Tinlizzie, try giving it your best shot....(hint hint)

Thanks tinlizzie..obvious when it is pointed out but was looking for a name and got hung up on a fig!
8 I have an answer with the second part when you try and persuade with treats but I am baffled by the connection with shots.

84. Please can anyone explain what riding has to do with the answer
77. I've got a word for terrace but I'm a bit unsure as to the re for a shortened golf club
50. I've got 2 fruits but can't make either work. Please can anyone help with any of the answers by way of clues. Thanks

tinlizzie - good morning! Sorry if my previous clues haven't helped you get 8 yet!! it's really difficult giving a clue without writing the word, but I'll try for you!
How about thinking of a film "The Last T********* Of Christ" and use the first syllable of the missing word!
Or..'the footballer had 2 a******* at scoring a goal'

let me know how it goes!!

77. The golf club is a famous one in Scotland known by its initials.

50. Fruit beginning with A. Vessels can be all sorts, not just ships/boats but containers of all kinds.

8. Instead of 'shots' think of the word as 'tries'. You can have as many..........as you like to get the right answer.

Thank you so much to Calliewag, LadyBee and especially to Radar56 - have got it now and feel such a dimwit for not getting it sooner

tinlizzie - so glad you got it!!
you are not a dimwit, everyone has probably struggled over other answers that you might have got straight away..it's just proof of the way different peoples brains work!
So nice to receive thanks from those you have helped too! Have a nice Sunday now it's done!

cancan: 84. I think if you look up riding in Chambers you will find the connection.

Have trawled through all the posts here but can't find one related to no. 98. I'm obviously being very stupid, but I can't see it. Any hints, please? Is this the Isle of Wight yarmouth or something else altogether?

Hi calliewag
98.You'll kick yourself when you get it. It's an anagram of learned with the first letter of the place you mentioned in the Isle of Wight (lovely place) The answer is an island not far from England (another lovely place)
I would like to thank everybody on this site for the enormous help and wonderful clues that have helped me complete this excellent quiz
