proud of our fellow Niles Park District staff!

We'd like to send a big shout out to the individuals in the photo below. Earlier this week, an individual collapsed while playing pickleball at a Niles Park District facility. These men quickly recognized the severity of the situation and sprang into action. They simultaneously called 9-1-1, initiated CPR, and utilized an AED. NFD Companies quickly arrived on scene and began providing additional care and transported the ill person to a local hospital. The quick thinking and decisive actions taken by these men likely saved this individual's life. Thank you for your outstanding work!
