What you didn’t know about Robert (Rabbie)Burns and the Global Challenge

This handsome chap is celebratedall over the world on January 25th, the life and works of Scotland’s mostfamous poet is bought to life on thisday with traditions dating back to hisdeath in 1796.The earliest mention of the Haggis, (which for those who don’t know iscommonly known as a small furrymountain dwelling creature who’sfrequents the Scottish Highlands) was back as far as 1520 in the works of Scottish poet Dunbar and Kennedy, some 240 years before ourmuch loved Mr Burns. However it wasn’t until Robert’s poem “Addressto the Haggis” that the dish really took o� in popularity, and is now considered Scotland’s National dish.

Robert Burns wrote over 550 poems in his lifetime, including the worldfamous “Auld Lang Syne”, which is now traditionally sung on the turnof the new year all around the world.

Burns Night came about when a group of merchants from Ayreshire, (some friends of Burns) got togetherand started “The Burns Club”, they held the �rst Burns Supper on whatthey thought was his birthday,January 29th in 1802. However on closer inspection of the Ayr Parish records, they discovered in fact thatBurns was born on the 25th of January, which is why we all nowhaul out the Haggis every year onthis very date. Now staying with thetradition dating back to the 18th

Century of changing dates left, rightand centre (we think a tradition this old should really not be messed with)so we will be holding our Burns Day and afternoon Celebrations on Saturday January 26th.

As Burns was a well known lover of golf (well we think he probably wouldhave been) we shall be hosting a Scotland & The Rest Of The World Vs England (The Global Challenge) followed by a Scottish feast, �t for Robert Burns himself. So bring out your �ags, your kilts, yourneeps and your tatties and sign upto The Global Challenge today on the main club board for January 26th. Tee times will start from 9:30am, “Addressing of the Haggis” will be performed and supper served shortly after. Last year was a great fun for all involved and we had some brilliant feedback on the day, so come and signup for some friendly nation rivalry.

Severe winds forced play to be abandoned for the third straight day at the PGA Tour's season-opening Tournament of Championsin Hawaii. Scores were scrapped onFriday because of gales and heavy rain, while no play was possible on Saturday.Just over an hour of golf was possible on Sunday before organisers called a halt and then scrapped the round. Plans are for a fresh start with 36 holes on Monday and 18 on Tuesday to get a counting 54-hole event completed."It's unfortunate but it started o� bad and got worse," said Slugger White, the PGA Tour's vice president of rules and operations."At the start it was 25mph, gusting 30mph, and that was OK but when it started gusting over 40mph we couldn't get the balls to stop on the greens so we couldn't play."Ian Poulter is the only Briton in a 30-man �eld that also includes Masters champion Bubba Watson, 2011 US PGA winner Keegan Bradley

and defending champion American Steve Stricker."That's not golf," said Poulter, who repeatedly backed o� shots as he tried to steady himself in the wind."I don't know what that is. You can't pull a trigger. You're taking 20 practice swings because you can't stand up. I guess what we've done is shown everyone it's unplayable."In some respect, at least we hit a couple of shots. Three days of sitting in the hotel is not good. At least I've warmed up for something. I'm just not sure what I've warmed up for."Second-round scores were scrapped after play was suspended because of high winds at the Women's British Open at Hoylake last year.For more information on this andother news visit the bbc website.

Congratulations Marc Laney on his fabulous hole-in-one on the 13th this Saturday 5th January !!

He wasn’t in the winter league so his score of 40 stableford points didn’t count towards anything but winning a pound from his playing partner Ian Montague, and the right to break an alcohol fast �ve days after the new year….oh well. Thanks to Marc for ringing the hole-in-one bell and buying a round of drinks for everyone in the bar. The story is now etched in the minds of those present after he went on and on about it for the afternoon. Well done Marc……

Don’t forget to tell us about great shots you witness at West Chilt.
